I had a really wonderful time at
MFF, and then on Thanksgiving weekend at
Darkover con. Alas, I did not take the time to commision a badge at MFF, which I really wanted to do. What I didn't feel like was trying to decide amongst so many very very talented artists there.
By now, I'm mostly moved to Annandale, VA, from Silver Spring, MD. I have left in the old place a few boxes worth of stuff (plus refridgerated and frozen food), but most importantly, still have a table and three bookshelves. My landlord loaned me his land-boat (a really huge old station wagon, more like the size of a mid- or large-sized pickup), in which I was able to take two bookshelves and my bed. My old landlady is being generous, and is allowing me through the weekend to finish moving stuff out. I can take everything but the table and bookshelves myself in the rental car. I have a volunteer but don't want to mention the person's name here in my LJ for privacy. :-)
Hopefully I'll start writing more soon. For one thing, my previous Wednesday night and Friday night activities are now too far away; I'll only likely hit them when I'm able to work offsite those days and drive over during the day when the traffic isn't so bad.
*hugs all*
