Cobra!! Where have you beeeeeeeeeen??

Busy week at work and then spent the weekend putting hive equipment together, feeding bees, and watching the Olympics.

You know, normal stuff.

What you mean... you've been... having a LIFE? In the REAL WORLD? What do you want to do that for?!?

 

[CobraMisfit]

Fan. Tastic. Definately worth the effort.


Apparently I missed some epic verbal tennis between you and BW.

Oh, you know, to pay bills and prevent starvation. Until the movie option for my NY Times best-selleing Self-Help/UF/PR/Humor novella gets picked up, of course.

Just the usual. I taunt him, he tries to resist the taunting, I threaten to take away his candy and he gives in.

I thought the honey was to prevent starvation?



Anyway, ION, I just read this, by Diana Joseph (no, me neither, but it's funny). She's on the phone to her dad.

During these conversations, my father has spoken with great authority and discussed at great length matters I can’t begin to comprehend: investments and annuities, bonds and interest rates, the Fed, the Dow Jones, and the stock market, which I always hear as the stalk market. I imagine a small creepy one-room office across the river and in the questionable part of town. It’s where I’d go if I wanted to hire someone to keep menacingly close tabs on someone else.

It's raining again. I think I must have really offended Angel earlier on.

Hey, Cobra, did you see the rain during the ladies cycling? That's what the UK is really like.

You mean you can't live on honey and wishful thinking? WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO.

 

[aliwood]

Does one file a book by Ice-T under I or T?

Or elsewhere?

ETA: Do you suppose that some people wishing to be pleasantly rude refer to him as Mr T? thus creating total confusion.

I want candy.

Knew what that link was before clicking.

It goes a long way to keeping us alive...

Duuuuuuuuuuuuude.

It was a great race, though.

I know, right?

I want candy.

Heh. All bands should play on the beach.

I wouldn't want to get sand in my oboe.

Painful

I'm watching the Olympics tennis match right now and trying to resist the urge to go buy a tennis racket. I played a bit in school but haven't touched a racket in years. Its a really fun sport, I wish I hadn't stopped.

Maria Sharapova is a beast woman!

I'm going to take up tennis again next year or so. It's fun

Yeah, tennis was the only sport I was ever any good at, or ever really bothered with. Football, rugby, basketball, cricket, rounders, etc? Couldn't care less. But give me a tennis (and by extension badminton) racket and I'd throw everything I had into that.

Also fencing... although not proper fencing, more like just sword-fighting with sticks. Same basic principle.

ION: My inner-hypochondriac is having a freak-out right now because I can't seem to stop shaking, especially my hands, and some part of my brain is terrified there's something that's gone terrible wrong with me...

 

[Fenika]

Ah, you folks make me smile.

CM, I was wondering when you'd show. This morning I went hunting through the yellow squash for fruit. There were tons of fresh blooms and thus tons of bees going round and round in them. I kept parting leaves and they kept sexing up my plants and buzzing and there was much rejoicing. Summer ftw.

 

[Fenika]

RA, whatever your hypochindriac self is saying, there are lots of possibilities. Calmly make an appt tomorrow to see a doc.


And in happier news: The snarky instructor is still pissing me off but I wrote down some stuff I learned when I did some insructing yesterday. I realized I managed to do a lot and come up with lots of good mini lessons. Soon I'll be teaching on my own

FTW fer sure. I'm always glad to hear that bees are still able to find food going into late summer.

Sexin' up your plants......love it!

Hey everybody! I can't figure out where else to post this, so if it lacks spontaneity, humor and mystifying plot recoils, all I can say is 'whimper!' So Worldcon is coming up in a scant month, and I'm going, God willing, and the editor who has three of my mss says she's going to be there. She even told me where the easiest place to find her would be. It is also probable that her editor (who now has the first mss of the trio) will be there. They work for one of the NY houses that publishes some of my favorite Sci-Fi. So the problem is that the usual vagaries of self-esteem and behaving in unfamiliar environs makes me cautious of seeking them out. What if they don't like me? No contract yet, so what if they like the mss but think I'm a slob? Okay, just portly then? I'm generally well mannered but what if I contrive somehow to show my butt? I've been enjoying the anonymity of writing and sending mss out into the ether, but the prospects of meeting these folks is causing orifices to clench.

 

[bettielee]

good morning everyone... last night was bad... like really bad - thefirst bad night I've had since being here. I blame the ice tea at 11 pm. What was I thinking?

Today is AWritein.... I'm going.... I'm going now....

First of all, I dunno you, but *HUGS* - You'll be fine! Second of all, not very many of my fave fantasy authors are stick thin. In fact, I can't think of any right off the top of my head. Third, they like your books enough to want to meet you! Woo! Fourth, if you're anything like me at a con, go see them very first thing. I don't keep well at cons... Crowds do my head in and plus walking around, all hot and boxed in by Klingons (mmmm, Klingons... I mean... Whatever...), and I'm not looking my best 4-5 hours in. Hurrah! You can has editors and meet them!

Also, everyone: Fez has obviously missed you! He won't stop headbutting my hands while I'm typing, so I can only assume he wants me to say hi. So, hi from Fezzy! Silly kittycat...
