But I can try to catch up.<\/p>\n<p>Really, I can\u2019t remember anything of Wed. and Thurs. I think I put hard hours in at work both days, and thus accomplished little besides con packing on Thursday. I\u2019m sure that when Roxy reads this, she\u2019ll remind me \u201cOh, we did these cool things!\u201d but they are gone at the moment. Con packing doesn\u2019t take me long at all any more, I\u2019ve had so much practice. I forgot one costume item that wasn\u2019t really all that important, and everything else was packed pretty lightly, all considered.<\/p>\n<p>The convention was amazing. Yes, I worked some of Saturday with Luna-C, but I was a lot less stressed about that than usual, in part because of the brain meds. My energy levels weren\u2019t what I\u2019d have liked them to be, which I will blame on recent stress. Still, I got to go to some great panels, enjoyed a fun Doctor Who tea with so many delicious sweets I almost made myself ill, and most importantly got to see friends from Hampton Roads I missed so badly.<\/p>\n<p>Saw Keith from White Plectrum again for the first time in years, and he wants to work on some new filk material with me. Hell yes! I need to find a lame excuse to put White Plectrum in a Managlitch episode. Maybe he\u2019d perform a MGCU filk if I wrote it. With all the musical folks I know, I\u2019m going to need a special concert episode at this rate.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a new Managlitch episode up, <a href=\"http:\/\/managlitch.com\/ep-018-sunbottom\/\" target=\"_blank\">Episode Eighteen \u201cSunbottom\u201d<\/a>. This is our New Year\u2019s episode, which is further evidence that time is different there. All this means is that I have to start working on Nineteen ASAP, since I have some fun ideas and want to ask some guest-stars to join in. There\u2019s a David Bowie reference in the episode which is either way over-subtle or way over-obvious. We\u2019ll see which it is. This time I made sure to give the episode a careful listen before posting: no more bad edits like Episode Sixteen \u201cWitchnight\u201d. I\u2019ve learned that lesson.<\/p>\n<p>And I need to go to bed, so that\u2019s all for tonight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lord Bitweaver\u2019s Journal, 18th of Colddark, 716 \u2014 Well, it\u2019s a good thing I decided not to feel guilty if I didn\u2019t journal every day, because Wednesday and Thursday night melted my brain too much to write anything down, and Friday-Sunday was MarsCon, when I was just too busy with stuff.
