Gaeilge )

Colin Ferguson has kicked me onto a binge watch of Eureka by showing up on another show I watch. I'd forgotten how much I love this show. Unfortunately I only have the first two seasons on DVD, which means I need to pick up the next three. Woe. Possibly less woe if Amazon really does have them for 0$ But I really don't have the money right now to drop on the next three seasons. Especially if they're going to split them up into season and season point five. Grr.

And we did get the Haven recaplysis up! Which took all of Saturday to do, dear lord. No, I take it back, it took all of Saturday to do that and finish the other recaplysis that I was working on, at least. So Haven Season One is done, and now we just have to survive season four! Thank god for short seasons. There was a lot of metaplot and a lot of setting up for future lines and a lot of speculation on our part. Which apparently has caused speculation on the part of our readers that we're connected with the showrunners. Oh dear lord. I don't even know what to do with that, but it's kind of funny in a flattering sort of a way.

All right, then. Today, Gods and Monsters, doing edits, doing Person of Interest in the evening, all that jazz. I feel a little more pressured than I did last week but not unbearably so. Mostly I feel exhausted since some idiot cat saw fit to knock over the change bowl last night and wake me up at three thirty in the goddamn. That was deeply unappreciated, let me tell you.

Not even Liam Neeson is enough to quash my flail today, I think. Argh. Apart from the fact that phone calls today have been complicated and some full of unnecessary flail (made unnecessary by many factors, not just the people on the other end) I mailed off the letter of terror. And now I am trying to put it as far out of my mind as possible because, really, the odds of me getting a response are pretty damn slim. This is the actor I mentioned some days ago who liked my shoulder puppet? At least I gave him information on where to find a gryphon puppet like mine. If he gets to read it. ... Does anyone write fanmail anymore? I don't know, but the whole thing makes me incredibly jittery. I have to keep reminding myself that actors are not, in fact, the opposite of people, as Stoppard would have it. They are people too. Of course, that just leads to the twin flail of 'He has VIDEO OF ME?' and 'what if he DOES write, what will you do then, huh?' The obvious answer to the second one being, well, write back and say hi, but... Feh. My brain, it is nuts, let me show you it.

It's also probably an excuse to procrastinate editing. I hate editing. With the fires of a thousand giant suns. Which are not masses of incandescent gasses, but ... oh, never mind. You see? This is exactly what my mind's been doing all day, leaping from topic to topic like a frog on a buttered skillet, refusing despite my best attempts at begging or bribery to settle on anything. Even Liam Neeson and his cerulean fucking blue eyes. Which will keep me from writing copious amounts of new!A-Team porn, but doesn't help me get anything else done. I suppose I could do physical work, except it's slowed back down to a crawl again.

I need to be zen, and it's not happening. I'm all out of fruit, Charlie. I need to take a breath, do the work, and not freak out. I have no idea why I'm this hyper today. I haven't eaten an excessive amount of sugar (yet). I got enough sleep. Nothing's wrong, really, and yes, I did something bold and surprising and perhaps a little foolish, but people do far far worse things along those lines all the time. Or stupider, or make bigger fools out of themselves. So calm down, Jag. You have work to do.

Yeah, that's the magic phrase, isn't it. You have work to do. Shut up and soldier, soldier. Sir, yes sir. Let the good times roll.

Hey, look! That hasn't been seen in a while! I figure now's as good a time as any to try and start getting back into routines, even though this morning I was too tired and crummy to do Russian and tomorrow will be the in-store sale, and crazy busy. Hopefully tomorrow I can do all three languages, though. And then editing commences. Yay. Not.

Not really much to say. What I thought was con crud turned out to be probably stress fever and exhaustion, which a lot of rest and sleep did pretty much fix. So, yay for getting out of this without con crud and not turning into a zombie? I may credit copious use of hand sanitizer and getting a full night's sleep for this. I wasn't always so conscientious about such things, but this con I was sort of more careful. And lo, it paid off! Wonder of wonders.

I'm really not going to be that interesting today, I'm sorry. I'm going to go home, possibly order food in, and write my poor little hands off to finish up some last projects, and then fall over go sleep for a while. And pretend I'm not terrified about something I'm going to do that is, okay, less stupid than I keep saying it is, but certainly fairly bold. Which is to say, wave at an actor and go "Hi! I liked talking to you. Can I talk at you some more?" I have no idea if this will even stand a snowball's chance in the ass end of hell of working, but hey. It definitely won't work if I don't try, right?

I'm starting to hate that reasoning.

Okay, so, I lied. Last con report!

