Today's blog entry was brought to you by the lovely and charming Lost Violet, the last time (so many moons ago) that I needed to fundraise through sponsorships. I know, right? I haven't forgotten the remaining dates, I'm just...slow, sometimes. Things happen. I am trying to get on top of them, though ( Read more... )

Three years ago today, Deborah and Andy, who are dear, dear, beloved friends of mine, decided that getting married would be awesome ( Read more... )

Okay, so here's the thing:

Shaenon Garrity, who wrote Narbonic, is having a big-ass party at Borderlands Books to celebrate finally putting out the big two-volume collection of the comic's entire six-year run. It's an epic comic, and it's an epic book, and we're going to have an epic time. I used "epic" three times there, and that's sort of like ( Read more... )

So the fifth October Daye book just came out. One Salt Sea, available now from a bookstore near you. The first mention of this series that I can find in this journal is from July, 2001. That's ten years. And even that post says "this has been going on for a while, this isn't new, this is only new hereI remember having someone who was one of my ( Read more... )

So yesterday? Yesterday is so, so completely fired, from the 'so tired I literally fell out of bed slapping for my alarm clock' to 'creepy guy follows me to the art store' and 'art store is entirely out of the damn card blanks that I'm looking for.'

Today is brought to you by...

...RAE!

Now, Rae and I first met through Veronica Mars fandom, where my tendency to travel into alternate dimensions and steal copies of the local television listings attracted her, and her tendency to be witty, clever, entertaining, erudite, and capable of cramming more ( Read more... )

1) Visited a genuine Alabama WalMart. It contained lobsters. Lobsters. In WalMart. The universe no longer makes any linear sense whatsoever. Also, lobsters ( Read more... )

* I'm not currently quiet because I'm sick, I'm currently quiet because I'm in Alabama, land of 'no, Seanan, you can't go into the storm drain to see the alligators, we don't have a SWAT team standing by to remove your remains.'
