| My son serenaded me as I got ready for bed ... With his cymbals, which are a modified hihat. Life is always weird here. Plus the cats are watching me ... Following me room to room in case I disappear again. |

So... what I'm hearing you say is that Dogbert practiced his drums this week. ? |

| It's good for writers to understand cymbalism. |

| Tonight I went to the Hugos. Ursula Vernon (T. Kingfisher) was toastmaster and she regaled us with amazing animal facts. The last one she got to announce herself, but she didn't have an envelope. R2D2 brought it to her. Brilliant. Did you know about the crab-hacking barnacle? How about that the most expensive racing horse semen is $49 million per gallon? Or that Sue the Trex at the field museum probably died of Frounce, a weird parasite common to birds in this time? I think my brain exploded and I must sleep. |
