[16:11] * TerryOBrien is back
[16:11] <jp> hi kk
[16:11] <Mistyck> hiyas Katherine!
[16:11] <TerryOBrien> Hello Katherine!
[16:11] <Najjah> Just met Katherine 2 weeks ago at Worldcon
62/Noreascon 4
[16:11] <Debbie-VB> I'm glad I managed to get in here, My main
computerator is sick, and I had to use this older one which nobody
wants or it would have been sold a long time ago
[16:11] <KK> hi, ang!
[16:11] <KK> Gang
[16:11] <Debbie-VB> Hi Katherine
[16:12] <Mistyck> hey, ANG to me means Air National Guard!
[16:12] <babayaga> hi kk
[16:12] <Mistyck> ooh-rah!
[16:12] <Bynw> KK!
[16:12] <Mistyck> cool, Najjah
[16:12] * Bynw huggles Katherine
[16:12] <KK> No Guard here.
[16:12] <Mistyck> lol!
[16:12] <Mistyck> how was the Con?
[16:12] <Debbie-VB> How was worldcon?
[16:12] <KK> Good. Good panels. Good gaming. We killed the goat.
[16:13] <jp> Whats the word Katherine, any con crud to complain about
[16:13] * TerryOBrien is disappointed he couldn't make WorldCon this
year.
[16:13] <Najjah> And burned down an abbey...
[16:13] <KK> No con crud at this end, though Ann and Mancy and Martine
all had it.
[16:13] <Mistyck> yes, I heard the goat finally met the maker!
[16:13] * jp death to goats
[16:13] <KK> But it was a nice goat....
[16:13] <Mistyck> so did Pat and Kathi
[16:13] * jp life to goats
[16:13] <Mistyck> it was!
[16:13] <Debbie-VB> is this the same goat that ate the ring at
Darkover?
[16:13] <Mistyck> I kept the sucker alive, even though I fed it
laxatives!
[16:13] <KK> I guess I escaped because I'd had my crud 6 weeks before.
[16:14] <Bynw> cant get concrud at the con Psionics.Net will be
putting on in March
[16:14] <KK> That's the one.
[16:14] <Mistyck> lol!
[16:14] <KK> Ann found out that goats have 4 stomachs, and once
something goes into the first one, it doesn't move on.
[16:14] <TerryOBrien> Must be the same one we saved at GenCon last
year. (Was it last year already?)
[16:14] <Mistyck> yeppers, Terry!
[16:14] <jp> A goat ate the ring? Tolkien never mentioned that
[16:14] <Mistyck> yep!
[16:14] <Mistyck> lol, jp
[16:14] * Kelos_al-Hazar has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:14] <DeryniBot> Welcome Kelos_al-Hazar to all things Katherine
Kurtz
[16:14] <Mistyck> so how was the trip back home, Katherine?
[16:14] <Debbie-VB> not that ring Terry
[16:14] <Mistyck> hiyas Kelos
[16:15] <KK> Trip back was fine.
[16:15] <Mistyck> good!
[16:15] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Greetings to everyone... :)
[16:15] <Debbie-VB> hi kelos
[16:15] <jp> back at ya Kelos
[16:15] <KK> And we've just had 2 days of filming here.
[16:15] <Najjah> Greetings, Kelos
[16:15] <Debbie-VB> Filming??????
[16:15] <Mistyck> I spent an awesome week disguised as a
conference/training at a lakeside resort in Dallas :)
[16:15] <jp> do tell kk
[16:15] <TerryOBrien> Filming what?
[16:15] <Mistyck> oooh...filming?
[16:15] <KK> A TV movie that used us as a location.
[16:16] <Mistyck> cool!
[16:16] <Mistyck> american or bbc?
[16:16] * jp Camber of Culdi episode one?
[16:16] <KK> ITV/Granada Television.
[16:16] <Debbie-VB> i wish jp
[16:16] <Mistyck> ooh, coool
[16:16] <KK> A 1930 murder-mystery called Malice Aforethought.
