And I forgive you if you find that you cannot swim

I will not attempt a coherent summary of today, either, because I have been awake for far too much of it, but it was quite good. There were people I didn't know at my reading, and I even think some of them were in the right room; I wound up moderating two of my panels extempore (and in the process being asked to sing the "Lyke-Wake Dirge") and they were not trainwrecks; nor were the two I didn't moderate, though enthusing about Bride of Frankenstein for an hour was particularly fun; I was scheduled more or less solidly until five o'clock, but in my one hour off I managed to run into two friends from college (one being [livejournal.com profile] captainbutler; the other is now a lawyer, juggler, firespinner, and reader of Tarot cards, which sounds like some kind of professional trickster figure to me), a commedia artist, a bookseller I now owe CDs to, and some of the Post-Meridian Radio Players (whose show had better turn up on YouTube, thank you, programming). There was also dinner, which was an epic event: it involved me, [livejournal.com profile] nineweaving, Eric, Daniel, Deborah Mills, sheets of rain, a car that was not parked where we thought it was, Mary Chung's, and a whole fish in spicy bean sauce, like unto Leviathan at the end of time. Fortunately, all I have to do tomorrow is print out some lyrics, burn some CDs, and decide whether anyone other than me is likely to want to hear the "Anchor Song." I can think of worse dilemmas.

It all sounds wonderful: though I admit this is from the point of view of an imagined me, enjoying all your hard work, rather than an actual you, doing it!

And did you sing the Lyke Wake dirge?
