Things to do, some of which may be done today:

0) Put in another 2-3 hours of Work to make up for the completely wasted afternoon on Thursday[1].

1) Write an intro email to VP listserv.

2) Write a review of Eleanor Arnason's A Woman of the Iron People for the Medialog and submit it to SF Mistressworks.

3) Write about Harmony and Rocket Girls for the Medialog.

[spoiler: I liked all three of the above, in different ways and for different reasons.]

4) Contact my parents, via email or phone.

5) Write some postcards, now that I have some and the mail strike lockout is over.

6) Email various people to whom I owe email.

7) Email locals in an attempt to create a local social network.

8) Start writing the next story, for which I have a potential title ("Southbound"?) and a vague idea.

... wow, that looks like a lot of words. Better get started.



[1] Thursday from 11:30 was supposed to be "walk to celebratory crepe lunch, pick up a smart from the smart carshare, drop [personal profile] uilos at Waterfront Station to sort out some ZipCar stupidity, drive back to the vicinity of home, talk to the bank about a wire transfer and credit limit, go home having taken at most a couple hours for this, and finish the workday." I hadn't reckoned with Vancouver being the least car-friendly city I've ever encountered. Unlabeled one-way streets and no left turns off Georgia meant I had both unexpected death-defying incidents and an unexpected trip through Stanley Park and across the Lions Gate bridge, which was very pretty but not really something I wanted to be paying $0.35/minute to see twice. Nor had I reckoned with the left hand/right hand ignorance of Vancity Credit Union and Vancity Visa. Five hours and an extra trip on foot to the bank later, I get to wait 'til Monday to see if the credit limit's been sorted, because everything was closed on Friday for Canada Day. At which point I gave up on the rest of the day.

"Jazz Fish, a saxophone playing wanderer, finds himself in Mamboland at a critical phase in his life." --Howie Green, on his book Jazz Fish Zen

Yeah. That sounds about right.