[16:16] <Najjah> I concur with jp's wish
[16:16] <Debbie-VB> so it could show up on either US opr BBC
[16:17] <Bynw> Psionics.Net will be hosting an Online Game Convention,
the 3rd full weekend in March 2005. Details as they are made
available are posted at www.psionics.net/chat/events.html
[16:17] <KK> Starring no one you've probably ever heard of.
[16:17] <jp> itv, thats uk tv
[16:17] <KK> yep
[16:17] <Debbie-VB> we get a lot of ITV stuff here in North america
[16:17] <jp> does the ghost have a part?
[16:18] <Mistyck> Katherine, I've got most of the edits done on
"Jesse's Wedding" except for the ending...I'll try to make that less
rushed/hurried this week....
[16:18] * Debbie-VB makes a note to keep an eye open for the movie
[16:18] <KK> Ghosts made no appearances.
[16:18] <Mistyck> I took it with me to Dallas, but, a speedboat and
fun kinda got in the way :-D
[16:18] <Mistyck> :( on the ghosties
[16:18] <TerryOBrien> I keep hoping that they film an episode of
Doctor Who there.
[16:19] <KK> Anyway, we're back to usual schedule tomorrow.
[16:19] <Mistyck> that's good!
[16:19] <jp> Dr Who, back on our screens next year
[16:19] <Mistyck> woohoo!
[16:19] <babayaga> Mistyck: Then you'll get back to reading? (hint,
hint)
[16:20] <Mistyck> yep!
[16:20] <TerryOBrien> Hppe there isn't a problem getting the episodes
over here.
[16:20] <babayaga> :-)
[16:20] <babayaga> KK: do you mind if I ask a writing question?
[16:21] <KK> Ask away.
[16:21] <jp> I hope thay do a better job than the last lot with
Sylvester Mccoy
[16:21] <babayaga> now, don't run screaming from the room, please--but
synopsis writing? Do you have any tips?
[16:21] <babayaga> I find the novel was much, much easier!
[16:21] <KK> It's written in the present tense--and try to keep it
zingy.
[16:22] <KK> But also, keep it short. It isn't the novel, though you
should certainly cover all the key action.
[16:22] <babayaga> I was trying to find examples on-line, and haven't
met with much success ...
[16:22] <babayaga> right, 5 pages double spaced is what I'm seeing
[16:22] * Debbie-VB .oo(use every 25th word?)
[16:23] <KK> Another word for a synopsis might be a concept, or a
proposal, if you plan to use it to sell a book.
[16:23] <KK> For the whole book? That doesn't sound excessive, as
long as it keeps moving along.
[16:23] * Rhianyn has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:23] <DeryniBot> Chocolate, Cats, and Cheese just a few of our
favorite things here Rhianyn
[16:23] <jp> Isn't the synopsis for DR in DM or DA?
[16:24] <babayaga> I looked at the one in Deryni archives--but that's
longer, it seems, than what publishers are looking for
[16:24] <Mistyck> hiyas Rhianyn
[16:24] <Rhianyn> greets :)
[16:24] <KK> That's what they wanted in those days. Nowadays, they
want less.
[16:24] <babayaga> I see
[16:24] <jp> If in doubt, dumb down
[16:25] <KK> No, don't dumb. But keep it brisk and brief, so long as
you don't lost the gist of the story.
[16:25] <KK> lose
[16:25] <babayaga> what I have so far is 2 - 3 paragraphs of world
overview, then introduce the main characters and conflicts, then
outline of the action
[16:25] * the_Bee has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:25] <DeryniBot> Chocolate, Cats, and Cheese just a few of our
favorite things here the_Bee
[16:25] <Mistyck> hi Bee
[16:25] <jp> hibee
[16:25] <Mistyck> sounds good Baba
[16:25] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Tolkien got to sell Lord of the Rings without
much of this sort of weirdness...:sigh:
[16:25] <babayaga> Mistyck: it's sure a struggle, tho!
[16:26] <KK> Sounds aout right, especially if you can do all that in 5
pages.
[16:26] <Mistyck> i know!
