Xubuntu, I'm choosing you... later.

(Yeah.  My laptop couldn't handle Ubuntu.)

Right now I should be asleep.  

Instead, my mind is reeling from a few things.  For instance, nailing a $1200 JVC HTDV for a mere $300.  Primarily, probably, it's the discussion over here.  Please, someone come save me before I make an ass of myself.  I feel like I'm considering ideas and methods that are beyond my understandings.

Maybe that's why I'm feeling particularly non-euclidean at the moment.  Like I might implode if my thoughts wandered a certain direction.

The second largest ingredient to my mania is the fact that I need to wake up from my nap in three hours, to go to the Meaningful Play Conference. (Link on the left)

Only, I don't really have a plan for what I want to see.  So, I'll map it out here.

I have no idea what the hell is going on with that formatting.  I apologize for the silliness.  I'll post my plan for the rest of the conference, tomorrow.

Note to self: When you wake up, grab a notebook and pack some nice clothes to bring with you.  As well as your cell phone charger.
