[personal profile] petra is writing ficlets! And she wrote one for me! It's Alex Drake from Ashes to Ashes and Sammy Dunbar from Michael: Tuesdays and Thursdays. If you haven't seen Michael: Tuesdays and Thursdays, Sammy is Holly Day from the first season of Slings & Arrows, as a book editor. All the ambition, amorality and manipulativeness in a much smaller arena.

Packing for Wiscon. Cannot fit all my Jo Walton books in my carryon even if I don't bring clothes. Should I check a bag? I don't think I own another.

Moderating Choice Feminism: Many people say that feminism is about providing more choices for people. There are people who, faced with this variety of choices, choose the same thing that the kyriarchy would have chosen for them. Can feminism support a variety of choices? How much variety? If there are choices feminism can't support, can it speak without massively disrespecting the women who make those choices? 10:00 PM - 11:15 PM Sunday, Conference 4. Competing for your attention with parties, Genderfloomp, and bed.

I have a five-hour layover in MSP on Monday, on the way back. What should I do?

Reading Reading Classes and The Highest Frontier for Wiscon. Think the last book I finished was State of Wonder. Next will probably be a reread of one these I'm putting in my suitcase for Wiscon.

On Monday, you could always hop the light rail to the Mall of America; at least it has restaurants. And maybe stores that are harder for you to get to by you?

Or just take a nice nap. I'm usually quite fried by Monday.

See you soon!!!

If you feel like exploring public transit (which you may or may not want to do during a layover) you could take the light rail up to the Lake Street stop, transfer to a bus (I think the 21 would work, but I'm going from memory there) and go to Uncle Edgar's & Uncle Hugo's bookstore! Used and new mystery and SF/F, on Chicago about half a block north of Lake Street.

Or you could stay in the airport and wave vaguely northward to wave hi to my sister, whom I realize you don't know but she's a neat person. :-)

Oh, and they've redone the G concourse and the custom burger place has very tasty fries, I'm told. I haven't had them, but my ex-husband works at the airport and passed that along. (He does tech support for a major airline.)
