Scheherazade in Blue Jeans

Administration
Hello to new readers dan4th and lifecollage!

Medical
The usual. The exhaustion is such that I wouldn't have come in today had I not missed most of yesterday (the ultrasound was uneventful, as such things are). I really need to nap today. I didn't all last week, I think. Bad 'song.

EDIT: CT scan rescheduled for Monday at noon (come in at 11:30).

Arisia
We have our hotel room for Arisia! Quiet block, because while I can sleep through a punk band practicing in the next room (and have), Adam can't so much. :) If you're going to Arisia, reserve your room now!

I need to decide how many panels I want to be on, make my commitments, and write my damn bio. *decisive nod* And design ribbons for the Gimp Squad, which is apparently Arisia-official now, and the Kilt Inspection Team.

Shooting Star #6
techempage, your comic came back as undeliverable! Please e-mail your address to me at gmail.com.

Has everyone else received their comic?

NaNoWriMo
Nothing yesterday due to much-needed R&R and Getting Shit Done (Thanksgiving, $WINTERHOLIDAY, and Arisia planning), but hey, epiphany. I shall get my ass back in gear today.

Hi!

Quoting theferrett:

The final stage of the 8 Hunks of Hanukkah is up! You now have a hundred and two pieces of beefcake to look at, but only eight will make the final cut for the extra-special photo shoot.

1) Go to http://www.theferrett.com/hunks/hunk_register.php and create an account with a valid email address. (If you've been reading this journal, you know how much I hate spammers, so don't worry. It's just to prevent bot abuse.)

2) An email will be sent to your account with an activation link. Click on the link to activate your account and log in.

3) Once you're logged in, go to http://www.theferrett.com/hunks/hunk_gawk.php to look at the nominees and vote. (The photos have been thumbnailed to 7k extravaganzas, but you can click on an individual's photo to see a larger image, if he's provided one.) You can vote for as many Hunks as you'd like, but only eight will be chosen for the extra-special rundown.

4) After you've voted, go to http://www.theferrett.com/hunks/hunk_gawk_tally.php to see how your guys are doing!

And voting will likely be very sloooow, as I expect my server to get hammered for a bit. If you wanna help, and you should, link to the index page as opposed to the page with all the pretty pictures.

Go! Vote! Have fun!

Voting runs through the end of November. The eight top-scoring Hunks will then have til Christmas Eve to get me their additional pics so I can post them during Chanukah.

Pass this on!

Posted the part that blindsided me; I didn't think I'd be going there. But I listen when they talk. *nod*

Added everyone back to nanosong that requested it. And placesyouhaunt and writerbrain, too.

What's posted is another flashback to the dawn of time. What I wrote was that, a conversation between Jeramie and Olivia, and a bit about Alanna's reaction to the news of her mother's death - but my brain's too tired to do that justice, so I'll continue it tomorrow.
