Today is being a Bad Day, thanks to the unique combo of my back being wonderfully painful and getting certain cramps a day early. Again. Bleh. Painkillers and chocolate ahoy!

However, I managed to get into work early due to the complete lack of other people on the roads and the sun is shining in a very pretty way. So it's not all bad. I just need lots of coffee and chocolate brought to me by beautiful maidens in alluring togas. Or something.

I am trying out LJ's new vertical menu design. I may decide to go back to the original layout, but I thought I'd give it a go for a few days. It does have the advantage of being less likely to flip around if I'm not feeling too co-ordinated with teh mouse, but I'm not completely convinced yet.

I've also been reading a bit of the reaction to the loss of the Hinkley Island Hotel for [livejournal.com profile] redemption_con. To be honest, finding a new hotel that we can take over completely sounds like a great idea: there were definitely problems with the hotel this year, particularly the food and the attitudes of non-con guests, so I'm looking forward to having all the fun of Redemption without that. If we're the sole occupants of the hotel for the weekend then they'll have to do a reasonable job with food, won't they? We could even have a green room kind of thing like certain other cons, maybe with snack food available at times other than specified eating times. And free WiFi would be very nice if it can be achieved :-)

I'm feeling rather flattered, and surprised, about all the feedback for the [livejournal.com profile] femslash07 fic. Quite nice to know that I can write more than just Teyla/Elizabeth without totally sucking :-)

The Discworld Con last year was also at Hinckley, and it had enough members to take over the whole hotel - that seemed to run much more smoothly. Of course, DW has the other problem to Redemption - it's now too big for Hinckley, and they're going to be at a larger hotel near the NEC next time ...

I think they also had hotel issues ... It seems the management changed a year or so ago ...

Which is a shame ... as I've always liked the hotel for conventions ..

Mind you I DON'T like the new triumph bar .. dispite the smoke I prefered the snooty fox ... neither of the new bars feels ... well pub like enough to sit and have a drink in ...
