New D*CI Film Festival Website, End of the Rainbow Anthology, and Diabolical Plots Interview

Can't believe July is almost over. Sort of freaking out about it, actually. The @#$! grand jury duty isn't helping, either. It's become a tired refrain, but I'm so behind on everything I wanted to get done. Y'know, I'm really sucking at time management, or I still have too many hamsters on my plate. Or both.

Well, I did lob off one more hamster. Just finished overhauling fosteronfilm's Dragon*Con Independent Film Festival website. (Shiny?) And we did accomplish a couple major homeowner to-do items: ripped the carpet out of the half-bathroom (I have hated that carpeting since we bought the house almost ten years ago; who carpets a bathroom?) and replaced it with linoleum and had our poor, laboring air conditioner checked over and cleaned. But I never get much satisfaction out of accomplishing domestic stuff. More like a sense of relief to have it done and out of the way.
