At least the triumph of our cephalopod overlords is not far off.

I survived the lawn. Tonight, I am going to see Up (2009). And then I am tired of not writing a particular story; I think it is time to start researching again. No con report yet, but have a photograph: courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] ellen_datlow, me and [livejournal.com profile] greygirlbeast, amazingly still conscious (though a bit overexposed) on Sunday afternoon.



I have no clever caption. I'm just impressed I could still make eye contact. [livejournal.com profile] greygirlbeast looks good.
