My wonderful mother picked up this flyer for me when she went shopping in Wincanton not too long ago. I will definitely be there: I wouldn't miss it! I haven't read a Discworld novel for a while, but at one point I'm fairly sure I owned all of them, and his were the first books I remember reading at age 7 or so (I don't really remember that much before the age of 7, and to be fair I haven't really remembered much since).

The good thing is, she lives not too far away from Wincanton, and I don't actually live all that far away myself. It's certainly drivable: no more than a couple of hours, I would think. Wow, this feeling must be the smug feeling people get when there's a convention that they really want to attend visiting their town. Needless to say, I'm very excited. In an understated cool way, of course.

I was going to do a very interesting post about women and sci-fi and...well, women in sci-fi, but I haven't yet collected any of the pictures I wanted to use so that will have to wait. Oh well. Tomorrow is another day. Which reminds me, tomorrow I have to cut the grass, clean the house and apply for jobs. When did my life get so mundane?
