I spent this weekend at Ad Astra, and as always, I had a fantastic time. I spent most of my time there schmoozing (Ad Astra is good for that), and so didn't see very many panels other than the ones I was on, but I did make it to a couple. It was also nice to see some of the people I don`t usually see at Polaris, as well as some of my author friends ( Read more... )

I'm kind of surprised to see that I didn't post anything all week. Well, not entirely surprised... I would have had to have posted about Ad Astra, and I'm kind of embarrassed about something that happened there. On a weirder note, I had a "WHATTHEFUCK???" moment tonight at bowling.

No, not that kind of quickie ( Read more... )

I feel like I'm constantly falling further and further behind... over 500 emails in my inbox right now. I've read them all, and I don't need to respond to all of them, but I keep saving stuff with the intention of going back and answering... which reminds me, that long, locked post from a week and a half ago? I do intend on replying to your ( Read more... )

I just wanted to let everyone know that there seem to be no aftereffects of the smack I took on the back of the head when I fell on my way home last night (or, as nexstarman referred to it, the "beump" :) ). There is a bit of a tender spot on the back of my head which I only really noticed when I laid down to go to sleep last night, but I woke up fine today ( Read more... )

First, I'll get the bowling out of the way: 167, 182, 143. I didn't have much left in that third game - even though I took a painkiller, it didn't do much good. According to Mario, the particular medication I've been given contains anabolic steroids and require a bit of a buildup in my system for them to work effectively. I wish I'd known that ( Read more... )

I just realized that I haven't actually updated since Thursday night/Friday morning, so I should fill folks in on what's been going on for the last few days.

First, I had a fantastic time at Ad Astra. I didn't get to see a whole lot of the con during daylight hours, as I was at the Gaylaxicon table for all but about four hours of the con.

Last night was a mediocre bowling night for me: 146, 166, 164. A tiny bit below my average, but not terribly so. We were short a bowler (I haven't been able to reach cuteteenboy in a few days, so I don't know what happened to him), and the other team had a huge handicap advantage (over 100 pins), so we ended up losing all three games ( Read more... )
