Might be a little scarce for a bit...

Got a new toy.

Mark gave me my birthday present way early.

It's a dvd digital camcorder with surround sound recording and night time recording and a 40x zoom.

I shall go plot now. What to enlist people to help me with first... parodies of middle earth or a retelling of the silm...

I'm quite dangerous now...

*sigh*

Well, I've spent much time over the last couple weeks, updating things, tracking things down, and talking with the guy at the New York Times about the Tolkien Track at DragonCon...

He called today, gave me the publication date, and then told me that despite the fact he told me initially my name would get in there, that he had to cut things back and I wouldn't be mentioned at all, even though the info pretty much comes from me.

So, I'm a little down about it. Okay, more than a little. I was really looking forward to it.

Well, my old boss is here, and we're singing the 'spam' song, so I feel a little bit better.

*sigh*