[16:26] <Mistyck> it's hard!
[16:26] <babayaga> okay, Thanks KK
[16:26] <babayaga> domo arigato!
[16:26] <jp> What news on Childe Morgan?
[16:26] <babayaga> sorry, that should be domo arigato gozaimasu
[16:27] <KK> You might break it out into sections: a paragraph each on
the world, the characters (this might be 2 or 3), and one for the
conflicts; then a final paragraph on the action.
[16:27] * jp who's been reading shogun?
[16:27] <babayaga> hmm
[16:27] <babayaga> jp: writing ...
[16:27] <KK> Tolkien couldn't get a publisher at first. It took time,
even then.
[16:27] <Debbie-VB> I thopught she was quoting Queen
[16:27] <Rhianyn> synopsizing is the worst :/
[16:27] <Mistyck> Domo Arrigato was Styx not Queen
[16:28] <babayaga> and the less polite form ...
[16:28] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Specifically, the song "Mr. Roboto".
[16:28] <Mistyck> yeppers, Kelos!
[16:28] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Very good album in total, too...one of the
rare "story" albums that actually workd.
[16:28] <Debbie-VB> sorry Rita. I'm not that up on that that side of
the music biz. My taste runs more towards the New Age
[16:29] <Mistyck> lol!
[16:29] * Mistyck saw sting last night
[16:29] <Mistyck> and Annie Lennox
[16:29] <jp> Name dropper
[16:29] * Debbie-VB is slightly jealous
[16:29] <Rhianyn> I love her voice
[16:30] <Mistyck> but the concert from last month, Deep Purple was the
coolest! NASA gave the Band the recovered autographed CDs from the
Columbia crash...all the astronauts had autographed them
[16:30] * Kelos_al-Hazar missed an opp to see KISS and Poison in
concert, 'cause he didn't know where the Verizon Music Center was....
:(
[16:30] <Bynw> KK, barticus is back in Iowa ... he was here last
sunday ... maybe he will be on today
[16:30] * the_Bee thought Sting was a group till he guest-starred on
"Ally McBeal."
[16:31] <Mistyck> Ian Gillan had tears in his eyes and his voice was
all choked up as he thanked the guy from NASA
[16:31] <KK> cool!
[16:31] <Mistyck> Sting was the lead singer for "Police"
[16:31] * Bynw is at the mall selling candles and chatting too
[16:31] <Debbie-VB> last concert I saw was the one time Mike Oldfield
played North america
[16:31] <TerryOBrien> Only groups I ever saw was Hawkwind at
Conspiracy in 1987, and Chicago and the Beach Boys in a double bill
here locally on my birthday a couple of years ago.
[16:31] <Kelos_al-Hazar> How on Earth did CDs survive the crash?
[16:31] <KK> Are you selling lots of candles, Bynw?
[16:32] <Mistyck> don't know Kelos, but they survived!
[16:32] <jp> I saw P.J. Harvey the other night
[16:32] <Bynw> not as much as i would like :( but it will pick up the
more fall moves in
[16:32] <KK> Lots of things survived the crash, actually.
[16:32] <TerryOBrien> I missed a chance to see Jethro Tull in concert
because I was too young at the time (14).
[16:32] <Mistyck> yeah...some cloth patches made it back intact too
[16:32] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Freaky.
[16:33] <KK> This is not my kind of music, so it doesn't bother me
that I've never gone to one of their concerts.
[16:33] <Bynw> last concert i was at was Rush Vapor Trails tour
[16:33] <Najjah> My last concert was Pat Benatar, lovely voice
[16:33] <KK> Closest I came was a concert performace of Jesus Christ
Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl. But it did make me pay attention to
Andrew Lloyd Weber!
[16:33] <jp> Pat Bebatar?
[16:34] <Mistyck> Katherine, they played one of Deep Purple's songs
"Space Trucking" as their wake up music on the Friday before they
headed home...it was one of the astronaut's fav band (Kalpana, the
Indian woman)
[16:34] <Mistyck> Benatar
[16:34] <Najjah> Yes, Pat Benatar
[16:34] <Mistyck> she's awesome!
