redthroatedloonIt's really difficult to keep this thing updated, isn't it? What with Real Life & all.
Okay, first of all, I had a really nice time tonight. Went to the NYRSF (pronounced Nyersef) reading at the South Street Seaport museum (okay, NYRSF is the New York Review of Science Fiction). Two good readers, and we went out to a nice Irish bar afterwards, and I had a great Stargate fan conversation with a very talented lady who, much to my delight, said after a couple of minutes something like, "What is it with them and this relationship they're trying to push between those two anyway? I mean, who needs it?" Considering she was turned on to Stargate because I lent her my DVD of the series pilot, I am proud that she's come so far. She then started discussing online O'Neill/Teal'c slash, and I realized she'd surpassed her teacher.
On the less good side, I just discovered that eBay is closing down Half.com at the end of June. I love Half.com; I discovered it shortly after it went online, and it's been my place to go and buy/sell used books. I have absolutely no patience with eBay (besides, you have to pay just for listing your stuff), so I'm going to slowly put my used books on Amazon, and see if anything sells. It's just so sad, though. Another good site bites the dust.
