Adjoining photo was taken during Jonathan Coulton's concert last week at Confluence. Focus is a bit soft, but it's the best Coulton photo I have. He made a big splash at the con, as did filk GOH Lawrence Dean. One of these days, I'll finally finish my conrep.
Another late night, but it's been an at least halfway productive one, or at least two-fifths. I've launched into a fairly ambitious reconfiguring/redecorating/reconfiguring of my apartment -- which, for my apartment, largely consists of emptying bookshelves, moving them between rooms, and filling 'em up again. The goal is to make the living room more inviting, my bedroom less cluttered, and my combined office/library more officish/librarish and less landfillish.
Said O/L is the second, larger bedroom, and since I live alone it's been useful for housing my PC, several hundred books (and magazines and comics and such), assorted works in progress, various notebooks of my portfolio clips, whatever hard-copy photos I haven't either scanned or albumed, a couple boxes full of packing peanuts, my file cabinets of fiscal-type stuff, the Holy Grail and the Philosopher's Stone. (Pretty much everyone has a room like that, or in some cases a house like that.)
Words: Finished Gone with the Breeze by Larry Dickens this week, the topic of an article I wrote for today's paper. Dickens was the chief mate aboard the fast ferry that ran two years between Rochester and Toronto before the Rochester city government pulled the plug due to nearly insurmountable fiscal inviability. The book is Dickens' fascinating memoir of the time aboard the ferry and the countless behind-the-scenes issues that were dealt with routinely. A good, quick read.