[16:34] <Mistyck> saw her last year
[16:34] <Bynw> i saw pat benatar live ... i think she is better
recorded than live ... i'm glad it was a free concert ... i would have
been disappointed if i paid money for it
[16:34] <Mistyck> and she saluted all the troops
[16:34] * jp blast from the past o-meter factor 10
[16:34] <Mistyck> Bynw, last year she did an awesome job live in a
small concert hall
[16:35] <Mistyck> she dedicated a song to the 9/11 survivors and the
troops in Iraq and Afghanistan
[16:35] <Mistyck> Andrew Lloyd Weber is awesome!
[16:35] <TerryOBrien> She was a guest on Charmed a season or two ago.
She and her husband still look like born rockers.
[16:36] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Please be in prayer; friend of mine's been
remobilised to Iraq...
[16:36] <Bynw> you can see pics of the mall from our cart in center
court on my webcam, www.psionics.net/webcam/ its from a couple of
weeks ago ..
[16:36] <Najjah> Do you know where in Iraq your friend is going?

[16:38] <Mistyck> Najjah, I'm Air Guard
[16:38] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Mistyck: I know. I don't know where he's
going...other than to Iraq, and did not ask.
[16:38] <the_Bee> howdy shiral
[16:38] <Mistyck> so I understand
[16:38] <Mistyck> hiyas Shiral!
[16:38] <Shiral> Nina is larger than formerly, and is convinced I
possess the Ankles of Evil
[16:38] <Barticus> nope I don't think so
[16:38] <Kelos_al-Hazar> He'll be gone a year... :(
[16:38] <Shiral> Hi Bart! How are you?
[16:38] <Debbie-VB> He may not be able to tell yopu where in Iraq he's
going
[16:38] <Kelos_al-Hazar> That's why I didn't ask... ROFL
[16:38] <Barticus> just great glad to be home
[16:38] <Shiral> Wouldn't you know it, KK's here and I was late. =o)
[16:38] <jp> so long as its away from the bullets and bombs
[16:38] <KK> Now, as she discovers that you leg makes a good
substitute for a tree, and starts climbing it....
[16:39] <Najjah> Understand the not being able to tell someone the
destination, didn't even tell my lovely wife Debbie the precise
location where I was
[16:39] <Shiral> This isn't a problem when I'm in long pants, but it's
been HOT here
[16:39] <KK> I hope you had absolutely NO adventures, Barticus!
[16:39] <Shiral> And my knees are covered with tiny scratches
[16:39] <Barticus> thankfully I did not
[16:39] <Shiral> Who is going to Iraq??

[16:41] <KK> That's excellent news! Long may it continue.
[16:41] <Rhianyn> Try getting through a house of seven cats in a beads
fringed skirt :D
[16:41] <Shiral> Well, welcome home, Bart
[16:41] <Mistyck> hi Annie and Dov
[16:41] <Bynw> Hi Dov, Annie
[16:41] <jp> As the only other brit here i can't afford to forget you
Annie
[16:41] <Annie> lol jp
[16:41] * Dov waves to everyone
[16:41] <KK> Rhianyn, do you have a death wish?!
[16:41] <Shiral> THanks, I think I'll forgo that experience, Rhianyn
[16:41] <Barticus> thanks:+)
[16:41] <Debbie-VB> Oooooo, major playtime
[16:41] <Shiral> I'm already the walking Kitten Wounded
[16:42] <Mistyck> hey, I had to tell a Brit to go shoot himself where
the sun don't shine yesterday at the concert!
[16:42] <Shiral> ALthough Nina is presently napping on my bed, looking
cute and harmless
[16:42] <jp> For why
[16:42] <KK> What do we hear about Mak's kittens/ Has there been a
recent website update?
[16:42] <Shiral> Not that I'm aware of
[16:42] <Bynw> Neko is gonna go see the Vet tomorrow and get some
"attitude adjustments"
[16:42] <Mistyck> he decided he was going to put on a heavy cockney
accent to defend him standing in a fire walkway, so I put on mine!
