Bullet-points of busy.

* Busier than God.

* Remember, this is a paid LJ, and emailing me is way more likely to get a response than sending something to my LJ inbox. Also, if you send something to my LJ inbox, you'll eventually get a response that includes a cranky request that you not do that anymore. Don't make me cranky. You wouldn't like me when I'm cranky.

* Maine Coons + fun with physics = hysterical win. Lilly observes Alice in her attempts to conquer gravity with an expression of amused disdain, like "I was never that young, that puffy, or that stupid." She's right on one out of three counts.

* DucKon is coming up faster than a runaway freight train bearing down on an innocent young heroine tied to the tracks by a dastardly villain with a curly mustache. I am not ready. I am never ready until my plane leaves the ground, so I'll land in Illinois totally prepared, but right now? Right now, I'm not ready.

* As soon as I get past not being ready for DucKon, I have to start not being ready for the San Diego International Comic Convention. Where I am going to be a professional this year. Me. A pro. At Comicon. Did I mention that I think I may have sold my soul at the crossroads?

Did I mention that I think I may have sold my soul at the crossroads?

I could be wrong, but it's my impression that you've been too busy to have had time to sell your soul.

Selling?

[seferin.livejournal.com]

I thought she was buying, wholesale, which was how she was so productive.

Can you elaborate?

A Siamese would never be that puffy, like a Maine Coon is.

Re: Selling?

[seferin.livejournal.com]

I meant the physics part. Is she trying to fly? Climb walls?

Re: Selling?

[dornbeast.livejournal.com]

I think that means that Lilly has been as young and as stupid as Alice. Puffiness being a particular specialty of Maine Coons, Lilly is right about not ever having that puffy.

Alice was trying so very hard to put Mr. Happy Dangle Fish back in his natural position, ie, "dangling." She was basically sticking him to the wall with one paw, letting go, and then looking utterly distraught when gravity kicked in and dragged him down again.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

That's entirely possible, I must admit.

San Diego. Pack your machete for the crowds. I'm just saying.

Oh, believe me, I know. I've attended eight out of the last ten years.

[wendyzski.livejournal.com]

The beds at the Duckon hotel are very comfy, and the ConSuite has laid in extra DDP in anticipation of your visit. All shall be well.

[technoshaman.livejournal.com]

Happiness is a well-stocked con suite.

[mariadkins.livejournal.com]

Could someone please tell that to the HyperiCon folks? plzktx! :) Just saying!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Gooooooooooooooooood consuite. Wiiiiiiiiise consuite.

[wendyzski.livejournal.com]

I am also reliably informed that while there is a 7-11 a mere 4 mile walk away, there are also grocery sources within a block or so of the hotel.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

YAY!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I twitch a lot.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Luckily, I don't wear much makeup.

[jongibbs.livejournal.com]

Shame on you. No one is busier than God.

Except, of course, Mrs. God :)

[mariadkins.livejournal.com]

ROFLMAO

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

My apologies, Mrs. God!

I've never been tempted to get a Maine Coon before...

And I'm still not, because I am enjoying yours vicariously. :)

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Enjoying mine vicariously is probably a lot better for your sanity, all things considered.

[janeg.livejournal.com]

Well, of course you sold your soul - how else could you write so well and so much? But you have lots of friends on the dark side to get your soul back when you want it.

[technoshaman.livejournal.com]

I met the devil in a field
I said, "Oh, finally! Did you bring my contract?"
And the secret he revealed
is he waits for no one, and he's never made a single deal!

You are fabulous! Don't worry.

Wish I could be at Comic Con with you!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

So do I!

Apropos of nothing except my having the link handy, here's Noel Clarke (Mickey from Doctor Who) pimping his new *zombie comedy movie* "Doghouse." Discussion of the movie starts around 1:40. Sorry, no zombies in the clip.

SQUEE!

Remember, this is a paid LJ, and emailing me is way more likely to get a response than sending something to my LJ inbox.

You can control who can do that, including "nobody" - though I don't see it documented in the FAQ, I do see it when I edit my profile. http://www.livejournal.com/manage/profile/ - under Contact Info, the third option.

Yay cons! Yay hysterical kitties!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Oh, awesome. Thanks for the tip!
