I fought the lag and the lag won. Have an open thread.

So 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!

Ever since hearing you tell the story at Wayward Coffeehouse in Seattle on July 10, I occasionally say "MIcrowave!" and crack up. I have had to retell the story to several people who were not fortunate enough to be there that day, and they too find it hilarious, but I know I am not doing the story justice. Is there any chance that you will record the story for release as an internet video or mp3 file? Or perhaps that someone has already recorded you telling the story (I checked youtube and could not find such a recording, though perhaps I did not think of the correct search terms)?
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!

I may someday? For right now, it's way too useful as something to bust out at parties and things like the Wayward event.
