Convention detention
May. 24th, 2007 07:31 pmAll over my f-list, people are writing about the nifty SF or other conventions they're getting ready to attend this weekend: Marcon, Baycon, my long-beloved Balticon...
And neither I nor the Songbird can go to a one of 'em because of (a) my ever-dwindling funds due to continued unemployment, and (b) the frantic rush to sort our stuff and separate hers from mine and hers for air shipment, hers for sea shipment and hers for storage before the movers come on Tuesday and Wednesday.
And I could have even had a birthday party on Saturday at Balticon, with lots of my friends around to attend.
I know there are lots of folks way worse off than me, but right now my life seems to me a vast expanse of suckage.
Grrr.
