Getting close to panic time
Less than a month now to Lisbon and my (*gulp*) 20-minute talk. A talk that I still haven't really started preparing for.

A Plea
Dear Weather Gods,

At the exact moment that I tried to add Jacqueline Carey to my list of favourite authors on LibraryThing (by clicking a link on the author's page), the entire LibraryThing database crashed. Er... oops? -

Jacqueline Carey

Interesting
On the day same day that I find myself making (surprising) tentative plans for a Reading Week getaway to Las Vegas, they're having a freak snowstorm. Perhaps this is a sign?
