Because I actually did have a book near me.
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next four to seven sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest [unless it's too troublesome to reach and is really heavy. Then go back to step 1].
6. Tag five people.
Bendix laughed. "Of course not! Time has to end somewhere. But there's a problem with the very mechanism that controls the way we've been scooting around the here and now for most of eternity."
"And that is?"
He looked left and right and lowered his voice. "Time travel has yet to be invented! And with the entire multiverse one giant hot ball of superheated gas contracting at incalculable speed into a point one trillionth-trillionth the size of a neutron, it's not likely to be."
(Um, whoever)

I love my new job; it pays well, I'm getting a ton of experience, I'm not as bored as I was teaching in Japan, and I'll be considered for a raise in three months. WHEE. Plus, tentative travel plans for Japan, Taiwan, and China. I'm trying to figure out a time to visit Europe, but I'd really like to spend at least three weeks there, so I think I'd best accumlate vacation time and spare money so I can go on a bit of an adventure!
Plus. I'm home with my family and friends (friends? what friends?) and I really need to un-recluse myself. I want to attend more cons in the USA, but I'm not sure which ones I can make it to, if any.
I kindasorta wish yaoi-con is in LA, if only because of the entirely selfish reason that my sister is there and I'd be able to kill two birds with on stone. There's also Anime Expo, but I might leave that for the next time since it's huge and I like small cons a wee bit better. Any suggestions for cons? I'm keen on going every which way since I want to see parts of the US I haven't yet seen.
