Bad News, Great News, Old News, and Just Plain News

Bad News
My iBook is pretty much dead. A week and a half after the tube on our TV starts to die, the display on the laptop is getting -no- info. I can’t even get anything on an external monitor. I’m going through the motions, as time permits, to diagnose the problem. Thanks, for those motions. :) PRAM reset didn’t help, and it’s not the battery. Next step is removing the non-onboard RAM.

This, of course, has been limiting my access to LJ, my email, and most importantly, my class notes.

Great News
The hardcovers have shipped! I got the news yesterday, and so will probably have the books in hand tomorrow. Thank the gods for them showing up before the signings! :)

Old News
Tomorrow, I turn 29. And, just like every year that I’ve been in school, I have an exam on my birthday. This year it’s Islam.

Just Plain News
Egads, I didn’t miss Senioritis. Oi! Motivation! Get back over here! Yes, yes, Writing Projects. I’ll get to you soon. Just give me this week, Bob Spammit. *shakes fist at heavens*

I can’t beleive that the 6th is almost here! I’m all bouncy and nervous and excited as hell. One of the barristas at Gone Wired told me that people keep asking her about the signing, so I should expect a lot of people. We can’t keep that place stocked with the free teasers. They just keep disappearing. There should also now be some at Clem’s Collectibles in downtown Lansing. I’m also fairly certain that, after Saturday, some may end up on the West Coast. Of the United States.

Reminder:
Saturday, May 6th, starting sometime around 8:30 PM: The official release party on IPM Radio. They’ve even got a bit there in their news blurb for next time! If you’re coming, and haven’t pre-ordered or reserved a book, we will have extras to sell! I will be happy to sign anything and everything, including teaser CD’s. If you can’t make it out, and have a decent connection, crank it! :) I will be reading a few selections from the novel, both from the teaser, and from later on in the novel. Don’t miss it!

Sunday, May 7th, starting at 2 PM: Signing at Gone Wired Cafe. This promises to be a much more subdued, but just as big, gathering. There are rumors *wink, wink* of DJ’s spinning some good tunes for background music, as well as what my mother would affectionately call “snackies.” I will be signing like a crazy person, and will also sign anything and everything here, including the teaser CD’s (provided we have any left).

The teaser can also be downloaded from davidmcrampton.com.

I hope I didn’t forget anything. :)
