jedusorMom is in California, and just finished the portion of her visit that includes me. I hadn't seen her or Link since August, so it was nice to spend some time with them, as well as with Cord and Clay. I'd forgotten how loud they all are. Things move so slowly and quietly around here that it was a bit of a jolt to have the whole gang thundering around.
Cord, Clay and I went ice skating with Jeffrey's family on Monday. I nearly made it the whole time without falling, but blew it two minutes before the rink closed. I did successfully manage the trick I was trying to do twice before landing on my ass, though. The three of us were handed back off to Mom, and that night the aforementioned gang descended upon Halflab, who were good sports about it, as usual.
Yesterday, we went to Google's corporate headquarters (though "corporate" really doesn't feel like the right word for that place) to have lunch with a Googler friend of Mom's. She gave us a brief tour before we ate, and it was pretty bloody awesome. I especially liked the huge T-rex skeleton wearing a Santa hat and devouring a Christmas tree. Also, the nap pod was pretty cool. And there were toys and books and food all over the place. I ran into two people I knew, and I know at least four other people who work there, not counting the person we were meeting. I'm tempted to devote my life to computer programming in the hopes of someday scoring a job there.
Rose (whose lecture on guerrilla knitting got linked on boingboing!) is going to be in the area for a while, and we've got vague plans to meet up sometime in the next week. After that, I leave for Boston! I'm so excited for the Hunt, and to hang out with NPL people. Fair E-Girl/Delirium/Liz is going to be there, and I haven't seen her in way too long. After her offer from MIT and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lizzip's offer from Cambridge, I'm hoping some college acceptance fu will rub off on me.
Okay, I'm sick of talking about me. How about you? What's the best thing that's happened to you in 2008 so far?
