Check your freezers! Ground beef recall.

You can still help the fight for marriage equality in Maine. If you are a Maine resident, you need to vote. In fact, if there is a local election in your area today, please be sure to vote. These elections tend to have very low turn-out and its how extremists get weird referendums passed and anti-science people onto school boards. It's always good to vote.

What makes an American? Or, let's watch people be anti-immigrant racists about the guy who just won the New York City Marathon.

There's been another arrest in the Richmond gang rape.

Amazing environmentally friendly alternative to a converted van for those who use wheelchairs. Of course, it just seems to be in Europe right now, and the top speed is relatively low (so no going on a highway with this!) but it looks great for getting around a city.

Asperger's as a vanishing diagnosis.

This guy was almost Han Solo. Works for me. Check the smile.

Who you share a hotel with can be why cons are often unexpectedly funny.

Look, I saw this on 5251962's journal, and now you need to know too, just because: Bats have oral sex.

DAVID TENNANT, YOU LEFT DOCTOR WHO FOR THIS!?!?1?!!?!?!??

The things I learn on Twitter: there are lesbians on the 90210 retread.

hughcasey has an alert for the dino-obsessed!

Missing Sky Harbor baggage found.

IN CHICAGO. I WAS THERE. I HAVE BEEN TO TERMINUS, PROPHECY AND LUMOS.

JESUS WE ARE TWO SHIPS PASSING IN THE NIIIIIIIGHT.

THIS IS SO WEIRD.

Are you going to Infinitus? I think I am, after a year hiatus from these.

Also, not only was I at Terminus, I was at Terminus with a bad attitude and wandered around with redstapler and marchek cosplaying Jack to their Ten and Ianto. I had long hair then, so it was perhaps less effective, but OMG.

JESUS. YOU WERE ONE OF THE PEOPLE THE BAPTISTS COMPLAINED ABOUT.

I mostly hang with the snarry peeps when i go, because I don't know anyone else, though I try to go to panels and papers that I'm interested in.

Haahahahaa, I dunno. I'm doing D*C with the Foxay next year, and so that might be my big thing. Infinitus is in Orlando, and I have NO DESIRE to return to the land of hell. It's too soon for me.

I'm still waiting to hear on my Guest app, but I'm assuming we'll be back at D*C too. Infinitus I'm doing in truth because my publisher wants me to, but I'd like to get some of the HP mojo back.

Terminus: we got stuck in an elevator with TWIN stewardesses. I was dressed like Jack. redstapler was waving her sonic screwdriver around and then I blurt out "I can't tell you what I'm thinking right now."

Oh those poor girls were so scared of us.

THERE IS NOTHING IN THAT STORY THAT ISN'T MADE OF WIN.

You should come as a guest! You're an author! A published HP author! MILK IT, BABY!

I always give papers at HP cons, but I've never been a guest. I'm not important enough in a world with Melissa Anelli, and that's fine.

I've been a guest at D*C for the last two years, so I'm assuming that all will happen again for 2010, but until the contract's in hand, nothing is in stone.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the one time I want to D*C it was as a guest, so I didn't miss that 75 bucks it cost Tianyu. Haahahah. Sucker.

arsenicjade has given a few papers at HP cons. I like attending the papers. I think my favorite was still the one about Harry being Guy Fawkes.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Oh that's cool, I should have gone to that. I've become sort of an ass at cons I'm working and largely only get to the shit I'm on or shit people I know are on. Part of that, really, is that I'm more and more there to see my friends when I'm not working.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I recall having a lot of free time at Lumos. I also sit in the back and make snarky notes in my notebook about postmodernism.

GATORLAND!
