Spring has sprung! It’s still damn cold, but I see cherry blossoms, so I’ve convinced myself that pretty soon the winter jackets will have to be stored away. Then again, come February, isn’t everyone slightly delusional that spring has arrived? Unless you’re lucky enough to live somewhere where it’s warm all year round?

I am SO excited to be going to New York at the beginning of April for I-Con. We’re trying to stay for a few more days in Manhattan somewhere, just to feed that New York craving a little bit. My husband’s never even been there, and it’s kind of indescribeable (pretty sure I spelled that wrong), so I’m hoping that works out. I am also hoping there’s a BIG turnout for the convention, since now’s the time to get the buzz generating for "Serenity". I’m hoping it will build higher and higher and higher, so when the movie actually opens, the theatres will be packed to the brim with people.

We’re all pretty thrilled with the responses the movie has been getting at the ’test screenings’. I wish I could be there, hiding in the back, just to hear those reactions. They need to do one in Vancouver!!

Oh, Happy belated Valentine’s Day. We had "tandem" massages (that’s the couples massage where you’re side by side with two masseuses... spelled that wrong too, didn’t I?), and pink champagne, and went to dinner at our favorite restaurant. The massage was very good, but I was really sore the next day. I made the mistake of telling my (male) masseuse that I could handle a lot of pressure, because I’m cocky like that... and the next day I had trouble putting my shirt on, I was so sore. I feel great now, though. I think it sort of pays off a few days later.

I think I’ve done enough blah-blah-blahing for right now. Will report again soon.

Take care...
