Well, this is getting twisty...
So, ACen continues to approach, and I continue to be in contact with the registration team. This evening, I sent them a scan of a copy of the check I sent them, showing it being cashed one month after I sent it. So, if it's cashed... where's my freaking badge? Well, the ball's in their court now. It'll be to see what they do.
I was going to go to Chicago today. However, this whole thing got me screwed up.
In good news? I've got a checking account! And will be getting a debit card! I've got to be extremely careful, though. I do not want to mess this up. Debt may be fine for everyone else in the US, but I hold myself to standards.
Let's see, news of things not mentioned. One of my co-workers is even more of an excellent artist than I had imagined. She's got major talent, and I hope she goes far. This does mean, however, that I continue to know FAR too many artists, for such an artistically-challenged fellow.
Reading is going well, and I have several books ongoing. I'm reading an excellent biography of Washington. I've made it my mission to read at least one biography of every president of the US. I'm also reading a work on the life and times of William the Conqueror, and that is going very smoothly, though I could use a little aid in the way of all these counts and viscounts of Norman lands, that's for sure. Still reading up on the Wars of the Roses, as well, including a report of archaeological work from the Towton battlefield. Believe me, if you want to hear of truly horrific warfare, Towton's the place to look. Truth truly outshines fiction.
In the fiction department, I've got my head into the second volume of Watt-Evans' "Dragon" series. "The Dragon Society". Couldn't find my copy for the longest time. So far, continuing need for revenge, what else is new? Also reading a short story selection on AI called "We Think, Therefore We Are". Quality work in there. Especially one piece about what is essentially a sentient truck, and his dealings with the philosophy of his code.
That's just a smattering, of course.
Well, onward and offward!
