Grumpy, Sending Cats....

So, I am planning on going to Chicago WorldCON. For one, Chicago! For two, naomikritzer is up for a Lodestar this year (the YA Hugo) for her novel Catfishing on Catnet, and she is my friend and I would love to see her win again (or, you know, hold her hand, if she doesn't.) 

I've been feeling very lucky to have gotten past the various hurtles to be considered for programming. Chicon has announced its first wave of programming participants and... I'm not on it. APPARENTLY, the email I got that sent me to a list to frantically check for my name, implies that there's still another chance for me to be on paneling. So, I guess I am still in the running? I am crossing my fingers.

But, you know, I am disappoint.

Like one is.

Plus, I did not manage to get my novel done by the end of May, so I am feeling generally loser-ish. 

And it's gray and threatening rain, but not actually raining. (The worst!)

WHINE.

So, here are pictures of my cats.
