It's weird seeing Neil Gaiman post from a convention you're at.  Like the crossing of a fictional world and my own.  I'm not entirely sure I believe he's a real person (despite having exchanged a few words with him on five or six occasions).

Today I'm off to work in The Green Room for a couple of hours, and then I'm on a panel on which books make good movies, then I'm free to go to things until 6:00, when I'm moderating "The year's movies in review." which should be entertaining.

I found out last night that I'm _moderating_ the panel Monday called "You're reading it wrong." which has Charles Stross, Tanith Lee and Farah Mendelsohn on it.  Which is going to be slightly nerve-wracking.

Right - shower and breakfast time - with any luck I can see most of China Mieville's guest of honour speech...

Before I go though - interesting article here on how children are badly behaved because their parents aren't, well, parenting. And I suspect the parents aren't doing so because (a) they haven't grown up around many kids and (b) they were badly parented themselves.  Time for a reboot, methinks.

ooh ooh fact - I used to know China about a million years ago when I was in the Socialist Workers' Party in London. He is really really lovely.

I haven't got round to reading his books yet :( my boyfriend says they are amazing. It just was really cool cos you'd speak to him and he'd say 'I'm finishing my novel' or whatever, and then a few months later there he was in the paper winning all awards and that! Awesome fella. He won't remember me or nothin', he used to know lots of people.

I'm very jealous of the Tanith Lee factor. I'd love to talk to her about her (excellent) Blake's 7 episodes.

Have fun!
