EasterCon announcement

I won't be at this year's EasterCon.  It's a shame, especially as I was asked to moderate a panel on the Watchmen movie, but it can't be helped.  I do currently expect to be there next year though - so I'll hopefully see a whole bunch of you in 2010!

Next to each other on my friends list this morning

I know I'm not supposed to laugh

Julie was finishing off her tea this morning when I said something "funny".  I was very amused that the frown that appeared was visible all the way around the tea cup.

What I didn't realise was that the medicine she's taking, which is powdery stuff that's supposed to be stirred into water - well, she hadn't been thinking, and she'd stirred it into her tea instead.

Apparently this is not advisable.

Or tasty.

Just funny.

• Soccer - the source of all evil
  It's no surprise that the moral relativism sweeping across the globe has begotten outrageous behavior.... Watching a soccer fan effusively fling rocks and bottles at innocent players reminds me of cold-blooded abortionists and activist federal judges hurling stones at the preciousness of life. ... look closely next time you see footage of soccer fans gone wild. You'll be staring into the innermost depths of the world's soul.
