Ordinary stuff and beyond

[kinzel]

Yes, we have a day lily count for today:

4, bringing us to a seasonal 46.

Elsewise, the day is gray and looming with fannish things to do -- while most of you are thinking worldcon (as I am -- my travel vest is about half-packed right now & I *found* that compass!) we're also working on program plans for the TGNESE (see here: http://www.thegreatnewenglandsteampunkexhibition.com/ )which is barely 6 weeks away.

We have a guest article/blog post we need to take care of before Worldcon (that is, we really ought to write it by Tuesday. If we don't mention it by Tuesday, will someone job me on it? Thx.

Did you see the article about salt water beaches on Mars? Me neither -- but I saw this about salt water syrup there -- http://lightyears.blogs.cnn.com/2011/08/04/mars-may-have-salty-water/?&hpt=hp_c2

So far, after Chattacon (next January) we have no absolute scheduled cons for next year. Next year's cons will depend in part on discussion we'll have at Reno -- the question is how much time out can we afford to travel in the current writing and economic climate. For the last few years, other than worldcons, we've mostly depended on GoH gigs to help us travel.

More later...

Well, since the moon has been shown to not be made of cheese (someone did a spectograph of it and it's definitely not cheese), perhaps Mars is made of salt-water taffy.

I still think that the Martians are just hiding the real Mars from us, they really have canals and green princesses...

Oh, good, someone else went for the salt water taffy, too. Maybe we can set up concession stands? Come to Mars for the Taffy of your life? Plenty of flavors, and one world-shaking kaBOOM in every box?

Isn't that a Barsoom in every box? Forget "feed the world", our slogan can be "eat the world".

Actually, that should have been a seasonal 48. Tyops ... and i even had coffee in my hands. so i can't blame lack of.

Coffee in your hands doesn't make it easy to write. Coffee inside you[1] is better, or even in a cup *g*.

[1] You, not me, I can't stand the stuff either taste or smell. My loss, I gather, but since I also have to be carefull about caffeine intake (it boosts my metabolism and I burn off blood sugar and go hypo) it's just as well that I'm not tempted.
