christinex1001I think I drove my car to the closest it's ever run out of gas today. But I did manage to limp it into the Arco by work...only to have the #$@!! machine reject my ATM card. Thank God I actually had cash on me for once. (And no, the balance in my account had nothing to do with it...the stupid thing was just being ticky for some reason.) Normally I wouldn't have cared over-much, except that I had been hoarding my cash to go out tonight, and now I have to find an ATM somewhere around here before I head over to my friend Kim's for the evening.
It rained this morning...I love lying in bed and hearing the rain dripping off the eaves. Unfortunately this lovely cool weather is going to be replaced soon by nasty hot dry Santa Ana-ness, but I'm enjoying myself while it lasts. I was actually able to wear boots this morning. I never thought I'd get sick of seeing my toes, but I'm very tired of sandals. I want to wear REAL clothes again.
Strange dream last night. I went to seelogospilgrim, whom I've actually never met, but she was out running an errand or something, so her father and I started chatting about something or other. I thought I'd help out by doing some of the dishes (like I don't do enough in real life!), but then her father wanted to ask my advice on something and took me to a room in the back of the house where all these people were congregated. Turns out her father was a voice teacher, and he told me I'd been neglecting my voice for far too long and stuck me up on a little platform/stage with a karaoke machine and told me to have at it with some Phantom of the Opera music! Guess this is what happens when you go to bed w/o eating anything except a piece of bread because your stomach is acting up....
The funny thing is, I actually was researching karaoke machines on Ebay yesterday because I want one for my Harry Potter party. We really wanted to do karaoke at Worldcon, but oddly enough there are NO karaoke bars near the Anaheim Resort. Fascists. Renting the equipment is quite expensive, so I figured I'd just buy a halfway decent unit and start stocking up on some fun music. Come on, who doesn't want to see Professor Snape singing "Do You Think I'm Sexy?"?
Inner debate. Do I put an author photo on the back cover of No Return or not? This is tough for me because every freakin' photo I have of me is in costume. My friend Darren thinks I should use this one:
...but I think that's a bit much. It was taken ten years ago, and besides, how much of a Christine fangirl do I really want to look like? (Although I have to admit that's about my favorite picture I've ever had taken.)
Gack. One hour and I'm out of here.
