Packing break
The buyer's appraiser is here, wandering outside the house now. Termite inspector is due sometime between 1 and 3 later today. Joy.
I'm realizing that I need to set aside a box of 'keep here with me' stuff. Things like the materials to make either the new ZedPM or the personal shield for the RodneyBear as well as the stuff to finish off the Pegasus patch which I have to redo. This will also require me to keep the soldering iron and assorted accoutrements so I can add that special geek touch of working lights. Not such a problem for the ZedPM as I'll be reusing the base... signed by David Nykl!!!... but necessary if I go with the shield. If I can do both, great... but Vancouver con is fast approaching and I need to get one or the other (or neither) done.
Which reminds me, I think if I'm staying on at work, I'll be getting myself a nice shiny new computer. I'd like something with a little more oomph than the laptop so I can whip up more of the Stargate trading card things. I'd like to have some ready for the Con to present at the autograph portion of the event with maybe a duplicate to give the guest if they want it.
On a different tangent... yay McShep drabble tree.... even if it looks like it's stalled out at 104 drabbles. When it's over, I'll post the ones I contributed. I'm working on one now, on my other packing breaks, but at 300 words and counting, it's far outgrown the tree. I hope to actually finish it and post it to the comm when I'm done. However, I'm quite adept at starting things without finishing them and this may be no different. Oh well.. I think the story so far is cool... and it's even from Sheppard's point of view, which has happened with the majority of my drabbles I think. Damn it... I love Rodney, not Shep. But... um... well.... I blame Beanie. No, wait, I blame Joe and his sexily mussed hair and gorgeous grin. On third thought, I love them all.. they'd make a great harem.
Oh well, there were some other more lofty and philosophical things I was going to say, but... um... need to get back to packing.
And, why yes... I have had lots of excessively large amounts of caffeine and sugar this morning, how could you ever tell? Hm. I should probably go get some real food to eat before my blood sugar drops to somewhere in the vicinity of China.
Ha! I remember what was so interesting I wanted to post about it. Last week folks were all a-buzz with the Warren Ellis and Joss Whedon 'fight' on Ellis' blog. Couldn't for the life of me figure out what was so cool about it, except it was two grown, writers being all 16 year old towards each other. Then I get my second Transmetropolitan book... written by none other than Warren Ellis. I see that blog exchange in a far better light now... they really are all 16 year old towards each other. Cool.
