The fundraiser fun always starts earlier for me than for you – not in terms of preparation. That’s not always fun as such, but a necessary precursor – which I am not complaining about here, btw. No pain, no gain, and I am happily and fully prepared to put in the graft for the results…
When Nat tweeted at the beginning of May and suggested a RA blog reunion to find out what people had been up to, I initially did not think the call for the blogging event was addressed at me but at all those bloggers who I remember from my early days in the fandom and many…
I still think of papa every day. I miss him. It’s his fifth anniversary today. He gave me more than just a piece of sky. Also unforgotten: The kindness of my fellow fans at a time that I needed you. Thank you, I will forever appreciate your support, your words, your gifts, your presence. Peace…
Hello hello hello. We – well, *I* – have two options today. I can continue procrastinating with my blog posts just because I feel bad that I haven’t replied to all the comments to my recent blog posts, haven’t read and commented on the blogs of my fellow bloggers since the Easter weekend, or still…
The customary good night post with a last update before I head to bed. Those of you who are following the auctions on Twitter, too, have already seen the 2nd landmark reached earlier on. Here it is: Over the course of the day, the bids have moved further, and some time this evening our current…
Part of the fun of our charity fundraiser is actually following the progress of the individual auctions. Last year I brought you the milestones of the auctions. This year, there will be a landmark series – to acknowledge the various notable points along the way of our auctions. The pinging on my phone has gone on…
Quick update on the question whether fans are interested in a charity auction on the occasion of RA’s birthday next month. The populace has spoken. Well, or at least those who participated in the poll. I take my cue from the poll: The birthday auctions are on for another year. Yay! Happy to facilitate it,…
If Servetus hadn’t mentioned her 8 year blogiversary on Tuesday, I totally would’ve forgotten my own fan-i-versary. It is six years to the day, today, that I could not hold back any longer and burst on the scene with a tumblr blog of my own. Well, “burst on the scene” is an overstatement. When I…
Let me lead into today’s teaser post with a good-mood tweet courtesy of Get Reel Movies, the Canadian movie site which had called for submissions for interview questions. Unsurprisingly, the initial tweet received many responses with interesting questions to ask Mr A. Yours faithfully also fired off a question, which elicited a “like” from Get…
It’s nice to come home after a long absence. Does three weeks count as ‘long’? The comfort of familiar surroundings is reassuring. My home, my bed, my regular workspace. And my blog. It’s almost as if I am looking at something entirely new, browsing my own blog, looking at photos I took myself, and yet seeing things…
