Kat Dancing

The hand revisions are done. I did the last 15 pages on the bus to Toronto Saturday. Where, incidentally, I had a fabulous time getting the new book by Karl Schroeder at the Bakka books signing and an equally lovely time chatting with Karl himself. I've met more authors this summer. Sometimes it really astonishes me.

From there we went to mycrazyhair's party, where I drank far too many raspberry chocolate martinis. But they tasted so good! I'm still not sure how many I had - somewhere in the vicinity of three - but it kept me very, very tipsy for a very long time. Luckily I am a harmless drunk. Some people drink too much and get maudlin or go out and do idiotic things with cars. I just talk a lot, mostly about books, and threaten people with my wild hand gestures.

Some people also get these hangover things. I don't, so that's all right.

Sunday we went to kourtneyshort's for dinner, where we discovered that we'd both made dessert. This was of course a terrible tragedy, but we faced up to it with fortitude, and ate them both. Much good financial advice also happened. Today we went for pizza in the park with fishsauce, and tomorrow we do movie night with halfwitted.

I am going to see everyone before I go if it kills me.

Okay, most everyone.

Also started the type-in half of the revision today. Full report tomorrow, but it doesn't look like this half will take two months.
