Hey there! I really want to start updating this place more, but I've been swamped lately. So many preparations for a big move! I'll be moving to Montreal on Monday, in my first ever apartment. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I am supremely excited, stoked, ecstatic, every one of those words. This also means unknown internet access for a while, aka - I don't know if, or when, I will be able to get online. It might take a little while, from a couple of days to a couple of weeks...so until then, I won't be able to find a routine for this place. BUT. As soon as I get internet set up I'll make updating this place a regular thing, with book reviews and advice and questions and maybe even contests, oooh!!! Basically: I might be absent for a while, no one worry, I'm simply moving in the cutest apartment ever. Yay!
Salut salut! Je veux vraiment commencer à mettre ce blogue à jour régulièrement mais je suis débordée dernièrement! Je déménage à Montréal lundi, dans mon tout premier appartement. BIEN ENTENDU, je suis super excitée, extasiée, etc. Par contre, ça veut dire un accès limité à internet pour un certain lapse de temps. Je ne sais pas quand, ni même si, j'aurais accès à Internet. Ça pourrait prendre quelques jours, voir quelques semaines, alors jusque là...pas de routine pour les mises à jour. Mais dès que j'ai internet, je vais m'y mettre! J'essaierais d'être présente régulièrement, de faire des critiques de bouquins, et même des concours, ouuuh!! Bref: je serais absente pour un moment mais pas d'inquiétudes, je déménage tout simplement dans un bel apart!
(Ah oui, et aujourd'hui c'était ma dernière journée à la librairie. Elle restera toujours LA librairie pour moi, et je vais vraiment mais vraiment m'ennuyer. :( J'ai appris tellement de choses et rencontrés tellement de gens! AHHH. C'est la fin d'une ère!)
There you have it, the title of my book! It was the first that came to me, but I didn't know how solid it was. After looking around to see if there was another book of the same name and finding nothing but something that seems like an out of print play on a totally different subject, the title was strengthening in my mind. I then asked the lovely folks over at AQC what they thought, and got positive results. So for now, either definitively or until an agent/editor/publisher tells me to change it, you can find posts about the book under the tag/label bunkered.

Petit post sur Ottawa ComicCon, qui est en fait une convention de bédé et de trucs genre Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr Who, etc...un peu nerd, en fait. Mais c'est bien, on rencontre des gens qui aiment les mêmes choses que nous, on voit des stars avec lesquelles on a grandit sur nos petits écrans...J'ai aimé l'expérience, c'était la première fois qu'ils planifiaient ça à Ottawa, et malgré les files d'attente c'était bien! J'espère que l'année prochaine il y aura plus de choix dans les activités, et que ce sera dans un endroit plus grand, parce qu'on manquait un peu de place.
Well well well! This was last weekend, but I didn't have a chance to write up a post yet. I had a lot of fun, although Saturday was kind of a miss for us since my sister had been looking at the wrong day of the schedule, thus making us miss a few panels we wanted to attend...Still, we got a good long look at the exhibitors (??? in anime conventions it's usually called the dealer's room but I think it's a little different for ComicCons) stuff, and got a handful of cheap comics. I'd been meaning to get into that for a long time, so I'd bought Watchmen and The Killing Joke a couple of years ago. I'd enjoyed both, but then not known where to keep going, or where to go from there. But the Con made me more comfortable about asking around for advice, because everyone was so friendly and welcoming! I'd been enjoying all these Marvel movies (or, the Ironman ones, mostly) which made me even more curious. Having seen the Avengers twice just before the con I was in full on MUST KNOW MORE mode.
Salut salut!
