Dakster Sullivan will be taking a much needed break from trooping this weekend. After participating in almost every day of Star Wars Weekends, her body is in need of some rest. Instead, she plans get caught up on some reading as well as work on some new write ups for GeekMom. Her husband is looking forward to a quiet Father's Day and doing some maintenance on his Jango Fett costume.
Laura has never been separated from any of her four kids on their birthdays. Till now. One of her kids is away at a wonderful summer engineering co-op. To console herself, she's writing about research indicating that fetal cells remain in the mother into her old age where they can help heal illness and injury. She wishes this could help with her current case of poison ivy. The damn bumps are even on her face.
Ariane made a pact with her husband: no restaurants for all of June! Considering they were ordering take-out just about every other night, this is a huge challenge for them. They are considering upping the ante, new electronic gadgets if they can make it two months!

Sophie had a brilliant time at Can't Stop the Serenity Nottingham on Sunday, drinking "Kaylee's Grandpa" cocktails and buying a ton of Serenity merchandise. She rounded off the night alongside 30 Browncoats crammed in a tiny living room singing along to "Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog."
Jules Sherred had a very mixed week. Instead of focusing on the negative things – like horrible banking errors, leaving her without access to funds for eight days – she wants to focus on the positive. One of those positive things was last Friday, when the author of The Zombie Tarot Stacey Graham joined her on the Geeky Pleasures Radio Show for a crash course on tarot reading, plus three tarot card readings. It should be obvious that The Zombie Tarot is a lot of good fun. She also participated in this week's SF Signal Mind Meld, where she talked about her literary crushes, or lack thereof. She is also making final preparations for her five week stay in the USA – T minus 16 days and counting before her departure from Canada.
Rebecca Angel is enjoying the lovely weather in upstate New York. She completed her week of Party Camp, after months of planning and research, and all went well. She may be teaching an electronic music camp at a local college too. Other than that she is going to whittle down her to-do list so she can work on fun projects and maybe even read a book!
