Inconceivable

Some things in this life are just incredibly hard for even me to imagine. Leslie Banks not being in this world is one of them. Yes, I knew she was sick. I knew it was bad. Even that was hard enough to get my head around. In the grand scheme of things, this morning’s news was to be expected…

The Dragon Scavenger Hunt

One of the great things about a Con as huge as Dragon*Con is living through it vicariously. Thanks to all the newfangled inventions the whippersnappers of the twenty-first century have drummed up, there are tons of ways you can check out what’s going on as it happens…and even before it happens. There’s already a buzz going on Twitter if…

Time

So I’m packed for Dragon*Con–finally–and I’m waiting for my nails to dry. (Typing on a keyboard is a lovely way to do that without seriously screwing them up.) I’m terribly behind on my geek street cred: I never finished watching the last season of Doctor Who (mostly cause I didn’t want David Tennant to leave), nor did I watch…
