vw, have you seen Skippy's List of 213 things he is not allowed to do in the Military? [link]

Bwah!

Jess, did I read (somewhere...) that you're coming to ComicCon in July? As in San Diego?

Yep! Coming in Friday morning and flying out Sunday night. Are you going to be there?

Yep! I even get to go for free this year! My RenFaire Guild gives me not one, but two connections! (I'll probably be working with the guy in distribution, 'cuz I'm afraid I'd go all FanGurl if I worked with the one who wrangles guests [though that may change depending on the guests...]. Lemme know if you miss out on any good swag while you're there, I might be able to hook you up).

Oh, and we should totally grab dinner or something too! (Sorry, got distracted by all the shiny for a sec there). I could probably even offer a couch to sleep on if you were desperate.

Remind me closer to the day and I'll give you my cell #. Yay!

Niiiiiiiiiice. I still have to check and see if I can get a free pass through my office -- DH gets in free because he's press, and I think I can pass for industry enough to get through the door.

We're on 2 hotel waiting lists (they booked way fewer rooms this year than last, it seems), but I'm not worried about space opening up. We should totally get dinner!

OH MY GOD, people.

of all the places I've been to in my short life, where do you think the most likely place my bag might be stolen is? Milan? London? New York?

Nope. Apparently it is Shannon Johnson Elementary School, Berea, Kentucky.

I went there to tutor for the first time today--I walked in with my bag, and one hour later it was nowhere to be found. No one remembers seeing it. But my car keys were in it, so I can't have left it in the car (which I know I didn't do anyway) and the likelihood is that someone picked it up. Whether intentionally, or mistaking it for their own, I do not now.

Today's bag contained my Dell computer, my PDA, my ipod, my cellphone, my irreplaceable notebook from Guatemala, and my water bottle. Luckily it also contained identification, though not a contact number.

Of all the places in all the world, it was an elementary school where my bag has been lifted. This must be some kind of karmic payback.

dose that people with *anthrax* need

That's the first thing Fella said when I told him about the 'biotic. "Isn't that what they treat anthrax with?"

Which makes the fact that the UTI didn't run scared from it all the more unsettling. Eep.

Maybe I've got uranthrax. (that should totally be the name of a band.)

eta: OMGWTF SA. How awful. it's always the quiet ones I hope something miraculous happens...like someone took it by mistake...

Cipro's not that uncommon a prescription, though -- it's not as though anthrax is the only thing it treats, just the most sensational.

Shit, SA, that's terrible! Do you think there's any chance of getting it back?

Oh, jeez, SA. How frustrating!

ION, I want this apartment: [link]

SA, how awful.

I know, right. I have no idea if I will get it back. I have no idea who would have or why they would have taken it. I don't know if they will be assed to find a way to get it back to me, and if so, whether it will have any or all of the $2600 worth of technology residing in the bag. I just don't know. I'm completely, utterly flummoxed. It hasn't hit me yet.

Most of all, I'm really pissed I can't watch the new Supernatural I just downloaded this morning.
