The long dark night is over
Well, that was a crappy two months. Not because of my life - both my jobs are fine, though the writing one was made difficult, the kids are okay, Mom is getting getting good care - no, the crappy was my internet connection. It wasn't the ethernet cable (we switched), or the network card (the new laptop had the same connectivity problems when I plugged in the cable) - my husband took the modem to our service provider today and switched it and all is now well. You don't know how frustrating it is to get online and then have to reset everything every few minutes.
I spent the day helping a friend at the Anime North convention. I have no particular interest in anime (though some of the dolls are pretty) but enjoyed myself selling Doctor Who merchandise, looking at costumes and seeing the occasional friend walk by. We were in an odd location - in between a booth with large and explicit banners of drawings of naked what looked like twelve year olds with implants. On the other side was a manga dealer who obviously sold porn. What fun.
But as to the internet - researching articles for the next issue of the Bollywood magazine is going to be soooo much easier.
