What have I been up to, you ask, since I obviously haven't been blogging this week? Well, among other things, this past week I:
*Met Merl Reagle, the local crossword puzzle creator recently featured in the documentary Wordplay.
*Bought a new computer and am planning my defection from Blogger.
*Served as a judge for the Education Channel's upcoming Independents' Film Festival. It was a Goldilocks night: the Irish film about an immigration scandal was too frenetic and choppy to follow; the black-and-white parody of 50's sci-fi films was too slowly paced to be funny; and the surrealistic Australian comedy was just right. Incredible and brilliant, actually. I'm not sure if I should mention the names of the films just yet, but I will mention this last film again on this blog. It's a movie everyone should see and I can't wait to own it on DVD.
*Kept busy with things relating to my book blog.
*Attended some of Slayer Con, the local convention devoted to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. I met villains Camden Toy, Mark Metcalf, and Jonathan Woodward (who was hilariously inebriated; more on that later).
And how was your week?

Where will you go from Blogger? I have been looking to defect myself, and I am at a loss. Also, congrats on the new computer! I am jealous...
I own my domain name of "tampafilmfan.com" through Yahoo already. I'm thinking about using Wordpress, but I'm trying to figure out how complicated it will be. I think I'm going to have to take the plunge and play with it for a while and see if I can figure it out. We'll see!
Which day were you at SlayerCon? I went on Saturday, and stayed for the Mark Metcalf, Camden Toy, and Vincent Kartheiser Q&A sessions. It was really nice just to be in the presence of others who love the show as much as I do!
BTW, found your Blog through a Google search (of course). :-)
I was at SlayerCon Friday night and on Sunday. Saturday I didn't feel well and stayed home. It was my first con and I enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by!