[16:42] <Shiral> We need to ask her, I think
[16:42] <Barticus> you got a cat while I was gone Bynw?
[16:43] <Bynw> yup bart
[16:43] <Shiral> She's probably overrun in lively baby cats
[16:43] <Bynw> there are some pics of him, not recent on my cam page
in the gallery
[16:43] <jp> Those bloody brits!
[16:43] <Barticus> awesome,you defintely needed to get one
[16:43] <KK> Bart, did you hear about Mak's FIVE kittens, plus the
rescued mom?
[16:43] <Debbie-VB> what kind of attitude adjustments? the babe asks
innocently
[16:43] <Barticus> no I did not
[16:44] <Barticus> it is nice to hear that some countries take care of
their animals
[16:44] <Bynw> basic round of shots (like distemper and the rest that
he needs) and getting his male impulses stopped
[16:45] <Shiral> A friend of Mak's daughters rescued a VERY pregnant
female cat from a river where the poor cat had been put to see in a
tupperware bowl with a little hole cut in the lid
[16:45] <KK> Mom cat's name is Jasmine, and she was rescued from a
Tupper tub afloat in a stream or river, and ready to pop kittens.
Mak's daughter rescued her and brought her home, and the second night
she gave birth. They're adirable grey tigerrs.
[16:45] <Rhianyn> thats called being teutered :D
[16:45] <Barticus> " cringes"
[16:45] <Shiral> Very cute little babies
[16:45] <Shiral> And evidently mama weathered her experience, okay
[16:45] <Shiral> But we all agreed whoever did that to the poor cat
needs severe punishment
[16:45] <Barticus> wow
[16:46] <Shiral> The kind of punishment normally given to Peer, around
here
[16:46] <KK> That would be about right.
[16:46] <Shiral> So......Katherine, any writing? she asks, in a wee
tiny voice
[16:46] * jp Imagines Dick Van Dyke as the chap from Mary Poppins
going up against The American Military
[16:46] <KK> Actually, some. But on the proposal for Hunting by
Gaslight, rather than Childe---though that's next up.
[16:46] <TerryOBrien> JP That would be Bert (or Bertie).
[16:47] <Barticus> that would be an interesting sight
[16:47] * Shiral sends KK irresistable writing Woodgies

Poppins
[16:47] <Shiral> Although the news about Hunting By Gaslight is
encouraging
[16:47] <jp> Hunting by Gaslight?
[16:47] <Debbie-VB> and hunting by gaslight is...?
[16:47] <Barticus> hunting by gaslight?
[16:47] <KK> Prequel to the Adept books, set in the late 1870s.
[16:47] <Bynw> WHOOOT
[16:47] <Bynw> sounds good to me
[16:47] <Barticus> aw cool
[16:47] <Shiral> I think Bart approves <G>
[16:48] <TerryOBrien> The ancestor of Sinclair?
[16:48] <Annie> not read the Adept books, not found any this side of
the pond :(
[16:48] <Najjah> I'm interested in teh Hunting by Gaslight as well
[16:48] <Bynw> or Sinclair himself in a previous incarnation
[16:48] * Debbie-VB makes a note to keep an eye out fdor that book too
[16:48] <Dov> my approval too
[16:48] <jp> I have some in stock Annie
[16:48] <Barticus> I've been waiting for another adept book
[16:48] <KK> Annie, who's taken over from Andromedabooks? Or, you
could order them from Amazon.com.
[16:48] * Shiral breaks out the tea table, complete with sandwiches
and cakes and tea for all
[16:49] <Annie> they are deffo next on my list KK!
[16:49] <Rhianyn> I've been waiting to find out more about Pippa but I
suppose this will be before her time
[16:49] <Debbie-VB> and amazon even has a UK branch
[16:49] <Mistyck> ooh...pre 20th Century Adepts!
[16:49] <Mistyck> I love it!

tropical storm stage, then. And Ivan very luckily passed to their west
