I did get the room sort of cleaned up last night, and a grand total of 3, count them, 3 hours of sleep. Meh. And then dozed on the bus a little, and totally crashed on the futon here for a few hours before dinner.

I'm still at andrea's house--it was rainy when we got home from her work, so we're going up 'first thing' in the morning. by which I mean leaving here ~10 or 11. :) I got up 'first thing' in the morning today, which alas was 5:45. Well, that's when my alarm went off, and i hit snooze, and then turned on the light and hit snooze again to keep from being very very bad. But I caught the bus--me and my super big suitcases. Busy busy bus this time, and so freaking slow. I was nearly an hour late getting into Newark, so I didn't make it to andrea's until nearly 2, which was okay because a) she'd already gotten me lunch, and b) her boss was apparently Mr. Crankypants today, so this way I only had to spend an hour and a half in the lounge as my punishment for reading quietly in her office while she did work things.

It's okay. I finished reading one of the FSFs I brought with me. I'd had a stack of magazines at home, and I mean to read them but I never actually do, so I threw a few in my box and in my backpack. I read Pictures at an Exhibition, by Irvine, and he's still in the running as a spare celebrity boyfriend. mmm, I love his stuff. Still love Rossetti song the best, I think, but this was good. He writes the sort of SF I like writing--not about the science, about the people dealing with the science. mmmm. Loves that boy, I does.

I also started "The Best a Man can Get," a british boy novel (like chick lit, only written by a boy, like Nick Hornby or what's his face with the Perfect Skin), which Mike recommended back in Clarion times. Very good thus far. I'm...less than half way through, I think.

Tomorrow it's up to Boston. I think I'm meeting Amanda (

cissa), and then going to Dena's house. And Saturday is the cabal dinner, where I get to meet the dictator, and see Cara again (they all do have ljs, but I'm too tired to remember them, and my butt's falling asleep from sitting on the floor in andrea's bedroom to write this, so bah on you all, it's not like you were planning on checking them out anyways.) And then Andrea comes home and I'm in Boston until I go broke or Dena kicks me out. Or, maybe, I get a job and money and find an apartment, and get my cats back. I miss them already. (well, sort of. I miss their sweetness. I don't miss their craziness.)

Hmm. I can't think of anything else to babble about now, and I skimmed through the websites (go Jer, lead story in P4.), ooh. Forgot to check J-walker for Say... news. And I can't actually find it, so I'm hoping I can make it there through Toby's site. Whee! Found it. Blast them and their no-news though!

Email me if you'll need my new address when I get it.
