Wiscon
While at dinner last night with Steph and the Old Man, it was pointed out to me that memorial day weekend is THIS WEEKEND.
This knowledge took a deep moment to sink in while I stared at the calendar.
“I need to change my plane tickets, then,” I said calmly.
Because for some reason, I’d assumed Wiscon was always the last weekend of the month. Which it is… the last FULL weekend of the month. But my plane tickets had me leaving Dayton on the 30th and getting back on the 1st. Because I’m retarded, and not all that excited about going.
I managed to get the tickets fixed for an additional $86 (yes, my stimulus check is paying for Wiscon), and now I need to tell my boss I’ll be out of here THIS Friday instead of next, but all’s fair and good in love, war, and writing conventions, so that’s not a big thing.
I’m sure I’ll have a fine time, but man, I’m going to miss the weekend. I’ve been having a really good time.
And lots not even speak of the book that was supposed to be done by now. It’s full of suck, and I’ve been going through and pulling out great chunks of crap. I just want a fucking DRAFT, people.
After Wiscon, I guess.
There goes my expected buffer weekend.

One of Those Mornings
Man, I love my life.
I don’t say it often enough cause I’ve been busy, but it’s so damn true. I’m so happy with where I’m at, what I’ve done, what I’ve accomplished, where I’m going.
So. Damn. Happy.

Why Angry Women Are So Scary
“Usually when people are sad, they don’t do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change.”

Surely, California Will Fall Into the Sea NOW!!!
“Our state now recognizes that an individual’s capacity to establish a loving and long-term committed relationship with another person and responsibly to care for and raise children does not depend upon the individual’s sexual orientation, and more generally, that an individual’s sexual orientation like a person’s race or gender does not constitute a legitimate basis upon which to deny or withhold legal rights. We therefore conclude that in view of the substance and significance of the fundamental constitutional right to form a family relationship, the California constitution properly must be interpreted to guarantee this basic civil right to all Californians whether gay or heterosexual, and to same-sex couples as well as opposite-sex couples.”

Yes.
My life is mostly full of work and homework right now. And a lot of marketing considerations for GW, which I’m working on putting together with some other folks.
Also, there is writing in there somewhere. And Chipotle.
Sorry things are so quiet. At least, for once, it’s a good quiet.

I Wouldn’t Have
And neither would have my brother of the burst appendix or my sister of the Cesarean section.
We do forget this sometimes.

On Offer Tonight
Tomato pesto chicken rolls (rolled in parmesan cheese instead of breadcrumbs; parmesan is my substitute for all breadcrumbs) and fried carrots with garlic, rosemary and thyme.
Yes, I’m getting myself off the last two weeks’ “I’ll just go out to Chipotle/order in pizza because really, my check is coming!” mentality.
