Sunday, oh Sunday

Due to some strange acoustics, the grackle outside my bedroom window sounds like it's inside my closet. The felines are passing-confused. I am drinking coffee, pondering a plot twist, and resisting the urge to go down to the 9th Avenue International Food Festival and nearby flea markets. However, should any New Yorkers be reading this and want to encourage me in dereliction of my duties... And lo, it rains, rewarding my decision to stay home, eat leftover lamb pie, and work....


A reminder: Brenda Novak's charity auction is still going on. You still have the chance to bid for the right to have your name (or the name of a loved one) used as a character in HARD MAGIC Bidding is here. Last bid was $155, which is about half of the winning bid last time I did one of these for the Emergency Medical Fund for SFWA! And this one you can put on your credit card, and get points as well as a tax deduction!

And for those of you with a proposal in your hard drive but no idea if it's any good, Best Agent Evah Jennifer Jackson has a one day auction (starting in about 10 hours or so) running now for Evaluation of a Proposal and Drinks (it says at RWA but she's willing to adapt it to other conferences as well). Speaking as someone who has had both crit sessions and drinks with Jenn a few times now, it's well worth a bid! EtA: half an hour in, and they're up to $600. Duuuudes!

And now I must go shoot that grackle, because it is So. Damn. Annoying.

9th Ave food fest is today?? Aw, crap. If I'd remembered a few days ago, I might've planned to go. But here I am still in my pyjamas. Foo!

Me too. I'm so pissed at myself at forgetting, it's usually my favorite event of the year. Bah. I hope it starts pouring. ;P

You should totally go! I'm going...and eating my little heart out.

Nah. Now it looks like it's about to rain.

As much as I would love for the bid to be tons at the Novak auction, I hope it doesn't go much over $200. I can't afford more than that. :-)

good luck!
