First and foremost: All the pre-orders, and the new orders, of The Last Hero On Earth are out the door. Those of you in the US might have got yours as early as today; you should have them no later than Tuesday. International orders will probably take about a week and a half. If you don't have yours by then, please get back to me.
I thank all of you for your patronage, and for your patience, and I apologize for the album taking as long as it did. I genuinely did expect to have it back from the duplicator in time for ConFusion in late January; as it was, it didn't get to the duplicator until almost the end of April. Just stuff upon stuff upon stuff, and then more stuff at the duplicator. Not knowing this was going to shake out the way it did, this is why I wanted to have the album done and downloadable before I took pre-orders, so that you had something to listen to. The next pressed album, I swear to Cthulhu, I'm not taking a dime for until it's at the freakin' duplicator. Period.
The house concert scheduled for North Carolina in late August has been cancelled, so that weekend's free.
And, I have chocolate chip cookies.
So, how's your evening looking?

Quiet evening here. Just got over the spewing sickness. Time to finish the last of the Sapphire & Steel DVDs from Netflix.

Date: 2006-06-03 02:46 am (UTC)Pretending to be a mime at work today was, however, entertaining. As was finding out for certain that one of my coworkers is both divorced (he'd mentioned having kids, so I'd wondered) and at least somewhat interested in me. He's entertaining, but I don't know him well enough to say anything beyond that. Also, I think my friend's ex (remember, the guy we had the "catfights" over?) used mousse in his hair specifically to look good for my picnic last weekend, and this pleases me, even if I am uncertain of the level of my own interest. Yeay for mildly interesting lives. Also, I've spun just slightly more than half the yarn I'll need to knit a pair of socks. (Wow. Nyquil taking effect. I spelled that as "sox").
G'night, I hope!

Date: 2006-06-03 04:10 am (UTC)That last one's kind of stupid since I just had a molar pulled a couple days ago.
Gleefully awaiting the album as well! No worries here on the timeframe as I have appeased the wife by lending her the iPod with the mp3s on it. ;-)
On top of all of that my evil friends have forced me to have even less time by loaning me Season 1 of B5.

Bastards!
I remember what sleep was like...

Date: 2006-06-03 10:55 am (UTC)Lunch today will be with Sharon's godmother and HER mom, at a restaurant (Colton's Steakhouse) that her son owns and manages.
Supper will probably be much lighter.
And tomorrow after breakfast Sharon and I head toward Mississippi for her to visit with her grandparents.
After that I'm going to work Mythic Journeys with the DI and Sharon is hooking up with a carpool to go to a former roommate's wedding.
You're getting all this TMI because after we head for MS I may not be able to get online until we get BACK.

Date: 2006-06-03 02:49 pm (UTC)Right now I am doing t-shirt designs which should be available for pre-sale in the Sluggy store within a month. Trying to gauge how much merchandise to ship out there.
I also bailed out on ConnectiCon, due to it being such a hassle to make it there before SDCC and a general bad pre-con vibes I was getting. That was a bummer.
I am putting together press kits for my book collection to go out to newspapers. Got my contributors' copies of Attitude 3 today. Man, do they look good. For the sake of your own amusement, folks, go order your copy.
So in general, been having my difficulties lately but soldiering on. Can't believe I was considering doing ConCarolinas this weekend at the last minute. I need this weekend to work!
