muggy evening.

It seems that when thomascantor is away, I tend to 1) get mildly depressed, 2) watch bad tv, and 3) gleefully malnourish myself. Is it just the effect of having someone else in the apartment know what I'm eating that keeps me from living on Cheez-Its and malted milk balls?

God, I hope not.

Went to Williamstown for too short a time -- got in last night, returned today -- but got to see a few people and, most important, hear thomascantor in concert. What's more, my family stopped in just to hear him on their way back from NH to IN. Yay!

One thing that I've learned in the last 48 hours is that I don't get to Williamstown enough. There are too many wonderful people there for me to stay away like this. Now...how do I fix this?

On a side note, I've noticed what's probably a good trend. Three of the last four rejection letters I've got have been from the head editors of their respective publications rather than the assistants. That's good, right? Right?

And now, a few useless links.
Many of these were posted earlier on different places, so ignore them and pardon my lateness if you've seen them before. I tend to catch trends just on the tail end of them.
Spam in Middle Earth. No, not hobbit enlargement. From the blog Electrolite.
cincodemaygirl posted this a while ago, but I like it and wanted to pass it on.
Same for this, which wdalphin posted like months ago.
And then there's Satan's Goal. Enjoy.

It's true you aren't here enough. You fix it by showing up more often; bussing when you have to, but trying to hitch rides when other people are going in, and then arranging to try to see multiple people in town at once. It's how I visit Boston, though I'm not great at seeing many people because my trips are usually one night only.

Very good to see you while you were here though. And Woe Is Me, the Pratchett-con is on the weekend of my sister's bat-mitzvah, so familial obligations prevent me from attending the otherwise perfect opportunity. Alas, alack, another time.

Yeah Toast!

Yeah Toast!

Hm. I see I'll have to plan my weekends more effectively this fall.

Hi! I just friended you, and then thought, "She'll never know who I am," so I decided to comment as well.

I'm Debbie, you met me this afternoon at osirusbrisbane's. Mystery solved, panic averted, all is well.

Also, thank you for the link to Satan's Goal. It's extraordinarily silly, which means I like it a lot.

You're welcome! And thanks for letting me know who you are.
