To say I'm nervous right now? MASSIVE UNDERSTANDMENT.

Meep. Four more hours. Less then. Shooooooot.

This makes me sad:

I just finished reading Guards! Guards! yesterday and now I'm listening to the radio play version because I'm too lazy to walk up to the Eaton Centre and pick up Men at Arms. I'm such a big dork. D: On a side note, Carrot sounds completely different then what I imagined.

I actually listened to radio version of The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents before that, on the way into work today. It's surprisingly dark for something intended to be for kids and a parody of talking animal stories. And no, we're not just talking about Harry Potter where it starts light enough and progresses into darker material over the course several novels. It starts out fairly twisted and then swan dives into darker, but funny material. Not that I'm complaining, because it's a great story and one that I would have loved to read as a kid.

Oh, cool. Good luck. :)

Ask him about the Catholics in cattle cars episode of History Bites that cause such an outcry!

Or, don't, since it was just a joke he made at Primedia one year. The sound went off on a History Bites preview he was hosting, so he started ad libbing dialog, claiming that this episode had been condemned by the Vatican.

Ha! There would be one way to kill an interview. "So, what about those Catholics in cattle cars?"

I'm mostly in there to discuss Prisoners of Gravity related nonsense. One of the hosts knows of Rick Green, but has never seen PoG and that's what the other host wants to focus on. Through a series of events that appears to have been set into motion back when I was in high school, I got pulled in.

Oh, and they want me to help with interviews at FanExpo. You have been warned.

It sounds like it'll be fun. :)

And as for interviews - you can ask me all about furries!

"So, these.... 'furries'. They have this... connection to so-called animals with human parts? Hey, did you ever see that CSI episode with the guys in the animal suits?"

I kid, I kid. I'm a longtime Sonic the Hedgehog fan of the era of SatAM Sonic, AKA the cartoon that launched a million furries. Not really a furry myself (beyond my old Sonic fancharacter and that I felt emotionally closer to animals than humans growing up), but I would never do a flat out attack like that. Geek out and let others geek out. :D

I've seen that ep, yup! And it was really weird to watch it, party because the furry who'd just done a lot of art for one of my books was named "Paf." (The con in the show was called PafCon"
