Randomosity
Because I’m still recovering from finishing my revision (whew!), I offer up a random assortment of things:
1) If you have any interest in writing/publishing, check out this amazing clickable roadmap from the YA Highway. It links to a plethora of fabulous articles on different craft and business topics.
2) If you have any interest in the future of space exploration check out this article on the Curiosity, the new Mars rover about to land this week, and an interesting critique of NASA’s PR.
3) I am playing a video game for the first time in decades, and enjoying it. The game is Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, which I first read about here. I love the music, love the simple, dreamy, magical graphics, love the mix of puzzle-solving and (very simple) fighting.
4) I have added a new place to the list of sites I would love to see in my lifetime. The incredible striped hills of the Zhangye Danxia Landform:
Amazing!
5) Speaking of travel, I am going on my next big vacation in just a month from today! Bob and I are going to England for two full weeks. We’ve rented an apartment in Chipping Campden for the first, and an apartment in London (Chelsea) for the second. Eee! We’re hoping to live like hobbits for the first week, hiking around the Shire Cotswolds and stopping in pubs, and hopefully visiting Oxford. In London we have tickets to see the Ceremony of Keys at the Tower of London, WICKED at the Apollo Victoria, and a too-long list of must-see sites. It’s my first trip to England, so any suggestions are welcome! Especially tasty food recommendations!
