On the road again...

Having just returned home from Reno, Land of Cigarette Smoke and Strobe Lighting, I am now preparing to board a big metal skybird and soar away on wings of science to scenic Columbus, Ohio, where I will be appearing at Context as their Horror Guest of Honor. Well. Mira will, anyway, and since she doesn't have a legal photo ID, she has to let me come. Ha ha, evil twin. Ha ha.

I am, perhaps, a little less excited about the idea of taking another road trip than I could be; last night, my dreams centered almost entirely on my having forgotten to buy a plane ticket to England, and being forced to run hither and yon in an attempt to make it to the airport before I missed my flight. Parts of the dream actually took place in England, with a strong undercurrent of "if you miss your flight, you won't have been here, and the ensuing paradox will destroy the world." Because I'm not overly inclined to take responsibility for things or anything...

The cats are not entirely happy about seeing the suitcases come out again. And by "not entirely happy," I mean "they have transformed into an unstoppable feline murder squad." If I stop posting and no one knows what happened to me, the cats will have removed all the bits I use to do things other than catering to cats. I will probably deserve it. I will, after all, have left them again. (Thankfully, after this, I have no more long trips away from home until December. A few weekends, but nothing longer than that. This may be what saves my life.)

If you're in the Ohio area, Context is going to be amazing and fun, and I would really love to see you there. I fully intend to be so amped-up on sugar that I can't see my toes for at least twenty-four hours, which is always a good time, for everyone involved. And I can sleep on the plane. Which is a wonderful thing, to be sure.

Here I come, Ohio. And I am demanding frozen treats.

I had no idea we had so many cons; Marcon, OVFF, and Context.

And you're going to need those frozen treats (unless we end up Hurricane Irene leftovers and it rains the whole time). The weather finally realized it's August and cranked the heat back up.

It was hot yesterday but it was wonderful today. And watching the Weather Channel it's suppose to be wonderful all weekend low to mid 80s all weekend and 60s at night. Awesome sleeping weather!

I was seriously thinking about going to Context until my car decided to stop dead in its tracks in one of the drive ways into the Polaris shopping mall last Tuesday night. Thankfully it is not "dead" dead but may be reanimated tomorrow. I'm just hoping that it doesn't cost a small country's GDP to do it.
