I don't do well when travel is up in the air.

On the plus side, some things have been firmed up: Patty won't be coming to Dragon*Con due to comps (I suppose I should contact D*C and see if I can get her guest badge transferred to someone else), and I'll be rooming the Sheraton with

51stcenturyfox and

amand_r. No matter how much I try to get out of the Sheraton, it pulls me back in.

We've also agreed we should strategize Chicago sooner rather than later to take advantage of ridiculous cheap fares that sometimes pop up.

Patty will go home to Ohio at some point that probably overlaps with me being in the UK.

Hey, it's more than I knew for sure yesterday, and allows me to buy plane tickets, which will make me feel better.

As mentioned last night, Patty may have a lead on accommodations. Thoughts on Canton (Cardiff), anyone, anyone?

Last night Patty and I tried a new Indian place. Plus side: they totally made me something that wasn't on the menu. Downside: good, but no where close to UK levels of good.

debsliverlovers auction closes tomorrow at midnight. Get in there and bid. There's still some work by great artists for bargain prices with no bids. Also, someone please pass the word to George R. R. Martin's fandom about the Thomas Canty pieces that are up?

Some of us love the Torchwood tie-in novels. Some of us hate them. Either way, you might want to play with

retconbookwrite, a fanfic exchange for the Torchwood tie-in novels.

The

tw_itallchanges season credits are up. There will be one more post of DVD extras.

On Angel, glad the baby strategy was a fakeout, because I was like "jesus fuck Angel, if you're going to have the worst plan in the world, at least use a baby carrier." Also, poor Lorne. AND, I forgot to mention from Buffy yesterday, Loan Shark is Real Actual Shark. Wow. Cracktacular.
