seanan_mcguireSo my "take four days to recover from jet lag" plan appears to have been a good one, except for the part where it wasn't actually long enough, and I am still passing out at inopportune moments. In the kitchen while making lunch. In my desk chair while writing. In the theater while watching Resident Evil: Afterlife (because the T-virus is apparently soothing unto me).
I need to take a shower. I'm afraid I'm going to drown.
So here: have an open thread. Talk about whatever, post whatever, do whatever (although it would be nice if you could keep the Campbell congrats on the "I won the Campbell" post, just to make them easier to answer). Do not expect prompt replies, as I may be asleep. If you do not see activity from me for twenty-four hours, I have drowned in the shower, and the cats have eaten me. I expect it will take them a week or so to figure out the LJ interface and begin posting.
Game on!

Date: 2010-09-12 04:44 pm (UTC)Also, it lets me do random things like page my friends to check on lines from a book for me and accidentally get the author herself. ^_^ Or mention, "it'd be cool if Gail Simone did a four-issue mini-series on Elita One's crew" and have Gail Simone @reply me to ask who Elita One is. ^__^

Date: 2010-09-12 07:07 pm (UTC)His response was as follows: "I did read about this book when it was just coming out and it looks ideal for examining a new stage in the evolution of the zombie as a pop culture icon."
Yay Seanan! I hope the jet lag eases up soon.

My house needs to be cleaned. Massively. Sigh. That probably means I should step away from the computer and begin tidying.

Date: 2010-09-13 01:47 am (UTC)Just posting this to taunt the people who haven't read it yet. Nothing really like that happens.
Maybe.
I have other questions about AAN, but I'd rather ask them in a thread dedicated to discussing the book completely, where I don't have to worry so much about spoilers. (Like the one I (maybe) didn't reveal above.)

Date: 2010-09-13 12:38 pm (UTC)My life is very sad when I consider waking up at 645 for the main day job as being sleeping in.
BUT! I have coffee, and I have interesting discussions on disorders (such as why people are willing to burn pedophiles but turn a blind eye to geriatric abuse and neglect, despite the fact that it is about 9x more prevalent, and certainly just as revolting to molest an old person as it is a child), and I have a lot of overtime this week because the business hasn't totally taken off yet. And the spousal unit is quitting his job on Wednesday (with buffer money!) and someone has to maintain continued employment Just In Case.
It's also far too early for me to be posting random shit to anyone's LJ.

Date: 2010-09-18 09:28 pm (UTC)My parents are always asking what to get me for Christmas, and it would be great to tell them - "Go to this website, spend $1 via paypal, and I will be able to listen to Seanan tell the MIcrowave! story over & over, and even share it with you!"
Now, I'm off to digest your lyrics about the Black Death, and probably add Return of the Black Death: the World's Greatest Serial Killer to my Shelfari reading list. Thank you!
