I'd like to. Really I would. But the commute...

To other filkers who see this: Go! Their housefilks are great fun and have lots of good music.

Excuses, excuses. *scowls*
Just 'cause you're on another continent.

It's not so much that I'm on another continent as that I have yet to win the lottery and so, while the choice between books and food will usually trend towards books, the choice between "fly to filksing" and "pay rent for the next few months" will probably go rent.

We need to start working on that Israeli Fan Fund Lisa keeps suggesting.

Or else we need cheap, readily available instantaneous transportation.

I keep wavering between wanting

a technological transporter (which would transform the world to a degree so frightening that I, despite reading Niven, would be afraid of it-- but if I were the inventor, I'd be fabulously wealthy!)

or

a magical transporter (one that works only for me and my friends, and thus is a mere superconvenience but doesn't change the world... I've even thought of the perfect trigger: in order to operate the teleporter, you need to sing "Hope Eyrie"! Of course, eventually the teleporter's existence would be discovered by the FBI and I'd be rounded up and dissected, or else I'd die at the worst possible time leaving all my friends in the lurch, or...)

I'm such a pessimist. :-/

I want a technological one.

But not one in every home, or even on every street corner; just at bus terminals and airports and the like.

...'Course then there'd be little to no need for airplanes, which would be sad, because I like flying.

It's a BIT of a drive ...

I think Hill Valley residents would find a working clock tower a lot more useful than one permanently frozen to one time.

[batyatoon]

Depends which residents.

The "Save The Clock Tower" lady? Totally a Timecop.

Nutbunnies.

Btw, I saw your doppleganger on the bus today. I thought for a minute it might be Beatrice, but there's no way in hell Beatrice would wear pink hoop earings.

*choke* Not a chance.

*bounce* Having a long-but-not-undoable commute, happyfunpaul and I will be there. (We're staying with ladymondegreen Saturday night.)
