I feel like Captain Turdbucket for being slacky in responding to some Boston Warren business last night, as this contributed to the consequence that we're all unscheduled and uncomped for Vericon, now. sigh.


[livejournal.com profile] leahleaf is now with us. That's nutty.

I was thinking the other day how my late 1999 visit (so long ago, now!) to Leah and Gang in MD was the first time I ever really experienced the joy of being part of a happy and creatively sparkling social group (Circle L!), even for just a weekend. Perhaps it was the beginning of the end of any feelings of contentedness that I had as a Maine resident. I moved to Somerville just about a year after that.

Now I get to play the hmm, have I met these people? game with other people's friends lists again. Ah, LiveJournal. God love you.


Another positive book meeting today. I hit my editorial stride this morning, when I got up wicked early, like 8:30 am (!!!), which always fills me with energy. I love looking up from my work to glance at my clock and seeing a before-noon time. The trick will be pulling this off repeatedly, of course.

One week left before either the to-production date, or the prog-begs-for-another-weekend-cuz-he's-this-close-to-being-done date. All is well.

Working on the Book right now is like pulling teeth, again. Bleah. It will pick up later, but for now it's really boring and I feel very easily distracted. I need another long cafe hangout session to re-energize. I consider going right now (Diesel is open for another two hours) but I think instead I will collect information for the rest of tonight, and tomorrow morning start to process it over coffee.

Getting up at a reasonable hour is hard, though. This morning at 9:30 or so Carla woke me up by coming into my room to turn off my alarm clock, which had, she said, been buzzing for a long, long time. Then I fell alseep again and had dreams about her coming back in and berating me about various minor household issues. (Yes, I asked her about this to confirm that it was, in fact, a dream.)


Kristin is again asking for help in setting up a genuine Pop Tart Cafe at the next Arisia, but the major difference between this and the previous (obviously scrapped) attempt is that she's now doing so a year in advance! This makes it seem pretty likely that the boston-warren will score some local Looney action, after two years (at that time) of being together. Cool.

January, 2003. I wonder what I'll have to show off by then?


We're also a little over the halfway point to the 2002 Origins. Denis has taken charge of this one, and four of us are going, the way things are looking now. Heck, I wonder what I'll have to show off by then?

I can't believe Arisia is tomorrow. I admit to feeling a bit of trepidation, like I'm severely underprepared. Only a bit, since there's nothing for me to prepare, in reality, aside from following the orders of Fearless Warren Leader Cthulhia (this is not to imply that the boston-warren has just one Fearless Leader, if indeed it has any at all, but for all things relating to Boston cons she nonetheless fills the role very nicely).

The major similarity between this year and last year will be seeing my hero (even though I haven't communicated with him in, er, a year) Zarf again, and playing many many many games with he and many many other people, spreading the good Looney Lab news to all who will listen. The major difference is that I'll be there for all three days, I'll know people besides cthulhia (who herself is also a new person of a sort, in that she is a closer friend now to me than she was even just a year ago, when I, a trembling newbie to this whole area, spent the con clinging to her like a scared baby monkey), several friends from outside the boston-warren or either of the Circle Js will be in attendance, and I may actually attend some of the convention stuff outside of the gaming. Wow.

I'm still telling myself I'll be able to get some book-work in. Uh-huh.
