roundup

I am glad to see that the .gif featured in my previous entry had several of you mesmerised. Moohaha.

Fifty signups for Make The Yuletide Gay, and I'm not going to post the banner because I figure, if you're on my friends list and *haven't* seen it yet, it's only because you're not the slightest bit interested. However, I think we can manage a few more writers, yes?

I got the final ingredients for that programme at 0920 on Tuesday morning. Had it finished and sent off for proof-reading at about 0945, and corrected and put on disk, ready to be collected, by 1045. It was collected at 1439 for delivery to the printers. Oh well, I expect it got done.

I've been to visit my Pa today. He was quaffing a glass of red wine and chewing on a chunk of liquorice when I arrived (at 1120). He seemed reasonably cheerful, still proud of himself for splendid efforts in physiotherapy on Tuesday, and very proud of Yaya, who is a valiant knight in the cause of making sure his life goes as smoothly as possible. Seriously, if he hadn't married her, he'd probably be dead now. *wonders if it is possible to buy not-excruciatingly-expensive stuff at Tiffany's*

My Photoshop, she is playing me false. Woe. The cursor displays only as a hand, I can not haz text for macros, or indeed anything else. As my best effort at making programs better is to shut down and hope when I restart the problem will have gone away, I am not sanguine about my chances of making this week's icons tomorrow.

However, this time next week I shall be stuffing my rucksack for my trip to New York, yay! Who have I forgotten who's going to be able to meet up?

If it hadn't been for some stupid LJ announcement, I would have had 14 consecutive posts about MTYG on my friendslist. :)

You have been quite the traveller lately!

I was peeved at first that we'd booked our flights to Florida long before I knew about Lance being on Broadway - and lamenting that I'd not decided on spending a little time in New York while we were on the left side of the Atlantic. But, it all works out!

Odd, really. The first time I went to the USA, I went three times in that year (and the first trip was to see a Broadway show!).

50 sign ups! How cool is that! (almost as cool as New York and Lance!)

and you vanquished the evil programme - go you!

[pensnest]

I had a private target of sixty, don't know why, but it certainly looks achievable given that we have a few more days yet for signups.

I've started having "I'm late!" dreams in anticipation of my trip. *sigh* But I've also been making a list of 'things to do'. New York!

[nopseud]

I'm pretty damn pleased with anything over 50, myself. I had the feeling that, in addition to the general shrinking of popslash over the last year, a number of people who might have signed up for another DWNOGA wouldn't sign up for the new challenge. So I'm very happy.

New York! You must hug Lance for us :-)

[ephemera.livejournal.com]

50 was my mental line - but for the opposite reason ;D - I was thinking that there were a lot of people who signed up for DWNOGA and were, in effect, 'coming back' to popslash to do so, and that they wouldn't sign up this year whoever was running it / whenever the signups were.

But, in conclusion, 53 people and counting!

[pensnest]

That's one reason I was hoping we'd be able to take over the DWNOGA challenge in its entirety. Never mind. It's going pretty well so far!

[pensnest]

It's a sad thing, but I suppose people have finally let go of popslash. Lots of good writers, too. *sniff* But we shall have a grand challenge anyway!

Wait. How did I miss that you're going to be in New York?? Dates please?

[pensnest]

I'm flying out on Friday 16th (arriving quite late), and leaving rather early on the morning of Thursday 22nd. Are you in New York? I never remember where people are...

[msktrnanny.livejournal.com]

I'm in CT, which is a quick train trip from NYC and I believe I have at least one day off while you're here! I'd love to see you if that's at all possible.

[pensnest]

This would be excellent! I shall email you with details of what I am supposedly doing. :-D

[ariadnem.livejournal.com]

The brain thingy was really funny :P

Have fun in your trip and please grab Lance's bottom for me *evil grin*

[pensnest]

I'm pretty sure I can guarantee to have fun, though Lance's bottom may be beyond my reach... ;-)

[ariadnem.livejournal.com]

I know, I know, one can only keep on holding to one's dreams...I'm sure you'll have lots of fun. Don't forget to take lots of pics, OK?

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

I was a bit worried about how many would sign up for the new SeSa but it really seems to be going splendidly. It makes me so happy!

Have lots of fun in NYC! And remember to ogle Lance a lot, you're representing the whole European sparkly fandom :-)

[pensnest]

Dear me, the responsibility! I am pretty sure I shall have fun, I already have a *huge* list of Stuff To Do. Hmm. In five days. Well, I shall try!

Perhaps I can ponder my MTYG story on the plane.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

That's great news about your dad.

Also, about you getting away.

And while we're celebrating. Go MTYG!
