Con report is up on my real journal. No pictures yet.

My brain has clicked over to it being September and desperately wants to wear jeans and sweaters and jackets. It is too warm for those things. It is almost always too warm for those things in early September in Minnesota. Silly brain.

I am feeling much better than I was last night -- DayQuil is our friend -- but it's not without drawbacks. I have the attention span of a gnat now. A very young gnat. A gnat toddler. Yes. I'm going to get a bit of everything done, I think, and not much of anything, and I suppose that had better be fine, because it's what I've got at the moment.

The thing about WorldCon is that it made me think about marketing for a bit, and it's very, very hard to keep momentum or optimism when you have to think about marketing. Or when I have to. Now I'm thinking about stories again, which is much better, and have a short-list of marketing-related tasks I will accomplish in the next week, and that's all right too because I can just do it and not think about it too much. Right? Okay then.

Hmm. I don't remember saying "Just because Bear talks about it doesn't mean it's a good idea. I thought this would be self-evident!" though quite clearly it's the sort of thing that I say. Sometimes I say it a lot even.

And while I remember making the boys around us laugh at Cory's panel, I don't remember what they were laughing at. (I do remember making Hannah hurt herself laughing during the panel--gosh that girl's easily amused.)

But then again, I seem to have forgotten large chunks of the con, except when I think specifically about them. It may be a defense mechanism or else my head would explode.

The Bear bit was when we were talking about Laura Bush's boobs and you overheard and were appalled that it had come up. I tried to blame Bear, but you were not letting me off any of the blame.

The boys around us were laughing at the Charlie Stross vs. China Mieville discussion. I specifically remember them laughing in their sleeves when I said, "Geekboys with beards. God, I love cons. It's like a smorgasbord." And Hannah was amused at something else entirely, but I forget what, but I was amused at her amusement.

oh, that's right. Especially since most of the boys around us were geekboys with beards. :)

Hannah was laughing over the trailer in topeka comment, as we looked at each other and said "Jer!" at the same exact moment. :)

Yes, that's right: Hannah is meanmeanmean. And fun. And mean.

Hannah can't be the mean one, cause she's not the one who called Jer over the cat/trailer horoscope.

There is more than one mean one.

Really. I spent the long weekend with you people. There's more than one.
