I slept through my alarm again this morning, flung some coffee down my throat, and rushed across town in the twenty-degree cold snap, only to find the school closed due to inclement weather. It was as though a giant booming voice out of the sky had said "YOUR WISH IS GRANTED ( Read more... )

It was like one of those nightmares where you find yourself standing in front of a huge crowd of expectant people, and you realize that you have no idea what you're supposed to do or say. They all sit in their chairs, and look up at you, and wait for you to entertain or inform them. And you stand there ( Read more... )

And the groom, who is one of my oldest friends, looked incredibly happy. But ( Read more... )

I've just gotten home from a Book Arts Guild event. (How very official and disconcerting, especially since I'm not actually a member of said Guild. I need to print out a copy of their form and send them a check.) It was a talk by a guy who's currently a librarian at Pratt, and who's also a book artist with a fair amount of background in ( Read more... )

This morning I overslept very badly. I know I set my alarm clock to the proper time last night, but then I either forgot to flip the little switch that allows it to make noise, or I was simply so exhausted that I slept through it ( Read more... )
