crankyoldman: "Hermann, you don't have to salute, man." [Pacific Rim] (tellah spoony)
Really, I'm starting to wonder if there is a curse on me for ever leaving Ohayocon simply. All I had to do was get on a bus.

But the bus was two hours late, due to breaking down, and when I get to the transfer station they had to call a cab for me instead (which they paid for, thankfully, because that transfer station is skeevy) and since he could only take me to the bus station here (which is a street due to construction) I had to walk back to my dorm (which is a doable walk, but a little harder with a suitcase and a carryon). I'm tired and hungry and smell awful from all that.

Then again, I got to talk to a really funny security guy named Mohammad because he guessed I was coming from Ohayocon and was apparently trying to make it as a voice actor (and did a wicked villain voice, I'd hire him) while waiting in Columbus. And then my cab driver Alfa (who was from Guinea originally) was very sweet and chatty and since I can easily chat with random people we got to talking about all manner of things and I really hope good things for him.

I'm consistently amazed at some of the people I meet while traveling. Not everyone's nice (and Alfa even joked about how some people at bus stations are scary) but I've got enough self-preservation just to avoid those, or at least respond enough to get them to go away and leave me alone. Whenever I wonder if humanity really sucks or not, I meet people that convince me otherwise. I also got pretty far with Barrayar reading, too.

So yeah, I'm way less annoyed than I should be. XD Con details to follow, pictures whenever other people upload them.
