it don’t hardly seem possible…

It don’t hardly seem possible, but I’ve done everything on my get-ready list, and I am prepared to go to ComicCon. I’ve added a reading on Sunday at 12:30 in Room 24A, where the California Browncoats are generously inviting Whedon-friendly writers to come in and read a bit of their own work. That makes a panel, two signings, and a reading over the weekend. I am *extremely* pleased by this. My final schedule, for the value of “final” which means “this is likely to change at any moment” and also…

making a list, checking it twice

/Ted made an OMG good dinner last night. I allowed as how I was going to keep him for at least *two* more weeks (since I’ll be gone for a week, I better keep him for two so I can take advantage, you know). Really, I don’t know why I say that, because *I’m* not the one who’s got a waitlist of women (and possibly the occasional guy) who are hoping I might part ways with my spouse and therefore be available. I believe /Janne is first on the waitlist.…

early morning blog entry

This is my early morning “warm up the fingers before I start the real writing” blog entry, where “early morning” means about 9:30, which really isn’t very early at all. And it won’t be posted until sometime tonight when I go over to my parents’ house to use their internets. Not the point. *squinchy face* It boggles my little mind in a turrible way that today is the first of July, and the second half of the year has begun. It’s been an extremely chaotic half-year, and I wouldn’t mind…

rocky day

Today has been pretty emotionally high-strung. I read this morning that our friend /Frank Darcy, the charming gentleman who ran the last two P-Cons, has gone into hospice and isn’t expected to live much longer at all, after spending most of the last fifteen months fighting stomach cancer. His daughter posted to his journal to let people know, and is passing messages along, which is incredibly thoughtful of her. Frank befriended Ted and myself early on in our introduction to Irish fandom, and I will absolutely never forget the entrance…
