I just wish I would.

This isn't the worst con crud I've ever had, but it sucks. A lot. Still, life does go on.

Today, I bought a new computer. A white MacBook with the 8X dual layer DVD burner, 2 Gig of RAM, a 200 Gig Hard Drive, VMWare Fusion and one of the spiffy 80 Gig iPod Classics. I have mixed feelings on the iPod. On the one hand, I feel a bit like I shouldn't have spent the money. On the other hand, I feel like I should have gone ahead and popped for the 160 Gig model. I mainly want the thing as an external harddrive. The MP3 and video player functionality is just gravy. 80 Gig should be more than enough for what I want it for, except I know me. I fill hard drives. It's just what I do.

I also had a chance to meet with my crit group at DragonCon, and get feedback on the two most recently finished chapters of the new draft of Meredith MacKenzie and the Uruk Empire. The reactions were a bit mixed, but I've decided to wait and see how they react to the next two chapters before I revise. I think their major concerns will be addressed, but if not, I can always tweek later.

Also, Pan is the single most stuborn creature to ever walk the face of the Earth. Considering he's beating out Persephone, the previous holder of that title, by a wide margin, you should be duly impressed.
