Yesterday was a long, good day. Day Jobbery went well, even better than normal. We had a terrific Open Dinner here in Austin, with @dratz, @itsaJuliasaurus (a/k/a Mrs. @dratz), ![[info]](https://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=1)
stillsostrangejess_ka , E—, sophielandon and Mr. sophielandon . I got to talk with everyone but E—, to whom I regretfully didn't even manage to say good-bye.
Afterwards, we rolled back to chez @dratz where I wound up interviewing @StevenBrust and Skyler White on camera.
This was a cold interview, from my perspective, in that I hadn't known I'd be conducting it until about a minute before the interview started, and I'd done none of my usual interview preparation. Nonetheless, Steve and Skyler were gracious and cooperative interview subjects. Oddly, I went to bed feeling a bad attack of imposter syndrome post-interview. That's mostly a measure of how tired I was, given my usual bullet-resistant writerly ego.
Now I'm heading back to Portland, rather underslept and feeling more than a bit behind on my writing. The latter is not in fact true, this is just my psychotically persistent writerself talking, so I'll be fine. After lunch withmlerules , I'll be working Day Jobbery this afternoon, then photographing the_child 's lacrosse team, and spending the evening with her. More Day Jobbery tomorrow and (hopefully) lunch with kenscholes . Then off to Detroit on Thursday.
I do owe a couple of blog posts, time and mental focus permitting. Among other things, I want to document last Saturday's cheesefest at Paradise Lost II.
Also of note, a dream from a couple of nights ago. I was watching television (in my dream). It was a nature documentary about a family of manta rays that had adopted a kitten. That was all very sweet and adorbz until at one point in the documentary, the manta rays turned on their kitten. As they began slashing at the animal, taking bites out of it, I felt the stinging, tearing pain of each bite in my body. I got wrapped up in wondering how the documentary crew had managed to capture then broadcast the pain to me, the viewer. Interpretation of the meaning of this dream is left as an exercise for the reader.
At any rate, I'm off. Be well.
