Making plans

I have one goal for tomorrow. Break out the envelopes and stamps. I'm going to go through, edit my query letter, and send out another batch of them. I believe there's quite a few people left on my list.

And I wonder if there's protocol for resubmitting a query? I should look that up.

Plans for Kumoricon '08 have changed a bit. I'm doing only two cosplays instead of 3, but the second is actually shaping into something. Especially now that I have a new sewing machine. Hopefully it'll turn out. *crosses fingers*

Additionally, I now have plans to save money and take a trip down to Dallas next May for A-Kon, which will be rather spectacular. My goal is to save a minimum of $500 for the trip, as I've figured out basic cost (Likely $150 for the plane, another $150 for the two nights in the hotel, and $30 for the pre-registration). EXCITEMENT!

And the book is going MUCH slower, which is not pleasing. I don't know if my drive is running out, if the characters aren't working for me anymore, or if the thing has been flawed from the beginning. I need to kick my ass into gear though. I wanted to have 90% of it done by the time I moved back to Portland, and I'm almost to something like 33%. Not anywhere close. Grr. But at least I can send it to my prof. once Part I is finished. Three more chapters, Kaitlyn. You can do this!

Summer plans...I sound like a musical

First off: Ni90 has been kicking my ass into shape. Which is good, because otherwise the project will never get done. Even if some days getting the words out is like having a root canal. But something's getting done, yeah?

Also, people need to stop trying to ruin Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls for me. No, I have not seen it yet. I plan on seeing it next week when I can fit into a theatre without feeling like a sardine. Also, I missed the after-credit stuff for Iron Man, and I'm slightly miffed.

I need to remember that I need to get my pass for Kumoricon this summer, I need to renew my Livejournal, I need to pay for the next six months here, and I might be hitting Warped Tour and The Sammus Theory. Let's hope I can do all of that on no job this summer. *crosses fingers* Likely, I'll end up dropping Warped, paying for 2 months on my LJ, and then going from there.

Oh, and we got a new cat. Athena is angry at the usurpation of space, but has generally been ignoring the fact that there's a new cat in the other room. At least thus far. When the door opens, she does rush to get in, but otherwise she ignores it. Oh, and the kitty's name? Pandora. Gods, I'm a Greek nerd.

And the Loki thing figured itself out--and no one has pointed it out as a weak point in the new chapter so far, so I suppose I tweaked the legend enough to fit without decimating it like Troy's adaptation of the Iliad. Bully for me.

Lunch calls. Feed me, Seymore. Rawr.
