checking in....

posting from Lovely Burbs of Boston, attending yet another bar mitzvah. Or rather, recovering from same*, as I try to plow through the last of the revisions to RETRIEVERS 5 prior to heading over to Pandemonium for the signing.

After this, there are no more bar/bas mitzvahs for at least two years. Yay. Then, god help us, the weddings graduations will start. Eeeeeee!

As an aside, there is a particularly interesting sensation when, in an unfamiliar locale late at night, being handed a GPS system and told 'this will get you to your destination,' and then having the battery on the GPS die on you halfway there. I was tired enough not to have even a flutter of panic as I figured it out, although I did have a few choice Anglo-Saxonisms to share with the Universe.








* In case anyone was wondering (and if so, why?), I can do The Twist while wearing 4" heels. Yes, without breaking anything.

(no subject)

home now. off again tomorrow to EnWhySee. Busy, busy. busy. Someone mix up another pitcher of mojitos, please....


several actual quotes from the signing:

"Not so much an anti-hero as a sonofabitch hero."

"Because I am a geek of a certain age, and it amuses me."

"Evil overlords? Well, there are a lot of obsessive-compulsive workaholics out there..."

"Oh dear. A minon of the minyan."

"If I sleep too much I get stupid. My brains get bored and go away."
