Thanks guys and ghouls. *wipes away the tear.
Another awesome weekend, and the possibility of a relationship in the near future (6 hour drive makes it long distance, but not the hard to manage kind).

Yay, ravage!
As for me, I had a faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaantastic weekend. Lewis Black was hilarious, Biloxi was really fun (I learned how to play craps! ^_^), and our hotel room had a beautiful view of the beach.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I am prepared for the week.

So, some short details: we went for coffee (Second Cup) and talkd for a good two hours, mostly about language and language barriers and such. At one point, she went to the bathroom, so I pulled out my little writing notebook (for ideas) and started playing the word game I play to pass the time. When she came back, she was curious, so I explained it and she started playing along, too. So, somehow, my being a logophile and hopeful teacher helped!
Although, I'm not sure if there's any mutual romantic interest. When we were both leaning in to play the word game on my notepad, I totally admit to getting butterflies and all that. And again when our hands brushed when she took our coffee cups out of my hands to throw them out, herself. Or at the end of the night after walking her home (just a hug, no kiss or anything).
...but, we talked about some things to do, such as go to the zoo or go ice skating in the winter.

I'm not sure if it has a name, but basically, it's this:
Write down a word. Using just the letters from that word, and only using them once each, in any combination, try to come up with as many words as you can.
For example, tonight I tried "sensations" (it was on the order board). So, I had some silly things like "ass" and "snot", but Sachiko came up with a great one: "session". I found "seasons", as well.

My wife's surgery got bumped to next Friday. If all goes well, she'll be able to enjoy a peaceful Thanksgiving!

Finally finished a couple of chapters in the story which were giving me a bit of trouble - specifically, Chapters 31 and 32, which involve an epic space battle featuring fleet-level technosorcery, kilometres-tall transforming mecha done Lovecraft-style, and a discussion of the disadavantages of having a weapon of mass destruction as an ex-boyfriend. I felt that the existing gratuitous nineteenth-century literary references, shapeshifting, cannibalistic assassins, and lesbian cyborgs were providing insufficient crazy, you see, and not even the incident in which a universe-crushing invasion fleet was obliterated via the judicious application of badly-translated Swahili was doing the job.
Bonus - now I'm up to 122,000 words. After that, a mere 1,500-word essay should present no problem, right?
