I did not get to LX until Saturday night thanks to the uselessness of minions who would prefer to have fun rather than tending to My desires.

I have nibbled on some brains, including that of Tim Powers, which had a most pleasant flavour. I have also been to the panel about why minions are daft enough to like cats. It was most interesting.

I have been tweeting more, as My iPhone has been set up now.

Some pathetic minion who will be eaten last seems to think that he is not going to take Me down to Bradford with nojay and amend_locke tomorrow morning. I have told him I do not devour musicians (except the odd filker, by accident) but he seems to think that I ought to travel with minion feorag.

He is also moaning about being granted the honour of bearing Me from the Hilton to the convention hotel, saying that I am "bulky" (is he calling Me fat?) Special minion desperence will not be there, either. Do I have any minions staying at that hotel who would take on the great honour, at least until feorag shows up on Saturday.

I am at Novacon, supervising Ina Shurrock who is sticking labels on envelopes. auntiealice is proving to be a very special minion indeed, and will have her preferences concerning the Inevitable taken into consideration.

The bed in the hotel room is very small, but they have provided a "single" roll out chair bed, which is very much sized for Me. The minions are distressed that the pool is not open, so I have told them about the Brine Pool in town. I am hoping they will take Me with them, as I could do with a spell in something salty.

I have noticed that feorag's new laptop contains everything needed to produce a fanzine except the printer. I will have to search for a printer, as the Unnamable is well overdue.

I have not been enlightening you with tales of My trip to Japan, but now the minions are trying to sleep and have left a computer where I can get at it.

The convention was good. I enjoyed brain sashimi from Joe Haldeman, Naomi Novik and others. I will make the minions post photos soon. Many, many women did tickle Me under the tentacles.

Now I am in Tokyo, and I have a bed to Myself and I have been able to set the weather up to My liking, though this is why the minions are trying to sleep and are not actually asleep.
