Tuesday in the City with Geor, er, Mei-Chan

[lagilman]

I have received my author's copy of RUNNING WITH THE PACK (edited by WFA-winner Ekaterina Sedia) and, of course, immediately went and looked at my story, "werelove." And, for the first time since writing it, was able to read it with the eye of Someone Not the Writer.

And, y'know? That is a damned interesting little story. Is it good? That I can't say. But it's interesting. And I think it says exactly what I wanted to say, in both the surface bluntness and the layered undercurrent.

Am very eager to find time and read the rest of the stories therein. Good-lookin' antho, yes. Would look good on your shelf.

I also got my VIP tix to the shuttle launch when I'm down in Florida for the Nebulas. I'm always anxious about things like this -- the thought of something going wrong, etc -- but I'm almost having a small geekgasm at finally seeing one live-not-on-tv. Hopefully, the weather will co-operate...
---------------------

Still puppy-sitting, so working at a computer-not-mine today. Back to TVW#3, after some intensive OtherJob hours. I really, really hate this keyboard, enough that I may switch to longhand for the rest of the day. This -- for those who sneer - is another good reason to keep in practive with the written form: so you never have an excuse to say "oh well, can't write today..."

Also, this gives me an excuse to go out to the Park with Puppy, later today. Not that I, y'know, neeeeeeed an excuse.

Also also: the resident coffeemaker totally misjudges how many scoops of coffee it takes to make a decent cup. 'm just saying... (ok, I like mine strong. I only get two cups a day!)

Pray for nice weather in Florida; more often than not the weather causes shuttle delays.

Oh, and you've got that Nebula in the bag. I'm really enjoying F&F.

I thank you for that vote of confidence. I'll still be wearing a (metaphorical) bridesmaid's dress, and enjoying every minute of it. :-)

Does it have to be metaphorical? I just suddenly got an image of you in ruffles. Lots and lots of ruffles. In magenta.

I have been fortunate in that all my brides wanted to live to see their wedding day -- one dress was a simple burgundy velvet that I had cut to cocktail length and wore several times more, the other a mostly-simple dark green with a buttbow I was able to remove three seconds after the ceremony was over.

I still have the green one, actually... hrm.

All coffee makers are NOT created equal.

This is why I love my French Press Pot. It is entirely under my control .....and easily portable!

Any excuse to write in your moleskine is a good excuse.
