Morning Gone. Where? I don't know....

[j_cheney]

Well, I woke this morning with a headache, and faint migraine symptoms (didn't actually have a migraine, just the visual glitteries). I suspect this is due to either a) lack of caffeine or b) tropical depression gusvtav arriving in Oklahoma. Either way, compounded by the mist falling outside, I didn't go jogging.

I went to B&N instead hoping to find a copy of the most recent Locus, but no joy. Probably Thursday or Friday, I was told. They evidenly don't track their magazine shipments at all. I'd like to see it because a) there's reportedly a pic of the WOTF ceremony and b) July Fantasy Magazine was reviewed.

(More on each)
A) I just want to know how the pictures came out. I managed to get in the middle, where my overlarge form should have been mostly hidden by those below me.
B) Don't know if my story even got mentioned but I was curious, especially since mine appeared at the last moment of the last week of July. No mention is better than a bad mention, though.
ETA: If you've seen it and it's bad, don't tell me...

The foundation I like is being discontinued. Figures. (Insert eye roll here) I managed to score a couple more bottles at Target at 75% off, though. Won't have to buy foundation till next fall.

And finally, my less yard-industrious neighbor now has a child of the green monster lurking in their front beds, overgrowing their climbing roses and annuals.

Ha--that means I should see you in my next copy of Locus :)

Yes, I'm the large woman in the middle. I wish I could have gotten my icon to stand in for me then...

Hey! No fair hiding the corset and the gorgeous skirt! >:( You looked fantastic.

Sorry to hear you're still not feeling up to snuff. Did you get over the workshop crud, finally?

It never even occurred to me to look for Locus at a bookstore, even B&N - is it stuck in with the fiction magazines, or where? I think I'm going to have to finally pony up for my own subscription, though.

Our B&N keeps it with things like Writer's Digest, under 'literary'. I hear the Borders carries it too, but I can't honestly say that.

The only reason I don't have a subscription is that I hate the on-line payment option. I've tried to purchase past issues before, and have never gotten them....so I'll probably try mail-in.

This headache is almost definitely caffeine related.

My ears are 70% better, but they'll annoy me for about a month. It's a particular weakness of mine, and when I used to travel a lot, I really dosed up on Sudafed. So the con crud is pretty much gone.

Hey! Your B & N carries Locus?

I haveta head into the big town to the only Border's that carries it. Not at the Border's nearby, no-way. Guess I'm heading there tomorrow.

Had migraine symptoms last night when I went to bed. Mine were the kind usually related to weather changes too, and heaven knows we need the rain.

We need the rain also, so I shouldnt complain!

Too bad about the foundation! I hate it when something I like gets discontinued, and it happens all the time. I'm like an anti-bellwether for if something will succeed.

Me, too. I think we're just too far outside the norm. ;o)
