just a reminder

For those of you who will be going to Minicon: I'm doing a reading at 8:30 p.m. today and would love to see you there. I can get past the decapitated pantheon discovery and possibly even as far as the accidental puffins in the half hour I have. Puffins! How can you go wrong with accidental puffins and a decapitated pantheon?

And this morning I did the most miraculous thing: I had a nap! Because starting the first day of the con feeling like you haven't had enough sleep for a week is maybe not the optimal thing....

I'm also on a panel at 5:30, but if no one shows up for that, I can talk quite cheerfully to dd_b and pnh and even to people whose lj names are not TLAs. It's different to have no one show up for one's reading than for a panel with four other people on it. But last year people came, some of them before I even really knew them, and they laughed in all the right spots, and it was very good indeed. For me, I mean; who else's lj is this?

heading out

Okay, kids, I'm shutting down the computer and sitting with the beastlet until greykev arrives, which ought to be soon. I probably won't have much lj time until...umm...well, Sunday would be optimistic...Monday may be optimistic also...but we'll see. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Also, cpolk, cristalia, ksumnersmith: I'm counting on you guys to pull them through. Okay? Even if I wasn't at the con, it wouldn't be on Stupid US TV anyway, but: focus, people. You have a job to do. Now or never (or, more accurately, now or next season, but still -- better now).
