If I roll over on my exercise ball I can see them from my computer desk, bright even when it rains.

Launch http://maureenbush.com/wp/2010/10/17/cursed-launch-2/ http://maureenbush.com/wp/2010/10/17/cursed-launch-2/#comments Sun, 17 Oct 2010 18:49:29 +0000 Maureen Bush http://maureenbush.com/wp/?p=1005 Cursed! is launched into the world, at a lovely launch attended by many of my favorite people. They energized me through a terrible cold.

The spirit man stood by my side, keeping everyone in line. And I sent them home with buttons to keep on spooking them. Just in time for Halloween.

Derek Mah recommended I bring something to do in the quiet times, so I found directions for a (simple!) origami dinosaur. I bought some way-too-small origami paper at the Galt Museum, so anyone in Calgary can come and watch me struggle with teeny tiny little folds.

Or, you know, talk to authors and buy books. Should be fun!

I’ve been invited down for a kids event associated with their new dinosaur exhibit. I was thrilled that they wanted to include an absurd story about a dinosaur model coming to life, with what I assume is a serious exhibit about the science of dinosaurs. I should have called the talk Where Fact and Fantasy Collide.
