2. Texas was gorgeous, and College Station was amazing. I realize the state's unusual weather meant that it was basically all dressed up for my West Coast eyes—it rained for several weeks before my arrival, so everything was green and covered in wildflowers—but first impressions matter, and my first impression was "This place is gorgeous." Definitely an E-ticket of a state.
3. Midnight Blue-Light Special has been turned in to The Editor, which means I can focus on all the other things that I'm supposed to be writing right now. No, it never ends. Which is also kind of awesome, even if right now, all I want to be working on is InCryptid. Stupid muse and her stupid laser focus. Oh, well.
4. Thanks to trusting the travel gods to see me safely home on Sunday, I managed to upgrade my two flights in coach to a single through flight in first class. Let me tell you, first class is a nice way to fly home. Also, there was free digital cable on the flight, so I watched Jennifer's Body, Zombieland, and Pandorum. Awesome, even more awesome, what the fuck were these people thinking.
5. Also on the topic of first impressions, thanks to this lingering cold, College Station's first impression of me was "scratchy-voiced, foul-mouthed, evil pixie." I can definitely settle for that.
6. Tonight, I do laundry; tomorrow, I pack for Emerald City Comic Con. Because it never really ends once it begins around here. I'm super-excited to see my Seattle family, go to my first ECCC, and hug Amy Mebberson lots and lots. My life is empty if I don't hug an Amy once a month. True fact. And my beloved Amy McNally went home after Consonance.
7. The cats are filled with hate, because the suitcases will not go away. I begin to fear retribution. On the plus side, their "retribution" usually takes the form of sleeping endlessly atop the objects of their annoyance.
8. The new Monster High characters are starting to ship, and my local Toys R Us is once again seeing me two and three times a week as I check in, looking for Rochelle Goyle and the basic Jackson Jekyll (he previously appeared in the beachwear line, Gloom Beach, which means this is the first time he's been available with all his accessories). Luckily, I have a tolerant mother, and tolerant friends.
9. For those of you in the UK, I have a column in this month's issue of SFX Magazine! Or, well, Mira does. I wrote an article about why The Stand is a classic and you should read it. US folks, you'll be able to pick up the issue next month. I'm really pleased with it.
10. Jean Grey is still dead, zombies are love, and the Great Pumpkin watches over us all.

You know, you put these two statements next to each other and you're just tempting fate.

My last three were Transmetropolitan, InCryptid...and Glee.
As I said at the time, I can sort of see A&B working together, and I can absolutely see B&C together - I just know Kurt is a "Dance or Die" fan - but all three together just makes my brain hurt. ;-)

#7 Sad to say, nothing but rain for the next week or so. Emerald City is going to live up to it's name. And then some. Bring rain boots, an umbrella and possibly an ark. But on the other hand? Warm enough not to snow. :D
#8 Can you bribe the cats? I would be happy to offer tributes to them. And at least their retribution doesn't involve claws. Which Roarke's often does. *eep*
#10 Zombies are always love.
Hope you are feeling better and Enjoy Emerald City Con.

I would have liked to have made it to Aggiecon, but the work gods have not smiled upon me so far this year so paychecks have been a little thin.

I finished uploading most of my CDs to my new iPod, so I can listen to your albums wherever I go.
Have fun during convention season!

You mean like Dorothy & Kimba here?
Which has led to my current nubby fabric-covered suitcase looking like something newly reclaimed from Hurricane Katrina. Steve's hardsided one permanently resides standing upright to the left of his PC desk when we're home because it is Heidi's (in icon) favorite petting perch.
