Off To MillenniCon

One of my favorites. All kindsa wonderful folks, including John Scalzi and Moifa. And I get to see Christy and Doug and Grant, and Pat, and I hope Kit and Josef and Aidan (who's getting taller every time I frickin' see him), and I think Larry Smith and Barb Van Tilburg, and I know Juanita Coulson and braider and huskiebear and janet_coburn (at least on Saturday) and peachcat001 and....

What are your weekend plans?

2009 Hugo Nominations

Read 'em and rejoice. Especially John Scalzi, up for Best Novel, Best Related Book, and editor of Best Dramatic (Long); Charlie Stross, Best Novel; Mike Resnick, Best Novelette and Best Short Story; and matociquala, Best Novelette and one of the writers of that Best Dramatic (Long) that Scalzi edited; philfoglio, kajafoglio, and howardtayler, Best Graphic Novel; and shsilver, Best Fan Writer.

I have an odd, forlorn hope that Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog would win Best Dramatic (Short). Ain't gonna happen, unless the BSG and Who eps split the vote. I have an even more forlorn hope that The Dark Knight and Iron Man will split the vote so that Wall•E wins Best Dramatic (Long). (Sorry, John, Liz. It would be WAY COOL if you won, but I don't see it happening.)

Thoughts?

Special Comment by Teh Keith

Greedy bank-stards.

Six Years

Since the previous occupant of the White House launched his illegal war under false pretenses.

Since a hideous amount of money started being spent on said illegal war.

Since the first of an obscene number of people were killed, crippled, or wounded in said illegal war.

Stop the war.



ETA: The first site I'd linked to, stopthewarnow.net, is apparently anti-Israel, which offended at least two people. I seriously didn't even notice; I saw that it had a decent and easy-to-find compendium of links to other anti-war sites. I am so not taking sides on any Arab-Israeli issue, except the side that says All Of You Knock It Off And Quit Killing Each Other.

Assembly Line Concert Webcast

Starting tomorrow at 5:00 p.m. EDT. (I do hope they update the main web site. Never mind that I'm not listed in the bands yet -- I only just signed up the other day -- but I know that they offered me time on Days 11, 12, or 13, and it still says it's only a 10-day event.)
