A Random Conglomeration
Sep. 26th, 2009 07:23 pmHere's stuff I'm thinking about.
* I've downloaded Series 2 Episode 1 of Merlin. Haven't watched it yet.
* I had to tape Heroes because it was opposite House (and had to download HIMYM and Big Bang Theory!) The sitcoms were good, as always. House less so, but that should improve next week. Haven't watched Heroes yet.
* Had to tape Bones to watch Flash Forward. FF was okay, interesting. We'll see. Haven't watched the second Bones yet, but the first was not that terrific.
* Castle was more interesting than the episodes of it I'd caught previously.
* Speaking of.. the Emmys were made of awesome. NPH should always host. Hodgman should always announce. Except, of course, when they're busy winning awards for being awesome.
* There's stories I keep meaning to write and never actually sitting down to write.
* I now have a couple of reviews I mean to write before I completely forget the books I've read. (Hunger Games and Parrotfish. Both awesome.)
* I do mean to organize our Clarion class such that we can get a scholarship together.
* I've procrastinated even deciding to go to WFC. Lots of cool people will be there, but it's coming up on the holidays and I'll run out of time off. It's across the country, which makes it more annoying to get to. It's the height of swine flu season, which makes me wary of picking up any sort of airplane or con crud. WFC is also sold out at this point. But.. all these awesome people will be there! Auuugh!
* I meant to write a post about all the awesome stories at Strange Horizons you should read, but I haven't gotten around to it.
* I'm taking 2 classes this semester, so any extra thing to think about or do makes me stress out. See, trips above, also add, doctor's appointments.
* Need to get a flu shot. I get a free one on October 15th, but should think about getting one sooner. If it fits in with my cheap and lazy lifestyle.
* Need to do more laundry and clean my room.
* Need more money.
* Starting reading Dan Brown's piece of cr-- I mean, long-awaited tome of secrets. Contemplating writing a play-by-play review of that. And it doesn't even bother me that more awesome reviewers, writers, witty people may be doing the same thing. Because I'm still awesome and witty and Dan Brown already ticked me off with his comment about transgender stuff.
What needs plugging? Last Drink Bird Head edited by Jeff and Ann Vandermeer is a charity anthology for literacy charities and is full of stories by awesome people. Some of whom are Clarion classmates. Are the stories awesome? Well, they must be!
Oh, oh, and did you see the lineup for Clarion 2010?! It's right here! It's Delia Sherman, who is awesome. Jeff and Ann Vandermeer are team-teaching the last two weeks (at least, I believe so). And, they, are also, awesome. I must confess to not knowing who Dale Bailey is. Probably my loss. And then they got two people called George R. R. Martin and Samuel R. Delany. Whoever they are. I expect there will be some sort of beard competition. Polish up some stories so you're all ready to apply in January!
