I take my sense of accomplishment where I can get it.

Today I have:

-- registered for this year's VividCon.  I even shelled out to pay by PayPal so that I don't forget to mail the check like I kept doing last year.  Now all I need is a hotel room and a plane flight and, oh, possibly a second job at this rate.

-- finished my TPM zine story.  Again.  Maybe.  Okay, wait, I just remembered something else.  Never mind.  Oh, and I still need a title.  Hate titles.

-- gotten halfway through the first book of the Coldfire trilogy.  Loving it so far. Despite C.S. Friedman's unnatural love of sentence fragments.  Am antsy because three of my very favorite fan authors have written Coldfire stories that I can't read yet.  Only about 1400 pages left to go....

-- walked to the mall transit center for exercise despite having severely underestimated the blustery wetness factor.  Can I get extra activity points for wind-resistance?

-- had french toast-flavored oatmeal, which is the best thing ever, and I don't even like french toast.

But I have not yet squeed over the fact that the new series of Battlestar Galactica debuts here tonight!  Wheeeee!  I've been downloading the episodes as they aired in the UK, but now finally everyone will get to see it, and we can all talk about it.  We're going to talk about it, right?

BG! Here! Tonight at 8! SciFi Channel! *g*

The new Lowdown special is at 8, I believe, and then the episodes start at 9. I think they're showing the first two eps back to back.

Eeeeeeeee!!!

Yay!!!!!!!! More time with marzilla!!!!

Now all I need is a hotel room

Umm, our sofa bed will still be available at no charge at that point. Heck, we might even have a guest bedroom by August! Otherwise, if you want to stay at the hotel to avoid the drive, we'd probably be game for a roomshare to save costs.

BTW, did we mention that we're staying in Chicago? I accepted the faculty position here!

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

Though I already said this in IM, I'll say it again -- yaaaaay!! I'm so glad you're staying in Chicago (i.e., within easy flying distance *g*).

[kestrelsan.livejournal.com]

Yay for BG! I have been antsy all winter, waiting for it :).

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

Me, too. Even with downloading it, I still want it to air *here* so it can have a real fandom. *g*

What's "Coldfire", precious?

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

It's a trilogy of fantasy/sci-fi books by C.S. Friedman. Damien Vryce is a warrior-priest and Gerald Tarrant is an ancient evil sorcerer whom Damien has sworn to kill. Just as soon as they finish their quest together. Or maybe later. Or maybe they'll just snuggle, instead.

Muchas gracias.

These sound lovely. I'll see if my local library has these. Then, off to the fanfiction. Or were you "looking" for fanfiction...at any rate there ought to be fanfiction.

There's fanfiction. Not a lot of it, but it's by good people, so it should be quality, at least. It's over at the yuletide archive (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org) when you're ready for it. *g*

Should be definitely :) Wonderful news - if you get a mail bounce from either Emu or me, by the way, it is because our domain name is acting like a random trampoline. Just resend - try the email addy I stuck on the TPM Songs list :)

Weee! Cori story!!

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'd noticed the springy effect of your e-mail. *g* Still no title, but you'll get it soon, I promise.

[jenlev.livejournal.com]

yes, wind-resistance should count. :)

er, i love oatmeal..so what/where for the french toast oatmeal? it sounds very good indeed.

and mostly, a squeee about bsg, it was wonderful and beautifully done. wheee!!!

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

It's a new (?) flavor of instant oatmeal from Quaker, and it's very yummy!

BSG!! Eeee! I love my show. :-)

[jenlev.livejournal.com]

by the way, the icon you used with this post is a thing of joy and beauty. imagine me checking my email during lunch and falling on the floor laughing. so damn married indeed. heres the bugs and daffy version made by the wonderful kixxa *bg*

[pollitt.livejournal.com]

I have to wait until tomorrow to see BSG. *sob*

There are definitely points given out for wind-resistance!

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

Awwww! Waiting always sucks. Especially for the pretty of Jamie Bamber. *g*

[pollitt.livejournal.com]

The co-worker ended up not being able to bring it in! I'm still lacking the Jamie Bamber viewing. I am in mourning ;/
