Progress.

Hey! Looka that! I can see my goddamn floor!

SIXBOX has been an absolute pit since shortly before Xmas, when it became little more than the Xmas Staging Area -- discarded packaging, receipts, scraps of gift-wrap everywhere. After Xmas, it was even worse, as the floor itself buckled under the incoming load of presents from the family.

And since I've been a little sick -- I didn't think I was going to get my now-traditional winter cold, but it came -- I haven't had the energy to really do anything about it. I've been kind of half-heartedly picking my way through the rubble for days now, washing a dish or two here, putting away a tchotchke or two there. But now I've made real, visible progress -- I can actually walk a clear path through my living room. Huzzah.

(Don't Ask About The Bedroom.)

All of this cleaning, aside from just simply being necessary for my fragile mental health, is also largely in preparation for handing over the keys to SIXBOX to kespernorth for ten days, so he can watch over home and cat while retcon and treebyleaf and I wend our way south to Disneyland, where we shall surely die.

If you're going to be at Rustycon this weekend, be sure to swing by the dance on Friday night -- Riff's DJing, and you can come say goodbye to us.

Having worked for Disney (aka ESPN.com), I know the more recent stories of death and dismemberment, but you probably don't need to hear those before you go. Have fun. Go on the Indiana Jones ride for me. I love that one. Email me if you're willing to be a courier.

I might be there

We'll be at the con (see you at the dance, and you know where to look for us [OSC-need a hand?] ;-> )
I know what you mean about cleaning. The tree *will* be out of the living room before we leave for the con!
(Is a SIXBOX related to a Skinner Box?)

Jason and I will be at Rusty Saturday night, sans kids. Jason may end up kicking me out Friday night to blow off some steam on my own for a few hours. either way, I'll see y'all there.

I may even do a dry run of my new look.
