If you happen to go to my main LJ page, you'll notice I've revised the long-out-of-kilter tour dates. I'll do the same for the main site and the MySpace site this weekend. If I'm up and moving like this less than two months after the accident, doing the house concert is gonna be a snap. And ConClave, OVFF, and Windy are absolute, set in stone, gonna be there baybeh. Any other fall/winter cons I should look into? I'm damn sure thinking of GAFilk again, I'm already scheduled for ChattaCon (the same weekend as ConFusion, sorry), and a couple of different Florida cons have caught my attention. (Again, sorry, not ConFlikt. They actually asked me, and I thought about it hard, but it would've involved driving from ChattaCon across country and up the coast in a hard travel week, and I just didn't know if I could guarantee it. But I will get up there, oh yes I will.) Tags: conventions

Clarion draws to a close this weekend, but not without further signs of weaselly love bestowed upon me. Neither gift was late; instead, *I* was indolent when it came to posting about the gifts. I can blame part of that on the fastidious disdain my computer bestowed upon my Blackberry for a while, but all is working once again. Week 4 was a perfectly-timed gift of chocolates from Polidori chocolates.  A dark chocolate fruit-and-nut barque, and amazing milk chocolate turtles, all special ordered and hand-dipped. They were delicious! It's embarrassing to admit, but when my sister was coming over I hid them so I wouldn't have to share. Monday of Week 5 began without a package, but I figured it could be a day late. In the evening I went to bec76's house for some belly dancing. As I came through the door, she threw her hands in the air and yelled, "Surprise! I'm Week 5!" To which I just stared in confusion. I was caught completely off guard. Then I realized: Becky is the one who hennaed Ferrett's hand (along with many other gorgeous designs that night) before he left for Clarion. I had wanted henna, but the evening got too late. Now I was going to get it! I sat down with pages of design suggestions and tried to decide what I wanted. I finally chose a traditional Indian frame piece, but asked Becky if she could possibly fill it with a totemic Raven. Fortunately, she is a cultural anthropologist, so we quickly found a design that pleased me. Then she went to work on my left forearm:  I absolutely love the design, and here, a week and a half later, it is still in lovely shape. Thank you both for the lovely work! I'm-a feelin':  bouncy

I know that a lot of you are either involved with, passionate about, or knows someone who is involved with pet rescue organizations, so I thought I would pass the word about the ZooToo Pet Rescue Sweepstakes. This sweep is open only to not-for-profit rescue organizations and animal sanctuaries in the US. The idea is that the organization signs up, and then gets people to sponsor them by registering and leaving a pet-related review. For every person who signs up, the organization gets an extra entry into the sweepstakes. The winners are drawn at random. According to the rules, the organizations eligible to win fall under the following definitions: "Animal rescue organization means a not-for-profit entity registered as a 501(c)(3) with at least one of its purposes being the adoption or the preservation of life of animals. The organization may focus on one breed or multiple breeds or types of animals. Animal sanctuary means a not-for-profit entity registered as a 501(c)(3) which takes in all types of animals with varying health conditions and may keep them their entire life. These groups may have a facility. Your organization must be located in the United States. Animal shelters, humane societies, and animal controls with a brick and mortar facility with professionally built kennels and cages do not qualify for this sweepstakes. Participants must be at least 18 years of age and a legal resident of the United States." The prizes are the grand prize of $10,000 cash, the first prize of $3,000 cash, and 14 second prizes of $1,000 cash each. If you are involved in a pet rescue organization, or know someone who is, please feel free to spread the word. I know a lot of organizations could really use this money.

This one is a general mix of clips, mostly from last season, and a few clips from this coming season which are not plot spoilers. The song is "Love Me Dead" by Ludo ("you're hideous and sexy!"). This one is a FOX promo, with all the attendant melodramatic voice-over crap ("but what House will do... is the BIGGEST TWIST YET!"), and it does spoil a plot point which is likely to be the focus of the first few episodes, but if you saw the end of last season, it's hardly an unexpected storyline. Also, icon. Very, very icon, in a dark way. This one has the same spoiler revealed in the previous trailer, but with a much lighter take on it. The song is "Wrap It Up" by Whitey ("GET EVEN!"). And again, I say, icon -- this time not so much dark as, well, fucking funny.
