Brill comic news :)

The lovely Shawn Pryor of PKMedia has written me and Stace into Mercury in the Murd and we recently saw the pages for issue 4 drawn by Chad Cicconi (who also draws the excellent Baby Boomers - www.markosia.com webcomics section). Sooooooooooooooooooooooo exciting to be drawn into a comic book - woot!!!

There's something else on the horizon but i'm sworn to secrecy for now. Woot again!!

Uhhhhh stuff and Brum Con !!

Oops, haven't updated this for a while - um.....what's been happening....ok, I had a week off work (first one since Oct 07 and the awesome trip to NYC), and went to Spain to chill out with a mate who lives over there, leaving my poor ill husband to fend for himself (or rather fend off his mother trying to move in as soon as I was gone to look after him). So I get there and spend 4 hot, relaxed, in-the-sea days until the last night where I fall over like a twat and dislocate my little finger. Idiot.

I fly back the next morning as planned with my finger in a cup of ice and some well-meaning grannies pestering me all the way back with offers of Ibuprofen and hot chocolate. Bless em.

Anyhoo, lovely husband rushes me off to A&E where they aneasthatise (how the hell so you spell that?) my finger as I've opted to not go for gas and air. If anyone asks you which you'd prefer - do gas and air!! Anaesthetic hurt like a f**ker and I squealed like a small 5 year old child....the nice man pops my finger back (at this point I can feel nothing but still scream the place down) and sends me off to xray again - 'to check I haven't broken it by relocating it' - nice!

He hadn't, and i got bandaged up and sent home - unsurprisingly without my sticker or lollipop saying 'I was brave' :D

So now I have a bright blue bandage on 2 fingers of my left hand for 2 weeks - which I've adapted to rather well - after being a bit pathetic for a few days and refusing to do anything with my left hand - and it comes off in 4 days hoepfully - woot!! Just in time for Brum Con.

yeeaahhhhh - i've been looking forward to Brum Con since Bristol Con really (aint it always the way) ......Reasons to be cheerful:

Seeing a load of the comicforums.com people :)
Hopefully getting Alan Martin to sign my very old Tank Girl trade
Hopefully getting a TG sketch from Rufus Dayglo - his TG stuff is gorgeous
Trying for another sketch from Charlie Adlard
Keeping an eye on our mate Harv who tried to ask Bisley out for a fight at Bristol. (Biz thankfully refused otherwise our mate would be an ex-Harv i think)
Sitting on the UK Comics Podcast table and promoting everyone else except Comic Racks - cuz me and Stacey are allergic to self-promotion - huzzah.

Of course I'm getting all excited but we might not make it at all if my other half doesn't get better - killer chest infection and he can't see the doctor until Tuesday. sassannfrassen.
