Hey kids,

So I'm back from Calgary Expo, and while on holiday in Canada, I picked up what can charitably be described as Mongolian Death Flu. I drove up to my parents' house to visit the folks for a few days and wound up bed-ridden in the guest room. Now, five days later, I'm still here, surrounded by kleenex and cough syrup bottles and not very happy indeed. My fever stubbornly refuses to break, and my parents are amazed, seeing as I usually recover so quickly from colds.

I blame the canadians. Oh sure, they seem like nice people, and they're all smiles and good times while you visit, but the minute your back is turned, they slip you a biological atom bomb in the form of Canadian SuperFlu.

It's because we don't have generalized healthcare, isn't it? Is that it, Canada? Don't take it out on me, I voted for Kerry!

Since my death is clearly imminent, I'd like to make out my will.

I hereby bequeath the following items and possessions:


To my editor, a huge stack of half-finished page art and a cosplay trophy for Master Craftsmanship, Nekocon 2002.

To my friend Krys, all my pretty pretty princess frocks and a bag of unbleached rice.

To my friend Kev, my vacuum cleaner which is really his but if he wants it back he'll have to trade me something for it because I need it more than him, on account of the number of rugs I own.

To my friend Paul, all my Hercules movies and the statue of Nightcrawler he gave me for my birthday two years ago.

To Deeg, that box of fondant going to waste in my cupboard. In fact, you can have it now, whether I die or not.

And to my family, I leave two energetic and rather dimwitted cats. May they serve you marginally better than they served me.

Anyway, soon as I feel better I'll post more pics from New York Comicon and Calgary Expo, including more shenanigans with Vic, a purse named Fandaniel and The Adventure of the Super Giant Candy Bar.
