Last night, y’all — I don’t even know how to say it.
Thank you.
Last night Mad Norwegian Press sponsored a Whedonistas / Resurrection Code book launch party. Mad Norwegian published Lars Pearson…
1. I went to the Beyond Victoriana panel, with Jaymee Goh and Ay-leen the Peacemaker as panelists. They delivered an excellent presentation on steampunk diversity outside of Victorian England….
Nancy Clue and I got in yesterday afternoon. After check-in we went to Jennifer’s apartment to meet her and Caroline. Pizza was had, comics were discussed. We played a game, the name of which has…
Oh, my children. They greeted me this morning with tears and Pokemon. The Pokemon, the children assure me, will miss me while I am away at Wiscon. A lot. So far K has started silently crying…
1. M is sick. He’s been sick, poor woogums. But this evening, prior to going to play for two hours with his friends at Circus, he announced he felt too sick to go. He then fell asleep on the couch,…
Friday Night Lights is on its fifth season. (Full disclosure: I’ve only seen season one, part of season two, and now I am watching season five.) The show is overtly about football and small town…
1. Went through the online Wiscon programming guide and tried to figure out what I want to go to, when.
2. Cleaned the microwave, stovetop, counters, swept the floors, did three loads of dishes,…
I want my son to succeed.
I’m not saying I want him to be a high-powered attorney, or to get a satellite of his own design into orbit. I’m saying, I want him to pick out a pair of underpants in the…
1. NPR has the original cast recording of “The Book of Mormon” available streaming on its website. This is, as advertised, incredibly obscene and profane. It is also blisteringly funny. It is …
I recently remembered that Big Finish Productions probably had more Seventh Doctor audioplays since the last time I’d checked. They did, and there were some I’d missed last time around as well. I…
1. This Assam White tea I got at The Tea Source is very, very good. If you like tea, I suggest checking out their wares — they also have gift packages and tea-of-the-month clubs.
2. I am…
1. I have resorted to collegiate habits. I wrote out on a piece of paper a three-week calendar, from now until Wiscon, and filled in all the things I need to do between now and then. This always…
1. Yesterday went well. M got home at 10:45 at night, but was a complete trouper.
2. I saw Thor last night! More thoughts on it on the forthcoming Fantastic Fangirls podcast, recorded soon.
3. I…
1. Happy birthday to N! In celebration we are hustling off to breakfast before K’s 10:40 makeup call for her final Blue show.
2. Apparently some of K’s older friends watched her Unicycle act last…
1. M acquitted himself well. Two other parents said hid did excellently in his Unicycle act, and he said he did not fall, not even once. He’s got to do it two more times, and REALLY doesn’t want to….
1. K’s first show went really well. She was so excited she forgot to eat, though. Poor kiddo! That’s eight hours with only a handful of pretzels.
2. The Y yesterday morning felt good. Like, why…
The Purple Show dress and tech rehearsal last night went really, really well, from my point of view. I think the riggers and act captains might have had different opinions.
We got there at 3:40,…
