To absent friends

raises beer

Where in the world is...

... Carmen Sandiego Doug Berry?

• Now that I've got that song stuck in your head, I can tell you that I've been fighting the worst cold/allergy attack/bronchial yuck I've had in a long time.


• So bad that I've been using the codeine-laced cough syrup I got a while back.


• Which is now gone. I haz a sad over this.


• But things finally appear to be improving, slightly.


• Other than that, been working.


• I did get a comped membership to Baycon.


• Unfortunately, with my work schedule and general ill-health, I was only able to make a few hours on Friday and Saturday.


• Still good to get out and see people.


• Niece Prime is making me feel like a slacker.


• She puts her resume up on Craiglsit, and is getting hits immediately.


• Already interviewed for one gig, and is out right now confirming a writing gig for a furniture shop.


• Paid by piece, but still, getting paid to write!


• Which only reminds me that I'm really not doing what I need to do to write.


• So from now on, one hour - minimum! - of writing daily.


• Even if it is complete and utter crap, get it down on paper/screen.


• In addition I'm going to start carrying my note pad in my backpack.


• Should I eventually sell something, I'm buying a corduroy jacket with leather patches on the arms.


• To wear to my first Worldcon as a Hugo Nominee.


• Also will need a bubble pipe.


• Note to self: Make sure jacket will go well with either the Campbell Best New Writer tiara or the SIX TIME HUGO LOSER t-shirt.


• Giants are doing.. okay. Over .500. but a lot of questions still to be answered.


• I am out of beer. How did this happen?
