larryhammerAnd now, this week, I have finally seen an instance of a car driving up to the office building, a woman getting out of the driver's seat and heading in and a man switching from passenger to driver's seat to take off. Instead of the other permutations.
Also this week, for first time in decades, I heard a bat. Not the sonar squeak -- it was chittering as it flew. But still -- heard a bat.
And not this week, but next month, I'm heading to a convention in a new genre for me. Which is not to say I haven't been reading origami books since I was 8, but I've never attended an origami convention -- closest I've come is a couple meetings of a local origami-and-Japanese-culture group. It will be interesting to see how the community will be similar to and different from the fandoms I usually orbit. It will also, I suspect, be a blast: three days of workshops, a dealer's room, exhibition hall, and the chance to geek out with fellow folders. And possibly fanboy a few times.

Date: 31 May 2014 12:08 am (UTC)I regularly get out of the car and turn it over to darkforge, but agreed, it is not extremely common. (In our case, I've always enjoyed driving more than he has, and I like being able to brace against the steering wheel while the car's moving.)
