Life Beckons, Blogs Suffer

It should've really come as no surprise to me that the more shit there is to do in a location, the less time you have to write about it. And yet, I'm about to round up week number 3 in SF, and I still have this nieve belief that I can actually blog about everything while also working, finding a place to live, adjusting to a new city, etc. etc. etc.

So, instead of one of my usual witty, awesome posts, you get pictures for the moment.

First off, 2 weeks ago I got to go to SF Pride. The flickr set is a Baskin Robbins of Gay. 31 flavors and then some.

Of course, for all of you RSSing bastards who can't remember what clicking through is like anymore, I must link to my favorite picture from the set and easily favorite float from the parade:

Man, The Barbary Coast Cloggers rocked my ass. The picture turned out perfect, too. It sums up the parade so wonderfully. You can just feel the potential clogging that's about to turn into some hardcore motherfucking KINETIC clogging.

Sidestory: IM exchange to a friend back in Oklahoma:

[me]: Dude, pride was fucking amazing, you shoulda been here.
[him]: Yeah, but, um, I'm not gay.
[me]: DUDE. CLOGGERS.
[him]: What did I just say?
[him]: I'm not gay.
[him]: So I don't know what clogging is.
[me]: ...

Annnnnnnnyways, for it being cock christmas and all (and yes I realize it's also LT to to go with the GB, but, well, my blog, my preferences, and I was dreaming of a white, sticky christmas in June (Good god, 3 weeks here and I'm already sounding like master of the stalls)), no santa came down my chimney. Suppose it's good there was no lump of coal there either, though.

Wow, that was the most abstractly gross joke I've made in a while.

Anyways^2, let's move on to the 4th of July, i.e. yesterday, day of the Survival Research Labs party, which the lovely Violet Blue invited me and She Who Owns The Hand:

( ) <--- The Hand

to.

For those of you that don't read my LJ (and really, how could you not? It's chock full of all of my non-sex writing... So it's actually fairly quiet.), here's the media:

So that's the end of my adventures so far, though Friday I leave for the Women in Games Conference in bright (pffft), sunny (heeee) Middlesbrough, UK. I'll be presenting a talk on Sex in Games there, because even after 5 conferences, people still think I know something about this stuff. I'm looking forward to it, from the looks of the schedule, there's gonna be some VERY interesting talks (Gender Differences in Talking to Teddybears! Yeah, I'll so be writing that one up)... And hey, I'll get to watch the World Cup Finals in a country that cares.

Maybe this will finally be the mythical conference I liveblog, too.

Maybe.
