Not drowning, but waving

* If you’ve ever wanted to see me act like a total goober in real life, real time, now’s your chance. The esteemed and exuberant Jim Hall at Cult Pop interviewed me and the remarkable Jim Hines at Penguicon, and you can click here to see it. If I seem a little spacey … I apologize; I was working on about 4 hours of sleep at the time. But Jim is absolutely amazing — so sincere and wild. I just loved him to pieces. He does wonderful interviews, and he has a deep, real enthusiasm for speculative fiction. I recommend him most highly.

* The mighty and powerful Jeremy Lassen is in town this weekend, and I was delighted to play tour guide all day today. Thursday night Aric and I caught him for supper, and today I picked up the fabulous Lassen for sightseeing. We did Volunteer Park, the Pike Place Market, and the Underground Tour, in addition to several food-type interludes. Later in the day we were joined by Mark Teppo, who kept us company for the Underground Tour and afternoon noshings. Mark, for the record, is hilarious. Put him and Jeremy in a room together, and just add liquor. INSTANT PARTAY.

* Spain the Cat continues to be just fine. She spent 24 hours sulking after her vet’s visit, and perhaps not feeling terribly well due to the booster shots; but in case I didn’t make it 100% clear in my previous post, she’s not sick or anything. This was a routine, “Oh, your cat is 8-9 years old now and needs routine checkups” exam. She is, as far as anyone can tell, perfectly healthy. She gets quite a lot of love and attention, she’s very well socialized, and she’s quite well behaved.

The truth is, we’re not totally certain how old she is. When we adopted her in 2002, we were told (by the shelter, and by her subsequent vet) that she was a young adult, about 2-3 years old. So we sort of tell ourselves that she’s a millennium cat, born New Year’s of 2000. It keeps her approximate age easy to remember, anyway.
