so what do you do…

…at 1:30am when the baby is up again for a second jetlagged night in a row? You go make with the bright makeup and do a little middle of the night photo shoot with the FREAKING AWESOME CHANCE MASK THAT GOWS SENT YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW FREAKING COOL IS THAT?!?!??!?!?! I actually just stared when I opened the box. Total incomprehension. I mean, I knew what it was, but I’d talked to somebody a while ago about making just such a mask and things kind of went south there, so I was…

two weeks to go

With two weeks to go, the “No Dominion” Kickstarter campaign is at an astounding $10.7K. $1300 more and it’ll reach the signed limited trade paperback edition level, which is absurdly cool.

(Particularly aggravating because, well, hell, it’s November 1, I could be working on the damned NNWM novel since I’m *awake*, except I can’t be because he’ll Help.) So anyway, I figured I might as well go through the mail, open the box from gows, and see what I owed her. ’cause, see, I knew what was in the box. Chocolate chips and copies…

safe!

Safe at home. Visiting is always splendid, but coming home is always good. It’s very weird there in America: all the passers-by have American accents. Really did my head in in NYC, where the occasional French-speaker hit my ear as a great relief. :) Nanowrimo starts tomorrow, she said in a faint panic. Faint, because I’m too tired to panic fully. And panic or not, I have to do the RAVEN CALLS revisions first, so…well, I’m just hoping I won’t start out NNWM *too* far behind. other thinks to do:…
