Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Hee. Speaking of which, Fay, I did eventually find that bit with me. Which was quite much off screen indeed. And very much NOT the scene SA and I initially thought. But does make the "oooh, read it outloud" mistake all the much funnier. Heheheheh.
Am currently in the Spokane airport, killing time, as I arrived in plenty of time for an earlier flight which turns out to be full. BUT, it does look like I'll get home in time to attend Jilli's book thing!! (So maybe I can meet Omnis' people in person, heyyyy...)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I landed in Richmond to find my luggage destroyed. I would have been more upset if I'd lost anything inside the bag, but it was all okay; there was just a huge rip in one side and the handle was dangling uselessly. AirTran gave me a voucher for my next flight (with them, of course; sneaky polar bears). They don't "accept liability" for soft-sided luggage, so wouldn't give me actual money. Whatever. I was going to get rid of that bag ANYWAY.
Then I got home to find that the catsitter had closed the door to the bathroom with Wilson still inside. There's a litterbox in there, so I don't know why she closed it; force of habit probably. Wilson was hiding in a dark corner, but I've learned to search dark places extra carefully for him; he's black and seems to know it. Poor kitty; he doesn't handle stress well. He was all right though; he had the box and water and was probably only in there less than a day. Next time I'm going away I'll leave "check for both cats before you leave" signs on the door.
Man, it's hard to focus on work.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
my animals did *not* get the memo about allowing me to sleep. Last night and the night before i have been awoken by evil kitten doing the scratchy thing that bodes imminent urination. First night i immediately airlifted him to the bathroom and locked him in, which left me with the rest of the night full of Nico being a total jerk. Last night i spirited *both* into the bathroom and then slept very well indeed.....until i woke up with damp feet and realized that the bladder of doom was released before i locked kitties in the bathroom. *sigh* about 6 hours of soak time, there goes my mattress.

Hey SF-area folks!
Pete and I are going to be in Burlingame on Friday. (A Gothic Charm School reading at Books Inc. at 7PM!) Perkins very cleverly reminded me that I had not actually posted anything about this in this thread.

(So maybe I can meet Omnis' people in person, heyyyy...)Sweet! F will be there, but her DW is on a boat, learning to sail the next class up. 3 day intensive class. Perfectly overlapping with my visit. It was a once in a lifetime for her, poorly timed for me. So sad. Oh well. But YES! Meara, you can meet F, and get some of the skinny on where/who to meet.
ION. Still lazy. Housecleaner folks still not here. Now I want to shower and get out in the world, but feel I should wait longer so bathroom can be cleaned. If I was a 5 minute shower type of person, not a problem. Alas, I am not.

So the iPhone photo's I uploaded during the week are now added to the pool. So they should be easier to find in flickr. I have some more, including the zoo shot (half-dozen folks in print robes on a couch).

Our wings are not tired.
jilli, I've been peppering the Bay Area with postcards and can't wait until Friday! Do you guys have plans before/after?

What are your east coast plans, Jilli?

Ahahahaha, plans. Right. Um, there has been vague talk of dinner. That's all I can remember.
What are your east coast plans, Jilli?
We're in NYC July 17-19 or 20th. (My vague plan and grasp of dates, let me show you!) I've got a reading at the Mysterious Bookshop on the evening of the 17th, and an afternoon picnic at Green-Wood cemetery on the 18th. That's the only east cost stop we've got, because of budget. If someone can find an east coast-ish con that wants me & Pete as guests AND is willing to pay expenses, let me know. (This is where I should put a winky-smiley emoticon.)
