It's hard to describe the headaches (metaphorical and, oh, so very actual) that come from your computer going down at the exact point you need it to be performing at its peak. With less than a month to go before my US/Canada 'tour' (ha!) and tons of work to do... well, the last few days minus power-cable have been...annoying. More annoying than Alien 3 even. However a replacement cable arrived this morning and now the t-shirt designs are off to the printers, the brochure is nearer done than not and now I only have to balance Impact, Verbatim and UPS stuff. *sigh*
Did have a very last-minute invite from the Collectormania guys to attend the LFCC at Earl's Court, so knowing I could do very little computer work, I did travel to London overnight and back. The Heroes cast were at LFCC but only spoke briefly with Jack Coleman (HRG) and Dominic Monaghan (Charlie of Lost). Had more interesting time hanging out with famed Star Wars producer Gary Kurtz, Alex West (the voice of Futurama) and William Mapother ('Ethan' in Lost). The guys behind the new audio adventures of Blake's 7 were fun and there were a couple of hours for some drinks before I had to hit the sack like a sack of something that hasn't had sleep for days. ZZZZZZZZZZZ to the Nth etc etc before getting up early to head back.
But a promised/threatened shout out to the ever-resident con-volunteer 'Evil' (see above) for entertaining the troops with her wit, humour and most importantly jugs of alcohol (steady, guys, she's taken - relax, girls, not by me).
Still feeling more rundown than a highway full of road-kill, but with less than a month before LA and Vancouver fun, I'll be fine once I've had some sleep and stopped stressing. No. Honestly.
