Tonari no Internet

Translation: Internet next door.

Julie Rose: Writers and their Soundcasts highlighting Mark Teppo and Mandy Roth.

I would like to tell you that I am already for Portus, and I worked on writing and sewing last night, but let’s be honest here. Jet lag and convention living caught up with me. I went to bed at 8:30 pm and got up at 6:20 am. I even skipped the gym.

I do, however, feel somewhat less drained. Those time management vampires have, in fact, been fanging around my temporal arteries, so I got nothing.

Actually, over at the other journal, I got travelogue for Hiroshima.

Tomorrow, then, is full of possibility. So is today.

Good Bye, World Fantasy

I just can’t justify an almost $900 ticket to Canada after our Japan extravaganza. On top of that, no one to share hotel with. The trip would be a huge amount out of pocket.

So, unless there’s some sort of Alberta miracle, it ain’t happening.

Which means I’ll hit our local Icon for a day, and run away before Bryon and Steve have their Hammer party.

Which also means I’ll take a close look at Potlatch in February. I have an international ed conference earlier that week, though, so it might not be the smartest idea I could have.

If this is the only place I have to start budgeting, I’m grateful I’m doing so well, given today’s trying economic times. My only regret is all the lovely people I’d meet. At this point in my career, it’s not a necessity, however, and I’ll be pragmatic.
