It's the end of an era. Arthur C. Clark, Isaac Asimov... and now Ray Bradbury.

R.I.P Rad Bradbury

Author of Fahrenheit 451 and The Martian Chronicles

Ray Bradbury — author of The Martian Chronicles, Fahrenheit 451, Something Wicked this Way Comes, and many more literary classics — died this morning in Los Angeles, at the age of 91.

Whatever this bug I picked up is, it really likes to kick my ass. Every joint I have ever injured in the past is throbbing like a bad tooth. The queasies are no picnic either. I stayed up late last night so I could pre-order a limited publication. I ordered one for me, and one for a friend who said he couldn't stay awake long enough.

I didn't get up until almost 10am. I think Loki was a bit disconcerted that his human was still in bed so late in the day. He snuggled up, and gave me a few head snogs and head butts to wake me gently. And when I peeled one eyelid back, he started purring so loud, I thought he was going to shake his bones apart.

I still see a nap in my near future. And hopefully no one will wake me up this time.

I need a pet psychiatrist

Loki is worse than a limpet mine. I really wanted to sleep in, but his furry-godliness wouldn't let me... not until I fwapped him with a pillow. (Before you dash off to call PETA or ASPCA, no animals were injured, and that includes me!)

Everything from mid shoulders down is giving me more grief than usual, but thinking about how the con was a 5 day photo shoot, I'm not overly surprised. Got some great photographs. Still wading through them.

This is what I have so far:
