So, another year, another WorldCon and I wish I was still there with all the smart, interesting people around me. I just looked at my last LJ post, and Holy Batman, that was pre-LAST WorldCon. It also proves that SF people make lousy prophets--"get laid off by end of year" yeah right, I did get laid off, count it, 3 days BEFORE Denvention. I ( Read more... )

Long time no livejournal... Now if I can figure out how to link facebook with this, it might be easier ( Read more... )

Mein Gott, it's been a sehr long time I have been on Livejournal, und ich need some help translating a few things to Deutsch, so I figured maybe someone in my friends list can help me out it. I am trying to figure out how to say "Green Room" in German--not in the sense of a-room-that-is-green, but in the theatrical sense (also adopted by SF ( Read more... )

OK, it has been kind of crazy in a weird way lately, so not only was I not updating LJ, I wasn't even READING it--lots to catch up on.
