List of Things

Thing 1: Still gathering donations for this year’s Walk for Fidelco for any of you interested and most generous folk. I very much appreciate any amount you may wish to give and kindly direct you to this here webpage where you can do so. Alternate information is given there for those of you not wishing to utilize a credit card. And again, thank you.

Thing 2: Next weekend is the inaugural Empire State Book Festival and I am so very excited for this. There are a bunch of really great panels throughout the day (which has made picking what I want to go to very hard). Also, Gregory Maguire is the keynote speaker and he’s doing a signing straight after. So, you know, I’ll totally be there with my copy of Wicked. There’s a literal ton of authors, illustrators, publishers, and other assorted writerly folk in attendance, though, personally I only recognize a handful. Still, a group of my local Nano’ers are planning to go, so should be super fun. I can’t wait.

Thing 3: Registered to attend Albacon. Doesn’t really make up for not getting to go to Dragon*Con again, but maybe it’ll start a trend of me not having to cancel my convention plans. Please? Anyway, have never been to this tiny sci-fi convention, but it’s right here in Albany (thus the clever name) and there’s one full day devoted to a Writers’ Workshop. Not to mention, I like that it’s a very small con since it will be Yara’s very first. So, really, how can I go wrong?

Thing 4: There really isn’t a Thing 4 because I need to skedaddle off to meet a friend for dinner. Sorry.

March 27, 2010

Apparently my life has been pretty dull of late. Except I’ve certainly been busy. Just not in any capacity that feels interesting enough to blog upon. I think this is one of the pros and cons of Twitter. I’ve never been much for blogging every single day — and when I’ve forced myself to do it in the past I usually end up with really random (read: boring) posts. But sometimes there’s just a quick thought or some fleetingly interesting snippet I want to share and for that Twitter’s pretty handy. Unfortunately, that also leaves me with the dilemma of not repeating myself between this blog and Twitter . . . not to mention Facebook!

Anyway, I’m biding my time until May when Yara and I head off to CT. I’m especially looking forward to this vacation since I didn’t end up getting to go to Lunacon as previously planned. And, I recently found out, for the third year in a row I won’t be able to go to Dragon*Con either. On, the brighter side of things, I’m thinking of going to Albacon in October and in about two weeks there is the Empire State Book Festival! Other than that, the only big thing happening is Yara’s yearly this Thursday, my father asking me to read a book for him for school which he then subsequently finished on his own before my order was delivered and the fact that my mother randomly called me this morning. Oh, and I renewed my lease even though I have almost zero desire to stay here, but I haven’t found anything much better and with only a month left I didn’t want to chance it.

So, as I was saying, there really isn’t all that much to babble about here at the moment. I leave you with a cute video of Yara at work from the other day:
