And people used to laugh at me when I said the only sport I cared about was curling, mostly because I thought the chicks were hot. But now there's a Women of Curling calendar coming out, all nude. See? I wasn't wrong. They are athletically naked under all those clothes!

I'm spending some (most?) of this weekend at Foolscap, a kind of writerly, literary convention that's really an excuse for those of us who pound the keyboard all day to see each other face-to-face. I'm not feeling it this year; I haven't written nearly as much as I should have, the elections and the economy depress me mightily and take a lot of wind out of my sails. That said, there's another con going this weekend that I wish I'd known about and will hopefully be attending next year: Arse Electronica (subtitled, "Do Androids Sleep With Electronic Sheep?"). I mean, c'mon, how can I go wrong with events titled:

Datamining Slash Fiction: Automated text analysis of patterns in homoerotic amateur science fiction stories
Princess Peach the Porn Star: Power in Erotic Video Game Fan Fiction
What is the 21st-Century Novel?
Sex-related interfaces in mainstream science fiction
Performance, Identity, and Subversion: Sex and Gender in the Age of Social Networking
From Computer-Mediated Sex to Computer-Generated Sexuality: An Outlook on the Posthuman Sexual Trope
Mechanical morality, Robotic love: the Cultural Representation of Sex Machines in the Modern West

The one on "Posthuman Sexual Tropes" looks really fun.
