Okay, so.

I sprained my ankle several months ago, and sprained it bad. Like, a lot worse than I've been letting on, for the most part. I'm receiving medical care now, and walking with a cane most of the time, and wearing compression bandages, but the fact remains that I hurt myself real bad and then ignored it in the hopes that it would go away ( Read more... )

I'm home today on sick leave; I'm just exhausted, and my little cold wants to become a big cold, which is frankly not to be borne. Not with Reno right around the corner. Meg has my Hugo dresses to be taken in (only a few inches, so it's not a major undertaking), I have my shoes, I'm almost packed, and I'm tired. So this is a day for being still ( Read more... )

I'm going to be Guest of Honor at the upcoming Gafilk, and that means I need a set list. I have time to work up some new material, and don't want to do a) parodies or b) more than two covers, max. I'll have access to Vixy, Tony, Mary, Amy, and maybe others. So...

What do you think should go in my set?

It's time to lock down my set list for MarCon, so as to get chords to Tom Smith and lyrics to Judi Miller. So...

Any requests?

If you're planning to attend Consonance, and did not have a concert in 2009, you can totally sign up for a concert in 2010! Email me-do not use the LJ messenger function-and let me know you're interested, and we can has out the details as to when and for how long.

Hope to see you there!

It's July. It's July in California, the state where the only seasons are "wet," "dry," and "actually on fire." So why, can anyone tell me, am I wearing a sweater and running a space heater more often than not? It's like my state-never a paragon of sanity to begin with-has completely taken leave of what few senses it had to start with, and I am ( Read more... )

10. Alice-short for Alice Price-Healy Little Liddel Abernathy McGuire-is six months old today, finally making the transition from "age measured in weeks" to "age measured in months." (This is followed by "age measured in years," but I try not to think about that too hard. It makes my brain make a funny and unappealing noise.) She continues to be ( Read more... )

It looks like I will be having a book release party at the Ohio Valley Filk Festival. Yay! I've been asked what food I'm planning to have there, for the standard "are you bringing it in/are you giving us money and asking us to shop for you" lay-down, so I put it to you, the floor:

What should we be serving? My budget is limited, so please be ( Read more... )

* Apparently, I have a buffer limit ( Read more... )

(This is a very rare cross-post from my professional journal. Please be patient with me, I just want to make sure everybody sees it.)

So as most of you hopefully know by now (or will be delighted to discover), I'm about to be the Music Guest of Honor at DucKon 18. The convention is legal this year! It can now vote, get drafted, and buy ( Read more... )
