Japan wins the bid for the 2007 WorldCon. Um. Yay. I'm sure this is a great treat for the thousands of SF fans who like to eat sushi and the occasional few who may want to buy used female underwear out of vending machines (I swear, I'm not making this up)... and of course, really cool for all the fans in Japan. But not at all cool for me. So. Chicago, Philadelphia, San Jose, Toronto, Boston, Glasgow, LA, Yokohama. I know that a worthwhile rotation is entirely dependent on the motivation level of organizers in the target regions, but...

Yeah, I'm whining, sue me. I hope NASFiC gets proper organization that year. Looks like it could be in St. Louis, which would be cool.

Favorite internet cartoon character Strong Bad was recently spotted in an official Lockheed-Martin graphic. He's since been removed, but the resulting Fark comments thread still has it in all its glory. Fun.

The closer we get to going home, the more uncertain the actual dates of departure get. We were apparently given a cut-off date for using the free KBR laundry service, which usually has a three day turnaround, but who knows how accurate that might be. Apparently, though, despite all these convulsions, our return date to the States and further return to Indiana is pretty solid. We'll see. I am so hating that phrase.

Also, hating this keyboard with its missing 't' and 'g' keys. How do people break these things?
