Random burblings

- I'm trying to exert some willpower and not 1) go brew a second pot of tea, or 2) go buy an acceptable-but-not-great americano from the cafe. I feel like I need more caffeine, but I know it will only be a temporary fix. Sadly, my not doing either thing is not so much because my willpower is strong, but the fact that I'm craving GOOD coffee.

- I am idly (well, not so idly) trying to decide if I want to do something completely insane right after SDCC. You see, the day after we come home from the giant con, I could take the train down to Portland, meet up with cass404, and attend a Motley Crue concert with her. Because we both have silly hair metal pasts, and really? Going to see ridiculously theatrical RAWK shows while dressed in full Cupcake Goth apparel is one of my favorite silly things to do.

(Why yes, I've been listening to the "Eyeliner and Aquanet" playlist on the iPod, why do you ask?)

But wow, I'd be tired from the con, and my schedule for July is already kind of nutty. But it's very tempting.

- As a semi-related tangent, I realized that my office decor is sadly lacking a couple of posters. I need a poster of Prince Charming -era Adam Ant, a poster of Shout At The Devil -era Nikki Sixx, and perhaps one of the promo posters for the album Lestat releases in the Queen of the Damned movie. (What? The promo material they made for that looked great. (clicky-link!) Pity the poster doesn't actually, y'know, EXIST.)

I'm not feeling overwhelmed. Really.

blah blah blah day job + prep for book launch = ahahaahaha. This is one of those times when I understand where the cliché about writers drinking a lot comes from. I would dearly, DEARLY love to have a vodka tonic (or a chocolate martini) appear on my desk.

Tonight, watch more of Dexter s1, and perhaps a Tasty Beverage. Yes.
