Decisions made

neadodsI just resigned from Reviewing the Evidence. When you have to spend that much time forcing yourself to even look at the books, much less read and review them, it's time to admit that you've got massive burnout and to let it go. At this point, I have no plans on even any pleasure mystery reading outside of Julia Spencer-Fleming and Mary Stanton's angel series. There's little pleasure left in the genre for me.
I'd already resigned from Firefox News a couple of months ago (which explains the dearth of articles about the regeneration, if anyone had wondered).
This leaves Unreality SF as my last opinion job. The good news is, it takes less of my time than RtE did (the audios are only a couple of hours long apiece) and after all these years in fandom, I'm hardly going to burn out on Who now.
The bad news is, the main part of it is reviewing the back Big Finish monthly catalog, and I'll have caught that up by the end of the year. Well, by then, Dan & I will have hopefully worked something out so I can carry on into 2011. And I'll have had a nice year off before I look to branch out into other areas.
In other decisions being made, I'm not going to Gally, although I'm making tentative plans to get there next year. (The whole point of this year is to spend itdead for tax purposes pulling finances, house, and life together so that next year I can think about other things than the mess in this place.)
I'm also not doing Media*West (for the first time in 20+ years; that's still stinging) or Malice Domestic. I keep flip-flopping on NY TARDIS. On the "go" side, I'll be seeing people that I don't often get to see and more attendees mean more likelihood of a regular Who convention that won't require my hauling ass across five states on a major holiday weekend. (It's run by the same competent concomm as ChicagoTARDIS and that means it'll be a good time with good guests.)
On the "don't go" side, I've got to worry about my finances before the concomm's, and while I have already bought a membership for next year's ChiTARDIS, I haven't put down a dime for NYTARDIS. And a year without conventions would mean both time off and money for other purposes... and I'm starting to preliminarily kick around a return to England around New Year 2011.
