The problem with going to conventions is that you come back with all these books you want to read, TV shows you want to watch, stories you want to write, projects you want to start, people you want to email, blog posts you want to write, and so on, and meanwhile, the rest of your life has been on hold for an entire long weekend and is urgently demanding your attention.

In particular, I have just realized that I really need to put the pedal to the metal at work for the next week or two, or Bad Things Will Happen.

And so all of these other things in my head are needing to be shoved aside, and it is making me grumpy.

Watching the British sitcom Coupling helps a bit with the grumpy - each episode lasts only half an hour, and makes me laugh out loud many times. It is possibly the most comedy-dense television show in existence.

In other news, I have possibly persuaded my boss to watch Torchwood. Um.

Back to work now. Talk to you later.
