lots of stuff

first -- my flight is booked to Phoenix Rising!

Continental Airlines $223 with all fees (I could have got it cheaper, but I really need to fly non-stop or I'm deaf for days, as it is, the odds of my being able to actually hear anyone until sometime mid-day Thursday are pretty low).

Wed, May 16 07:10 AM to 09:39 AM
Newark, NJ (EWR) to New Orleans, LA (MSY)

Mon, May 21 02:40 PM to 06:51 PM
New Orleans, LA (MSY) to Newark, NJ (EWR)

My mom is really fascinated by this entire trip. She's unclear about why there would be a Harry Potter conference, but thinks it sounds like fun. She had her shoulder cancer surgery thingy yesterday and it was pretty bad -- 3 hours of surgery and 3 hours of reconstruction. They got it all though and she should be fine, but she's out of work on dissability now for three weeks and she's bored. I suggested (in one of those brilliant moments of not thinking) that she should learn to use the Internet. Wonder how long until she starts reading Snarry, righto?

My father, meanwhile, having dawdled over the proofs of his bible for months (since there are lots of new people -- short summary: My father has written his own version of the bible and is self-publishing it. Whatever questions you have, my answer is probably, "I don't know!" although you're welcome to ask), finally submitted the final version and the physical object should be available for purchase in about 3 weeks. Religion is very complicated around here, kids. For the record, I try to stay as far away from this wacky project as I can, but it's the quickest way to get across "no, really, my family is actually weird" to people.

I used my cobalt blue glass bottles for the first time today. I thought it would only be funny to me. No, it's funny. Maybe, if I didn't habitually move the way I do and extend my pinky like I'm drinking tea it would be less funny, but probably not. Hillarious. Well cool, I get a giggle with dinner instead of bread.

I, meanwhile, am now going to have a watermelon ice for dinner and start the next chapter of Descensus.

Thanks for the information! It seems like registration must be going slow - I would have expected there to be many more siged up by now; I guess perhaps many people wait to register.

I think it goes in fluries at various points. Life is slow right now. Peopel are coming back from Lumos and assessing their budgets, and there are three big events next year to choose from. I am sure it will fill up, but I don't expect the big rush until December.
