Thinking Ahead

 CONvergence sent out their programing schedule.  I'm on six panels this year, which is more than I was expecting since they're having so MANY returning guests of honor for their twentieth anniversary. I moderate half of those.

In (current) order: The DEATH NOTE Fan Panel (mod), In Defense of Timothy Dalton as Bond (mod), CONvergence Poetry Slam (as a judge), Pounded in the Butt by Chuck Tingle Fan Panel (mod), Literary Awards, and, finally, Understanding the Hugo Awards.

Of those, I think the one that I'll have to do the most prep for is actually my very first panel, the DEATH NOTE one.  I've seen the anime, of course, but I have not caught up on the live-action Netflix original miniseries.  There's also a bunch of spin-off DEATH NOTE related stuff that I've heard about and I'll have to at least track down a list of what all those are.  

I should probably re-watch Timothy Dalton's Bond, too.

In other news, I feel kind of poorly as they say in the UK and other places English is spoken.  I woke up with a very runny nose which I normally attribute to allergies. On a normal allergy day, however, I can take an antihistamine and things clear up in an hour or two. Today, the post-nasal drip has been continuous.  I'm hoping that with a liberal application of honeyed tea, more drugs, and an early bed time, I will feel better tomorrow.

CONvergence sounds like so much fun! if you don't mind so many people & things to do. Geez, I still haven't seen DEATH NOTE (or the Dalton Bond films, for that matter).

My sympathies on the poorliness. Even the threat of a summer cold is terribly annoying and very little fun.
