Ooooookay. Update time.

[hmpf]

I've just finished catching up with my friends list (I had a backlog of some 200 posts...) and then, to make catching up with my friends list an even more difficult task in the future, friended a whole bunch of people from the brumscifisoc because, well, basically, they had friended me, and I thought it impolite not to friend them back. Although with some of them I'm still not quite sure who they are... (That's an oblique way of asking you guys to introduce yourselves to me, for those who didn't get that. ;-))

Actually, I'm kinda scared now - suddenly, there's loads of people reading my LJ who I actually know in Real Life. That's... kinda creepy. ;-)

Well, what else is new?

1.) I've sold my soul to these folks:
http://www.eastercon.com/concourse
That is to say, I volunteered to talk about Farscape. (What else? I'm a one trick pony.) Why do I keep doing this to myself? First DortCon, now this... At least DortCon was small!

At least I'm not going to be completely alone there - I just found out that BiFi, of the SFCD (http://www.sfcd-online.de/), is going to be there as well, so at least there is *one* person there that I know (and know I like)!

2.) After a few days of slacking - and slowly getting all kinds of neglected things done - I'm now beginning to feel ready to get back to doing something constructive again.

3.) I still owe selenakan e-mail and feedback. I also sort of owe dunkle_feuer and ballyharnon feedback. These three mails/postings are actually near the top of my To Do List at the moment. Finally.

4.) Going to meet my parents in about a week! Wheeeeee!!!

5.) TBFC7 is only a few weeks away! Wheeeeee!!! *g* (Wanna participate? Go here:
http://fstreffen.allabouthmpf.com
Wow, we've been doing this for three years now.
Oh, and Scapekid is going to come, too! International participation! How cool is that?!

6.) I'm still happily exploring comics. Next on my To Buy List are
- Téhy & Béatrice Tillier: Fée et tendres automates (http://www.ventsdouest.com/fee/home.html)
- Alan Moore: Watchmen
- Schuiten & Peeters: Les cités obscures (http://www.urbicande.be)
- Jim Woodring: Frank (http://www.jimwoodring.com)

Plus everything Carla Speed McNeil has published that I don't own yet. (http://www.lightspeedpress.com)

Plus the second volume of this:
http://www.ravenschildren.com - I bought the first volume recently, basically on a whim (it didn't cost a lot), and although I'd say it still has some teething troubles - for one, it's very confusing, and I'm *not* easily confused by complex tales - it looks quite interesting. And now that I've read the first half of the storyline, I really want to know how it continues!

7.) The next few weeks are going to be convention time:
9.-12.4.: Concourse, Blackpool
23.-25.4.: TBFC7, Bad Neuenahr
30.-3.4.: Collectormania, Milton Keynes
7.-9.5.: Mini Tolkien Get Together, London
Think I'll be able to actually revise for exams besides all that?

So, by request;
I'm Helen - otherwise known as: the SF librarian; the scary ninja; that girl beating up on >insert name here<; etc, etc.

And I think I saw you in Cafe Connections last Wendnesday... I reconised the jumper as you were walking out. Sorry if you walked right by me, but too much makes me, um... unobservant? *cough*