Monday morning we all sort of got up... well, I got up before everyone else 'cause I just don't sleep in. At all. Packed up a little. Then I got breakfast for people, then we packed up a little more and started loading things into the cars. And Ali and I headed back out to the con to hang with [profile] booknerdguru and Moose and so on, and the boy stayed behind to wake up more slowly.

And I'm rather glad we did. We decided to meet up at the Walk of Fame because I wanted to see if Luke Perry would be there (he wasn't) and Ali wanted to meet up with mark Sheppard one last time (who was running late) and I had my shoulder gryphon Woodbaby. Because I could, pretty much. I've been doing a lot of stuff over the weekend because I could. And I walked by a couple booths and then I got to Neil Grayston's (Fargo from Eureka) booth. And his eyes got really big and he was all "Oh wow" and I made Fluffy (we named the Woodbaby Fluffy) move his head up and down and side to side and he thought it was the coolest thing ever. And then he asked if he could take a picture. Or someone did, his handler asked if he'd brought his camera/iPhone/something and they scrambled for it and I asked him if he wanted to have it on his shoulder for a picture. So we put it on his shoulder. And he took a picture. Actually, he took video. I made the head move some more and his handler was all "Aww, look, he likes you!" and he just seemed really thrilled with it. And I, thank god, managed to keep my composure. I saved all the squee for later. Seriously, you have no idea how much squee I have over this. I was over the moon. Bouncing like crazy.

Colin Ferguson wasn't there or I would have asked for more hugs. He was a very cuddly person. We went on, buoyed by our success, to Corin Nemec. We were going to show the puppet to Mark Sheppard but he still wasn't there, so, Corin Nemec. And he, too, thought it was absolutely amazing. More oohing and ahhing over how the head moves, Moose was there so I pointed out how she had, like, six, and she and him talked for a bit about how she could have one on each shoulder and he said something to the effect of how she could look like she was being swarmed by them. And she commented on how it would look like The Birds. It was great. Somehow, too, this segued into everyone talking about their cats. I think because I mentioned that my cat likes to chew on mine. (Which, yes. As soon as I got home, I put Fluffy down for five seconds and Michelle was going gnaw gnaw gnaw.) And we were all talking about our cats and Corin was being a good sport about it all and really, really adorable.

And then I got Jonathan Frakes's autograph, which was fairly normal and ordinary. And then we went around and bugged Eddie McClintock, who was likewise fascinated by the Woodbaby but remained somewhat aloof. But he did call us all by names with a minimum of peering at our nametags, and Moose told him to call her Moose. And then blinked and may have flailed a bit about it later. (I am so teasing you about that for at least another couple of days.) And he shook our hands and he was really nice.

And then I kind of wanted to stick around for to see Mark Sheppard's reaction to Fluffy, but he still hadn't showed up, so we left. And now that, I promise, is the last con report.

I'm kind of tempted to see if I can connect with Neil Grayston even after the con. It's seriously tempting. I never thought it would be, but it is. Time will tell. Right now, working my way back into routines. I don't even remember where the hell I was in my Russian, which is kind of sad.

Oh! I need addresses for people I'm going to send autographs to. PM! Unless you know I already have your address.

Oogh. It's all blurring together in my head now. Basically, Jim Butcher was a wash. Which was irksome, but kind of inevitable the way things shook out. We're hopeful for tomorrow. I feel kind of bad, actually, it's what Moose came down here for. The sequence of events here is a bit wacky, so I'm not sure what order they're in. But all of these are true.

Eventually we made our way back up to the autograph hall. I got Edward Furlong's for [personal profile] viridian and for me... he looked pretty exhausted. Or maybe tired and emotional. I'm not sure, with him. And he didn't have any CSI stuff for me, so I got Terminator stuff for both of us. So now you have a Terminator signed to you by Edward Furlong! And I did not confuse him with Eric Balfour, thank god.

I went over to Adrian Pasdar, then, and Sendhil Ramamurthy. Adrian's line first and then jumping to Sendhil's, because they were both relatively short. Adrian is even more gorgeous in person, was really adorable. I asked if he had any Profit photos and he said no, "but we really should!" And I told him I loved that show, and then the boy spoke up behind us and said he should have something from Solarbabies. Now, if any of you have seen Solarbabies... I'm sorry. It was bad. And it was 80s. And bad. And Adrian kind of hemmed and hawed and then verbally hid behind me when I said no, we weren't going to go there. And we talked another moment about Profit and then I moved on to Sendhil. And he is even more hot and smexy in person. Oh my god I want one. I never found him devastatingly handsome in film but in person oh my god. He just has this warmth about him. And we did the usual pleasantries and personalize that, yes please, and then I had to ask if he was evil in Covert Affairs. And he said well, you'll have to wait and see, but the next three episodes were really going to reveal some things. And he was really excited, too, I think, that I'd been watching Covert Affairs. He was talking it up to the guy ahead of me and then I mentioned that I'd been watching it and liking it and he seemed like he brightened.

