No Strings Attached

And Peter’s Schedule is

11:00 – 12:00….Coheed & Cambria signing, Booth 2743
12:00-1:00……..Marvel signing, booth 2329
2:30-3:30……….Words to pictures (novels into comics) Room 5AB (IDW)
4:30 – 5:30………Disney’s Epic Mickey, Room 9

Epic Mickey is going to be fantastic. And that’s about all I can say on the matter.

I found the back of the Room! It was back there and it had windows!

Now it is a matter of working through how I am going to get everything back into the room and still be able to access what I need. I had less puppet material than I thought I did but enough to keep me going for a bit.

Caroline’s camp almost went the distance and then it started to rain so I picked her up about 45 minutes early.

Last night Ariel had a friend over so I let Caroline sleep with me. We watched cartoons and baseball until she fell asleep. I was up rather late but I did get some sleep last night.

Today my goal is to finish the spare room project. I plan to take Sunday off to do some other stuff then Monday I am going to have a go at Peter’s office. Treat, the office cat, had some tummy trouble and, even though we cleaned it up at the time, I want to mop down his floor and make it nice again. That and he has a lot of paper that can be recycled.

Peter comes home Tuesday which makes Caroline very happy.

Next week also (having now found my materials) I plan to start some creative projects. Speaking of creative projects, I have another author credit in the anthology “Masked”. It’s a short story by Peter and me called Headcases.

I am grateful that my husband is surviving SDCC. I am hoping he doesn’t catch concrud.

Remember when ComicCon started on Friday?

Peter’s Schedule today

10:00-11:00…..Marvel: X-Men, 10:00 – 11:00 AM, Room 6DE
4:00 – 5:00……..Coheed & Cambria signing, Booth 2743

And he might show up some other places as well. Don’t let the schedule fool you, he has a lot on his plate.

What did I get done yesterday? Close to nothing. I just didn’t feel well so it was mostly sleep that I needed. Bowling was OK. So back to the attack of the room today and move on from there.

Caroline has camp and I really need to see if there is an answer to the goose egg lump she has on the top of her head. She didn’t have it before camp so I am going to assume it was at camp.

Once I got this room cleaned up I plan to get back to the creative side of my life since then I shall know what supplies I really have to work with. I have a dragon idea I want to try out.

But first a few errands in the outside world that need to be done to keep hearth and home in order.

I am grateful for things that amuse me while I clean.

And Peter’s schedule is

1:00-2:00 ……..Marvel Booth signing, Booth 2329
3:00-4:00…….. Coheed & Cambria signing, Booth 2743
4:00-5:00 …….. Movies into Comics with IDW, Room 9
5:30-6:30…….. Creating The New Mythology, Room 30CDE

Along with whatever meetings he has scheduled.

I got half way into the room o’ doom. I cleared the bed and am now going further into the depths than I have been in a while. I have had to trash a whole bunch of glue and paint that has gone bad. Ariel wants me to inform her when I find Atlantis. Peter thinks I am going to find Jimmy Hoffa. Caroline is happy that I found the one thing she wanted found which was the large Pegasus from the Disney version of Hercules.

It will be interesting to see what is back there. My goal is to get to the closet today.

Or I might take a day off and go to the movies to see Despicable Me. I do have bowling this evening.

Caroline and I are going to start a project today that will take two days to do. It’s a craft project but there is a lot of drying time needed.

I am grateful that Peter managed to grab a Galactius hat.

And I’m not there. Which is fine because I know that eventually I will be there again. Right now I need Peter to be there because San Diego is a great con for people in the industry to get work in various parts of the industry.

Since Warren said it already in his blog, Peter is working on comics based on the new Epic Mickey Video Game. Warren and Peter are on a panel together about Epic Mickey on Saturday from 4:30 to 5:30 in room 9. That what Peter has been working on for the past couple of days.

Here is Peter’s Schedule for Thursday

1:00-2:00 ……..Marvel Booth signing, Booth 2329
3:00-4:00…….. Coheed & Cambria signing, Booth 2743
4:00-5:00 …….. Movies into Comics with IDW, Room 9
5:30-6:30…….. Creating The New Mythology, Room 30CDE

I’ll post his Friday schedule tomorrow. If you want to see all of his schedule, then check out his web site here.

I managed to excavate about a quarter of the spare room. I have found some pretty cool stuff and a lot of sewing supplies. I am also amazed at how many dolls I have made. I have found a couple that I totally forgot about.

Puppets are pilling up in one corner. I think they are plotting against me.

Off to slather sunscreen on Caroline and take her to camp for the day.

I am grateful for finding toys that we hid until she was old enough to play with them that are now age appropriate.

This was hard to write because I had to be so careful not to go into the Big Bang so I caution y’all with your comments. I almost skipped this week and said that I was going to combine the last two episodes because they are so of a piece.

And speaking of pieces, it is obvious that there was a lot of extra filming while they were doing the earlier episodes for this one. I liked how it tied the entire season together in less than 5 minutes.

I enjoyed this episode and desperately wanted to know what was going to happen next because I had no idea how Moffat was going to tie this all up. I did have a few niggling concerns but I won’t address those until next week because a lot of them went away with the Big Bang.

More spoilers in the cut and in the comments.

I am grateful for crackerjack storytelling that impresses while confusing me. (more…)
