Monday update

The Housewarming was ok. I sadly gave people too many options in an attempt to accommodate those with kids-limited schedules. The result was people trickling in two to three at a time and never staying long enough for another group to show up and kick the numbers up into critical mass for a party.

Interview this morning went well, there should be a second interview Wednesday. It's a medical education company, with a multimedia bent. It would be perfectly decent work and the stability will help get me on my feet. So fingers crossed.

A couple of other job options also seem to have opened up.

A Cecil-tastic update will be coming soon, as she has some projects and signings and tea coming up.

The 9/11 play (Hope in Chaos) took a hit as the lead actress quit under mysterious circumstances, but it looks like we will have a solid replacement. The production of Stop Kiss I auditioned for called me back for tomorrow to read again.

I should have the internet hooked up Thursday (I went with Teksavvy) and then I will once again have easier online access and free reign to be called on Skype for those of you who only have free US calls and not cross-border access.

Mattress saleswomen should not be quite so adorable, btw.

Geektastic Tweetchat tonight! (Boston tea and book signing in August - also Darth Vader)

For those of you who twitter!

To celebrate the paperback release of GEEKTASTIC, won't you join the supremely fabulous Cecil Castellucci (aka my sister) and some of the other people who contributed (Holly Black, Cassandra Clare, Cynthia Leitich Smith, Libba Bray, Wendy Mass and Alvina Ling) for a tweetchat tonight, Monday July 12th at 8 PM EST / 5 PM PST? Use the hashtag #geektastic and come and hang out and be geeky!


In other Cecil news:

For the Bostonians (especially the young ones), she will be in town on Saturday, August 14th at Curious George in Harvard Square, doing a book signing for her new picture-book Grandma's Gloves, along with hosting a craft/tea party. The fun starts at noon!


You should also read the essay about The Darth Vader Project and the formative power of Vader on Cecil's storytelling. (Plus, a there's a song for you to download!)

Mattress

Anyone sees a good deal on a Queen-sized mattress, do please inform me.

I'm fine with used/cheap as a stop gap until I have funds enough for a real one again.