And then! Um, then. Then, there was Colin Ferguson and Neil Grayston. And Colin Ferguson was... amazing. First, the guy ahead of me asked him about Allison. I mumbled something about how he finally dropped teh Idiot Ball when it came to Allison, and his eyes flickered over to me, then the guy in front of me conversed with him a bit more about that, then Colin replied and was sort of fumbling around words and I provided "Not a happily ever after, you have to work for it" and he looks at me and is all "Exactly." So I squeed. And then it was my turn and I told him I really loved the writing, and how they hadn't pushed the reset button on the timeline, and he said he felt the same, that he was really glad when he got the next script/word down from the producers, whoever the "they" was who told him. And then I somehow managed to ask if I could get a picture with him. Now, I had my tricorne on, but it wasn't staying very well on my slick hair without a scarf underneath. So he gets up and leans over and my tricorne fall sover my face, and somehow in the ensuing chaos he got one arm around my shoulders and the other around my head and is pretty much enveloping me. And it was hysterical. And adorable. And we all laughed, and it was perfect! And then he hugged me and the boy took the picture.

And THEN (god, Eureka gets two paragraphs.) Neil Grayston. He had these really awesome glossies that weren't pictures so much as motivational/promotional posters for Global Dynamic. Not Eureka the tv show, Global Dynamic. So I got one that was all "Think Global, act Dynamic" and looked kind of sinister. With Fargo. So you can, if you've seen the show, imagine the effect. I said the same thing to him about being glad for no reset button, and he said something similar, and I said I was really glad because it seemed like Fargo was growing up, getting to be a grown up, something along those lines. And he said yeah, he really loved that, and wait till episode 13-or-whichever-one-we-just-finished-shooting because he got to be all take charge! do this! fix that! And it was really cute. AND. He liked my tricorne. The one that Colin Ferguson knocked off. And then he wrote, on my glossy, "You're [sic] hat is rad!" Which I think is even funnier for the misspell. A-dor-a-ble.

I got Brandon Routh's by sneaking over while I was in line for Summer GLau, who had the biggest damn line out of the whole walk of fame. He was really nice, signing something for a soldier ahead of me. And if I remember right, he was one of the two who read my shirt, which reads "Real Goths Don't Wear Black. They Sack Rome." and liked it. And I explained, well, history and anthro, I had to grab it. Jewel was apparently very sweet, but I didn't get to be with her very long. And Summer was absolutely tiny and adorable. She, too, liked my shirt! She read it and I told her the same thing. Bri said something about her picture selection and I commented that that's because she's always playing the girl who kicks everyone's ass, and she made a little "rarr, I R badass" face. Which was so cute. And I asked her if she ever had seen what an internet phenomenon she was, and she said no, she didn't want to look at that because if she did and saw the negative stuff she'd be upset for a week, which now that I think about it I think I had heard about her. Which is also cool, I can totally understand that. But she was really, really adorable. And really patient with her huge, long line.

William B Davis was there too, he looked either exhausted or just plain overwhelmed. I've got my ticket for Michael Shanks tomorrow, and they do have Victor glossies. YES. I did remember to go back and ask Mark about the Pacino, he hadn't done it on purpose. (Although I wonder if now he'll go back and see what we were thinking of or just be all "nah, that girl's nuts.") And we talked some about the kiss and I told him I wanted my kiss back. That was not sexy. And he said "Ah, but me and Jim Beaver..." and I had to admit, that was kind of sexy. And hilarious.

Oogh. After the autograph hall and the several trips through the dealer's room, we pretty much called it a day. Standing in Summer's line alone was half my autograph time, it was insane. And tomorrow, it's just going to be Cheetara again. My feet can't take the heels if I'm going to do autographs too, I need to do something else. Maybe an hour on the costume catwalk and black sneakers with boot spats after that. Unless I can find black flat knee-high boots between now and then.

Day 2 over. Lots of fun had, and now over. Day 3 I only have 1 person to collect autographs from and the rest can be taken at my leisure. Though I may go back and get the pirates' autographs. A couple people were struck off the list for being exorbitant and/or inaccessible and then I flailed and took out a bit more money when I forgot my autograph money at the hotel room. D'oh! So. Pirates, I think. But only if their lines are short.

And maybe I can sneak another hug from Colin Ferguson. >.>
