While most people around the country get the pleasure of becoming pyromaniacs for a few hours tonight, we here in Southern California only get to watch. Yes, I know that fireworks are dangerous, yadda, yadda, yadda, but I really want to teach my girls to write their names with sparklers, to watch the little worms grow when you light them, to have a spinner "zzzzzz" around on the ground. *sigh* I suppose it is for the public good. So, tonight we will traipse down to the park to watch the community display, provided that the girls are awake enough to do so.

In Lumos news, the Call for Proposals is now up. Go on, go take a look! You know you've got that great paper, presentation, panel or poster floating around in your head. :)

And whee, next weekend kicks off lots of fandom-type goodness. ConStruction, then HBP, then Comic Con, then a trip to Vegas for Lumos, yay!
