of writing and spending and meeting and things
Spent Saturday in London, Earls Court, for the London Film and Comic Con. This was purely to meet Scott Bakula and get him to sign 
Just need Jolene now, and I have all the main cast, but I wouldn't say no to the likes of Gary Graham and people, either.
Anyway, Scott coming over was cool, because I didn't ever expect him to. And he was lovely - despite being a total machine signing signing signing. They said he absolutely would do anything but just sign his name, but when he saw everyone else had written their character name on it, he also wrote 'Archer' under his siggy for me - and was just generally very lovely, and touched me on the arm when I told him he was a star and thanked me - lovely guy, even after over 700 siggys!!
Anyway, Dominic Keating was there too, and we passed over birthday cards etc. for him. Mine was a little rude (Said 'LOOKING GOOD...for an old fuck.') But then Sal outed the fact it was my birthday, so he signed an 8x10 for me which said 'Happy Birthday from the ol' fuck' Sweet! and he chatted to us for quite a while, so we bought him a beer.
He said he'd been to see my tree at the Natural History Museum - which was sweet of him! And he's gonna take his other half to see it too, which is cool.
Haven't had any birthday presents yet - but I'm going to buy myself these in the week:
This is the computer mock-up from the 'design your own' on the website, the grey of the earsocks is actually much grey-er, the frames are 'plasma' and the lenses 'ice iridium'. I'm going to go and get them in the shop, because there's one which has a make-it-yourself bar, sorta thing, where they'll make you the glasses right there, so anything you don't like/want to change, you can do. So I'll get them Tuesday, I hope! Ready for my hols next week.
Jojo and I are going for a week in Dorset, to a stonecarving festival, which will be awesome. A week together, no work, no mobile phones, no internet (mainly) we'll be camping in a friend's garden, although they won't be there most of the time, so we're pretty free to explore, stonecarving, lazing about and all that. Can't wait to spend some relaxing time with him.
Today my Dad sent me the book he wrote - 20 yrs ago, he wrote it, and it's just languished on various computers since (he found out the only copy he had was on a 3.5" floppy!!) I made him save it to his computer today. Silly man. Anyway, he's sent it to various publishers/agents, but never got anywhere. It really inspires me, though - even though he hasn't been published, he's still trying. And I love the way he writes. I also flatter myself that our styles are quite similar, despite us writing entirely independently, and me writing long before I ever read anything of his. Nice to know it might be in the blood though!
