GIP!

Some of you have noticed that I haven't posted recently - that's because with TT coming up in a week, I just haven't had time as I've been dealing with an avalanche of emails every day. I apologize to all of you who have missed me. :P

thespian created this icon after we returned from this year's Gaylaxicon in Boston:



Cool, eh?

(The "eh" was inserted specifically for the amusement of my American readers. :) )

I had a good time at the con - there was some drama, as there always is, but overall I enjoyed myself and seeing people that I don't get to see very often. Our room party was well-attended, and we sold 20 memberships for next year while we were there. There were, of course, things that I would have liked to have seen that I didn't get a chance to for various reasons, but I was impressed with how smoothly things appeared to run. (I say "appeared" because dracut seemed to think there were things that could have been improved, but they were invisible to me.) We have our work cut out for us next year! :)

Here are some pictures:

That being said, dracut, I hope your wedding went smoothly. Congratulations! (Though I think you're nuts for getting married the day after chairing a con...) They say that once something happens twice, it's a tradition. I think I can safely say that I won't be the one making that particular tradition come to pass. ;)

In other news, there has been nothing regarding the job I interviewed for last week. When I returned from Boston (about 6 AM Tuesday morning) my answering machine was full of calls from telemarketers, so Tuesday afternoon when I got up I called the headhunter to check in. He hadn't heard anything yet, so I hadn't missed any calls from him. It seems they were interviewing 20 people, so it was taking them longer to decide whom to invite for a technical interview. (But they're hiring 9 people, so I feel good about my chances.)

Anyway, while I could go on for pages about everything that's happened since my last post, I won't. (Satisfied, Chris?) I'll just post this meme, since indefatigable42 tagged me last week before I went away:

My list of the top ten most attractive celebrities, in no particular order:

Colin Farrell
Connor Trinneer
Fabrizio Filippo
Pierce Brosnan
John Barrowman
Michael Shanks
Matthew Broderick
Randy Harrison
Rufus Wainwright
Brad Pitt

What constitutes "attractive" in this poll, anyway? I mean, I know Matthew Broderick doesn't usually show up on lists of attractive celebrities, but I've had a "thing" for him since I was 15... I'm still kicking myself for not getting tickets for The Producers when he and Nathan Lane were doing the roles.

Somehow I don't think most of the others on my list will be all that shocking... then again, perhaps I surprised one or two of you.

I never really was attracted to any celebrities before, but I guess now that I am more "celebrity aware" that I have acquired lust for Brad Pitt (very yummy), Connor Trinneer (very Southern yummy), and Orlando Bloom (with short hair though). All very yummy indeed.

You can have Orlando. :P
