I heard back about My Sister the Vampire (recap because I can't remember if I've mentioned it - established series, their writer had to stop working on it so they were looking for a new one, and I sampled for it). I didn't get it, but apparently I was an extremely close second and KB was very very nice about my sample and said that if the publisher ( Read more... )

A short animated film of a ten minute Tim Minchin beat poem/science rant.

Naomi Novik's baby.
It's a cute baby. It's got a dragon.

Gneils blog today is particularly full of cool things.

I only have three more days before I'm off work for Christmas. AHAHAHAHAHA hooray for failing to go on holiday ever. I have writing to do and some choir, but I do not have to get out of bed in the mornings. SO MUCH WIN.

So, Minecraft!

Ohhhh. I thought I was a lot better when I left the house this morning. Now I am at work and pretty sure I am not a lot better. I think I might not be any better. Still, there is almost nobody else in and even if there were they would say go home. So I am just going to do a few catchy-uppy things and then go home. :S ( Read more... )

Goodish week/end. CEFC concert on Saturday was pretty awesome - I loved all the music, even the Palestrina (it's not that I actively dislike Palestrina, it's just that... certainly in rehearsals it felt like the dum-de-dum-de-dum Standard Classical Music that you have to get through to get to the Grieg and Bruckner and Bedford and Tavener and ( Read more... )

Today I got to work nearly a whole hour early (... I, er, got 7am and 8am confused and it was too early for coherent thoughts when I woke up, you may mock me if you wish), and I have just watched the World Cup opening ceremony (which was really awesome and hugely energetic) and compiled a double-length Dinosaur Cove storyline which mostly involved ( Read more... )
