My posting binge continues ...
Have spent too much time online this weekend ... but am using it to catch up on SFnal happenings.
I finished off Eclipse Two this weekend, and really enjoyed it. Some of my favorite stories -
Turing's Apples by Stephen Baxter, in which there are distantly-threatening aliens and the brother of an obsessed scientist.

Fitz!
After several unsuccessful Petfinder.com ventures - and may I say, Texas Tailwaggers of Lewisville, you suck. How hard is it to just send a one-line e-mail saying "We don't like you, you don't get our dog"? No response to several e-mails and phone calls is unacceptable, in my view - at last, success!

Weekend not going as planned ...
FedCon Dallas cancelled an hour into the second day.
Bah. Well, before they shut it down I had fun. Gigi Edgely from Farscape had some great stories & was very animated, and John Billingsley, the Doctor from Enterprise, was also entertaining.

In need of a fix ...
WTF, Amazon?!? I finally got a ride to the post office today to pick up my package of Stargate Atlantis seasons 1 & 3, which I bought for myself after fearing that no one would get them for my birthday while they were still on sale, and have been looking forward to anxiously since getting the notice in my mailbox a week ago.
