I am very careful with this blog post. I’m going to put the caveat now: there is no ONE person who has triggered this blog post. If you read this and think, “Oh crap, it’s me she’s talking about!” I assure you that you were merely a drop in a bucket that just overflowed.

I am being deluged by email interview requests.

I’m not sure when it started, ( Read more... )

Need I say that this post will contain spoilers? Cause it will.

Lots.

Let’s throw in some space. And some Jamie Bamber.

Wow, Tuesday’s post about social networking and the link caused some discussion! I want to bring up a couple of points.

SG was chosen because it was on my mind, but it was a poor example as you have to register with the site to be able to comment. It doesn’t change the fact that many times I got a lot more comments on previous columns *and* this ( Read more... )

My latest Suicide Girls column is live. This one has some bad words and talks about erotica, so I am lifting my usual “the site isn’t safe for work but the column is” statement.

And I’m very pleased with this one. I planned this for several weeks, thinking about what I’d say, how I’d write it. I think this is one of the best I’ve done for the site ( Read more... )

Scott Sigler has been challenging people on Twitter to tell him why to vote FOR Obama instead of AGAINST McCain or the Bush administration. I suck at debate, so I don’t enter these discussions, but it’s been making me think. Why do I want to vote for Obama?

First, I vote democratic 99% of the time. I am pro-choice, pro-education, pro-feminist, pro- ( Read more... )

I struggled with whether to post this here or at I Should Be Writing, but I figure this isn’t about writing, this is about dealing with readers/listeners. I wonder if I should be posting it at all, but I also worry that Twitter didn’t allow me to express myself fully enough last night. So I want to talk about stuff here without the limitations of ( Read more... )

July has been a blur, what with the sewer line backing up, very expensive repairs, attempts to redo a bathroom ourselves, a cancelled vacation, house guests and a birthday party.

Because I’ve been blogging more for other sites (I will blog about MINE soon), not to mention my Suicide Girls column, I’m finally caught up with my RSS reader. I was ( Read more... )

The concept of “burning bridges” has been fascinating to me because it’s such a complex social construct. It’s not just the simple act of doing something that severs contact with another party, damaging the relationship so it’s irreparable. There’s a lot of social hierarchy and power involved.

When I was at Red Storm, I had an altercation with some ( Read more... )

The Takeover has NOT podfaded! I went on vacation last week and then my computer had a hard crash and I lost all the stuff I’ve worked on in the past 2 weeks, including the script for episode 4. So I’m working on it as fast as I can.

The good news is that I have a special treat planned for episode 6, which will run around July 15, so stay tuned!
