Turns out I'm a dweeb

pjthompsonAnyone who's read more than a couple of these blog entries probably figured that out already, but I'm confirming it anyway. I recently said to someone, "LosCon is only about five miles from my house. I'd be a dweeb not to attend."
It's this weekend. I even bought a membership. But here's the thing: I'm tired. I haven't had serious downtime in awhile, and I'm so looking forward to serious downtime—some sleeping in late, some reading, some writing, some playing with kitty wooboo, maybe assemble the étagère I bought, tear down the lopsided cabinet in the bathroom, put the étagère in its place...that sort of thing. And I really would like to find the sofa again. I haven't seen it since about Worldcon, I don't think. Most of the crap they gave me in the con package has been laying there since, as well as accumulated crap from other sources. And kitty wooboo is not amused. It's gotten so bad I even covered up her favorite pillow. She looks accusingly at me. I am shamed.
So, yes, I'm a dweeb.
Poll redux: After posting yesterday's poll I realized I'd forgotten the most important ticky option of them all:
If I became rich and famous I would...
❏ ask myself, "What would Oprah do?"
(Not a real ticky, but an amazing simulation.)
Random quotes of the day:
"We may not pay Satan reverence, for that would be indiscreet, but we can at least respect his talents."
—Mark Twain
"Fiction holds a tremendous amount of truth, and of course that's one of those lovely ironies because it's all made up. You tell lie after lie till you get to the truth."
—Connie Willis, interview in Locus magazine, January 2003

Whatever you end up doing, I hope you enjoy your day.
