Things are happening. We're getting read to go to the vintage picnic thing on Governors Island with Patty, her mom, Marci and more.

Things for you to look at soon from Bristol conference. Timing of this being really nice, since Patty got the ten minute "you know, I finally took a break from this for a few days and whether it was for this, this, this or this reason, I feel so much better for doing so and am ready to look at it again."

Maybe, maybe, I will have upcoming appearances info (mainly D*C schedule, possibly also something NYCC related, and possibly some other stuff) this coming week.

I may also have finally found some solidity to my thoughts for the chapter proposal thing I need to write by Sept. 1.

Yesterday afternoon was so bizarre on Twitter I'm besides myself. A bunch of us were nagging JOhn Barrowman to come to Gally and then bodlon showed up in the middle of it to be all "I'm drinking bacon vodka out of a shark." Twitter isn't normally that funny, but this was HILARIOUS.

Facebook grapples with death.

The nightmare in Apt. 9B.

One thing that struck me is that everyone but the trans daughter was referred to by first name. She was consistently Ms. Wells. That may be a style thing -- everyone else is a Cheney -- but that kept sticking with me.

It's a New York Times style thing. People are to be referred to by titles and last names except where this prevents differentiation. Ms. Wells has to be addressed that way because of teh style guide; the others are referred to by first name due to lack of other non-confusing option.

Gotcha. I figured that might be it, but the context made me wonder.
