Hope you're all well. I'm looking forward to seeing some of your lovely faces in Kansas City @ worldcon. Things at maid manor have been less than ideal this year but it looks as though things are looking up. I miss you guys. Maid! Welcome back. I am sure worldcon will be fun. I am still hoping to make it to Helsinki next year ... Now where is Gillio? Does anybody have any contact with her? I was just thinking today that she has not come to say hi in some time.

And I also really dislike to more corporate/commercial modules like taxation and stuff. It was really interesting actually, looked at how things were during the Soviet era and how the Soviet era influences the current system. So as a module it was kind of a mix of law, history and politics. Do you have a pupillage sorted out yet? Going to California should be great. PD season 3 season finale is next week. There's been 7 episodes so far, and next week is a two-part finale Fair enough, I'm sure the history side of things must have been quite interesting, I found all the Revolution and Cold War history at school quite interesting to learn about, so it would be cool to see it from a legal perspective too. I've not got anything 100% sorted yet but due to family I've got some very good connections in legal circles but they're nearly all on the other side of the fence, it would have been much easier to get a Training Contract!!.

Also probably get a summer job and spend a week in the Ardennes with friends, and three weeks in Italy at the tail end. Oh, and I'm going to drink. These are going to be some great months. Thanks, I'm really surprised I scored well enough on my exams. Good to see you again. Hope the problems go away soon. That sounds like a pretty great plan for the coming months. And I'll be OK. It's mainly just a slow recovery from a broken leg/ankle and the resulting surgery to repair it at the tail end of last year. 2 hours ago, Gryka zwyczajna said: So call me maybe? Awwwww boy-king!

I'm sure she misses you guys, too! Looking forward to worldcon but I have to remember to take it slow with the gimpy leg. I overdid it at Balticon and really paid for it. I still plan to be in Helsinki but have no idea how I'll pay for it yet! Hopefully I will make it and we'll get a chance to catch up in person.

theMountainGoat Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Morning thread I really wanted to go to Kansas City this year, but alas I cannot. I had to miss Spokane last year because I was out of work, I had the time but didn't have the money. Now I am back in work and have the money but I can't get the time off. Gah! I did try though but the project they took me on for is due on August 19, right in the middle of WorldCon which means sadly I cannot make it. But I will definitely be in Helsinki, hope to see you Maid (and everyone else too) there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm finishing OB tonight and want to finish the first season of The Wire before I start OITNB, but I probably won't hold out that long. So I'll probably start that tonight too, can't wait.

Right now the plan is for me to be in Helsinki (I already have my membership) but I don't know if I'll be able to afford it when the time comes. Plus I'm on the BidCom for the Valley Forge 2017 NASFiC bid, which would be the week after Helsinki, and if we win the bid I don't know how I'll manage both.

How did you do it?, breaking a leg sucks!!, I broke mine on my 17th birthday a few years ago it was so painful!!, but the main thing that drove me nuts was the itchiness and the cast. I'm currently nursing a broken rib which hasn't been a picnic either so I know how you feel and wish you a speedy and full recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't anything you can do but wait it out! Hope you heal quickly. I wish I had a better story about how I broke it, but really it was just a spectacularly clumsy fall in my living room. I tripped over my own feet, rolled the ankle, and landed on it (sitting). The torque of the roll and landing fractured the ankle and resulted in an sort of greenstick break of my fibula. (It went 2/3 of the way up my shin.) It could have been a lot worse - I was really lucky. I hope to be close to full-strength by worldcon. (That's the plan, anyway.) Thanks for your kind words.

But I will definitely be in Helsinki, hope to see you Maid (and everyone else too) there! There is no way I can make Helsinki. The flights are my entire budget (over $1000) and that is just too much. I will do the NASFF con in either Valley Forge (Philly) or San Juan though. Both offer great things...Philly is a short train ride away (or a couple hours drive) and I am trying to convince Quoth to come. I have always wanted to see Puerto Rico, so San Juan would be amazing! 2018 in Dublin though is a definite!

theMountainGoat Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Hey Lany 2018 is either New Orleans or San Jose, which will be voted on in KC this year. I hope to be there for that whichever city wins. Dublin WorldCon will be in 2019. Oh and you may want to start saving up your pennies so you can stay an extra week for a little* shindig we are planning in Belfast for the weekend after Dublin. * By "little" I mean fucking enormous with the potential to leave me bankrupt....
