10:31 am - It's really over now So, right on Feb 2 I went out and bought Doctor Who, the Complete Specials. I didn't rip right into it, because watching the series together is something me and my geeky Fictitious Husband share. He had some busy nights, so we didn't get to crack open the hermetic seal until Saturday night. Although it was killing me not to do so - I had not yet seen "Water of Mars" nor part two of "End of Time" (we don't get BBC or BBC america here and downloading from the internet with two home officies is more trouble than it's worth. I got the other 2 specials on dvd for Christmas, and happened to be in States for "EoT Part 1")- I was okay waiting to watch. Why? Same reason I didn't want to fly through my Firefly dvds, and that is, when I'm done watching it, it's over. ( but I was dying not knowing! ) And now it's really over.... :( WAIT! Dvd extras!!! David's video diary! Okay then- I can carry on a little bit longer! Current Mood: discontent Tags: david tennant, dr who, dvds, geek

11:49 am - CONfirmed Ni Hao! I've been busy scanning the airline web pages trying to figure out the mystery that is best air fare rates. So far, I'm losing. ANYWAY, I'm doing this because of the six cons I decided to work this year, I'm definitely in for four of them. The are, in timeline order... Norwescon. I'm working this big con on my own, so if you're in the Seattle area and planning on attending, please be sure to stop by the booth! And bring food ;) FilKONtario. My filk related merchandise will be in the interfilk bazaar being sold by the wonderful FKO volunteers. I'll be around the con itself actually taking part! Yea me! Confluence. Returning to my home town with a full FFCB booth at this great con. Come to the 'Burgh and see all the new shinys I have! Dragon*Con. Back for our 3rd big year! A full FFCB booth and the release of Browncoats:REDEMPTION Why would you *not* be there?!??! (psst: there will be more than a few shiny BC:R items available at the Firefly Cargo Bay booth in the Marriott dealers room-- BOTTOM floor!!!) Also on tap, but not confirmed are Balticon with wonderful author GoH Tanya Huff. I should know by mid-March if they're letting me in the dealers' room. I'll post when I know for sure. The last con of 2010 will be hopefully, SFContario. This is Toronto's newest scifi convention and looks very promising. They do have a music track and this should be of note to Browncoats in the area because we are working on (hush hush now--) BARDS WITHOUT BORDERS DEUX!!!!! That's right, ladies and menfolk, we're planning on getting the Bedlam Bards back through customs for music and mayhem! Hhmm.. and now that I've just broadwaved that I guess I really HAVE to make it happen now.... Well, I've never been known to be one not to overstep boundaries!

09:36 am - And the Song Remains the Same... ...and so does the weight. This is report day one of our little 30 in 5 experiment. I get to report in at a big ol' goose egg. Zero. Zip. Nada. Zilch. I lost no weight in the past week. :-( I am not too dramatically upset about it though. I was actually expecting worse. See I do the Wii Fit body test early in the week and on Tuesday I was 2 pounds HEAVIER than I'd been the week before. So actually showing up at a zero of weight loss today isn't so bad. But I'm still doing the treadmill at 3 mph and an 8% incline for an hour every other day and an hour of Wii Fit (yoga, strength and aerobic, and training plus mixture) on the alternate days. So hopefully next week I'll have a better number to report. Current Mood: disappointed Tags: -1.5, goals, life in general

02:37 pm - he killed my ma, shot my dawg, and stoled my bible Dear Writers of "Castle", ( a rant about last night's episode ) The only thing I liked about the episode last night-- "Do you know why I chose you for the inspiration for my book? Because you're tall." I guess I just wasn't in the mood for it all, 'eh? Current Mood: pissed off Tags: castle, rant, television

01:41 pm - Motivational Post My sister kinda brought this up on facebook, as she stated she wants to lose 30 pounds in 5 months. We worked that out to be 1.5 pounds a week. To help her and me and anyone who wants in, we're starting a motivational post. Tomorrow morning anyone who wants in should record their starting weight somewhere (don't have to post it of course, unless you want to.) Then every Friday morning we will all post the amount of weight we lost over the week. The goal is -1.5 every friday morning. I think this sounds a lot more achievable than 30 pounds and will help keep us all motivated. If you're interested, make a note of your weight tomorrow morning and lets all become less of a person each week! Current Mood: optimistic Tags: -1.5, goals, life in general

09:59 pm - Show you support the cause! Please put this on your status if you know someone (or are related to someone) who is an idiot. Idiots affect the lives of many. There is still no known cure for stupidity, but we can raise awareness ...... 93% wont Copy and Paste this, many because they're too stupid to know how to copy and paste. Will YOU make this your status for at least one hour? Current Mood: silly

03:57 pm - So I'm Looking into Flights to Cons ...because I'm not going to one until April and I need to plan for it to keep me from looking out the window at the snow and feeling the cold and the blahs.... and well, actually, truthfully, because I'm anal and need to have all these things taken care of way in advance. ANYWAY, I'm looking at flights for various cons and I see there's one really really cheap non stop one with one free checked back and first class seats for coach fairs! I was just about to book it when I saw that the other seats were purchased by parents of 50 tiny babies and scientists from the cancer institute. I did not buy the ticket! Okay, no, none of that really happened. :-) But I am going to Dragon*Con and Norwescon and FilKONtario and MAYBE Confluence and Balticon and probably SFContario anyone else?

06:47 pm - Well, That's Time I'll Never get Back The Fictitious Husband is on the phone now waiting for NWA customer service. Why? Because I booked my flights to and from Seattle for Norwescon online about 3 hours ago. First, I went through and chose the flights and did the math and went to book the perfect times. And then the site said it wasn't available and I should try back later. I went back to the home page and did it all again (because it wouldn't let me go back to the previous page). Then when I was purchasing the tickets, it asked for billing address. It discovered I was in Canada and booted me to the worldwide pages... and erased all the information I had put in the second time. So finally I got it all done and paid for. Then I find that in all the confusion, I scheduled myself to come home a full day too early!! I want to leave Seattle at 11:50PM their time to get me back in Toronto at 10AM the next morning. Instead, I put in what I thought was a better time flight but now i have discovered that I put in 12:30 am on the Sunday and get me home at 9 am on the Sunday. (I just overheard him say something to the person on the phone about the $200.00 change reservation fee! YIKES!!) He's on the phone because he deals much better with things like this than I do. I would let him book my flights in the first place except he's a horrible procrastinator! Me, on the other hand... I rush through things, I guess. Turns out he was just being "funny" about a $200.00 fee and she says she'll charge us nothing for correcting the mistake (except for the $29.00 difference in ticket price.) *whew* Current Mood: pensive Tags: business, ffcb, travel

12:47 pm - We're IN in Seattle! Just got the word today that FFCB is confirmed for two tables in the dealers of Norwescon33 in Seattle April 1-4. And can you guess what I'm going to say...? Yep-- SQUEE! Now... I will post more about this later, but for the moment I'm looking for someone to help me work the booth, as my usual lackey will most likely not be able to make it. You will need to find you own accommodations, and transportation, but membership to the con is covered. Let me know if you're interested. Current Mood: excited Tags: cons, ffcb, schedule
