I am a Hero
The moon demons showed up last night and tried to turn the moon into caramel candy. But I played loud techno music at them and it disrupted their spells and chased them off.
For the first time, Rising Star was an out-of-town con for me! Thanks shrewlet for crash space. I have to say that the con seemed to go swimmingly from my perspective – every attendee seemed to have a good time, and no staff member melted down in my presence. Nicely done, rattrap! Next year I’ll bring more and cooler Decipher stuff.
I had fun in nius‘ skit, though watching the video yesterday, I was struck with a sense of “Did I really do that?” Hey – it got a laugh. Wonderful thing, stage buzz.
Packet-sized Hail
All Hail The vileone!
Celebrate another year of his cursed existence!
And All Hail madwriter also because I’m a bit behind on birthdays!
Those winters get cold
… I sure know a lot of people born in August, September, and October. 🙂
Happy birthday, eeedge! (Pronounced “eeee – juh”)
Lame wishes to you both
Happy belated birthday to jlfranklin and nius, who are remarkably alike in that – ahhh… they, uhhh… both have birthdays.
Ahem.
Props to our Peeps
I want to thank everyone who’s helped us out with the move this weekend… it was a draining pair of days, but would have been frighteningly worse without you all.
Major props to shrewlet and rhaps, who stood by us both days and slung a lot of boxes; not to mention that Rhaps’ truck-driving experience was absolutely invaluable.
Nick P., Courteney, Nick V., Meg, and rattrap – you made three flights of stairs seem like not that big a deal! I’m so proud that, at the storage unit, we managed to appall someone with a dirty mind and a sick sense of humor. Only we freaks 🙂
Tom, Dwight, Dave, and Jodi made unloading go three times as fast as loading did; now we just have to spend until MarsCon unpacking all these boxen.
And special thanks to silver_hawke, who’s put in a lot of work at the Salem end, both at the apartment and providing sanity checks to raininva. We did have to explain to the Norfolk crowd what you wrote on the boxes you packed. 🙂
Finally, apologies to vond and kittenchan – under other circumstances, we’d have tried to help out. At least we wouldn’t have stolen so many potential assistants.
See many of you at Rising Star!
More random-selection meme sheepage
I wasn’t going to post this one, but the answers did make me giggle:
I already knew she wasn’t dead
Congratualtions kittykatya on another year of succefully converting oxygen to carbon dioxide! Long may it continue!
Another not dead guy
Congratualtions on continuing to put oxygen to good use for another year, jdunson!
Cargo Transfer
Moved more boxes last night – woke up quite sore! I cannot wait until electric power is back on at the new place and I can turn on the air-conditioning! It’s 90-100 degrees in that house, even after sunset. Naturally, I’ll be finishing the move from my single room before I get power back – so all my toting must be done in the heat, and preferably before dark. On the other hand, at least any folk who help us on the big move from the Salem apartment will have air-conditioning to enjoy.
It’s been weird enough living in a rented room with 2-3 roommates I rarely see. For a couple weeks, I’ll be living completely alone in a 3-bedroom house. I expect I’ll be playing lots of music to add some life to the place. Actually, for the second of those two weeks I’ll have the kitty with me – that will help.
Tonight I hope to catch up with Tom. I need to burn a CD of MPEGs for him.
