Portrait Of The Artist As Overscheduled Lass

[stillsostrange]

So far today I've written 1600 words, and mostly connected the narrative to the Next Big Thing. Now I have to figure out the next Next Big Thing and get there. Somewhere in between all of the following:

• Climbing tonight and at least one other night in the next week, so as not to be a large and moving Torb at WFC, or in general


• One (1) signing tomorrow night


• Three (3) concerts over the next week (KMFDM, the Pogues, and a local band I like)


• One (1) dentist appointment


• One (1) hair appointment


• One or more shopping expeditions so as not to look like a bum at WFC (when I'm not wearing my new jacket, that is)


• One or more shopping expeditions so as not to look like a bum on Halloween


• Sixty-four (64) hours of work between now and next Wednesday


• One (1) World Fantasy Convention

You will note that cleaning the house appears nowhere on this list. That is not because it's already clean, I assure you.

I'll be keening and rocking in the corner if you need me.

Wow. That is the most amazing jacket that I've ever seen.

That is Quite The Jacket.

That jacket is awesome. I hope it will appear somewhere other than this year's WFC (since I'm not going to be there).

And woot for concerts, even if they do take up precious time.

Yargh, hang in there!

And keep an eye out for nathan_long at WFC; it's his first time.

I'd invite you to the Halloween party I'll likely be having, but I'm pretty sure there are going to be way more interesting things going on at WFC itself.

(and the jacket is splendid!)

Gorgeous jacket. I'm umming and ahhing over what to take, as I have to think of long air flights and allowances, and of being appropriate... The marquis can't come, so that means no corsets (I can't get them on alone, and I'm not staying on site anyway) but do I bring the long blue lace dress (http://www.witchcraftshop.co.uk/images/items/004357.jpg)? Or maybe the greeny-purple one (this colour, but the style has changed -- my version is mid calf and has a different bodice with front and back lacing: http://www.bethreadoriginals.com/fly/m_11.htm)? Or do I play good girl and dress conventionally?
Don't tire yourself out, though: that's a lot to get through in a week.
