And so...

[lagilman]

And so, I did not win a Nebula. And I am okay with that.

No, really. I've had a fabulous weekend -- we got to see the Atlantis shuttle launch (at the VIP stand, yet!) and I got to meet in-person a lot of folk I only knew via the Internet (Eugie, Paolo, Cat, etc) and hang with folk I don't see often enough, and saw Joe Haldeman get his Grand Master award.

All goodness.

(and no, I never did get nervous, even when they paused before reading the nominees.)

And I signed a lot of books and had many people say nice things about Flesh and Fire (to counteract the blogger who came up in my Google trawl this morning who said "Gilman does description well but I don't understand why this book was chosen for "Best Novel" status"), and I haven't gotten sunburnt.

Erm. Considering I'm about to go spend the day Outside, maybe I shouldn't have said that yet?

I saw the shuttle launch the first time it went up after the Challenger disaster. It was scary until the SRB sep happened. We were in the VIP stands too. How did you like that crackling rumble as the sound came across the water? So cool!
