I posted a Teachout vignette called "The Landlady" over at the WP blog, if you're looking for something to read today ...

I have a confession to make, y'all.

I read fan fiction. Glee fanfic, to be precise. I actually haven't read fanfic since Buffy, and I could sit here and analyze the hell out of why I feel that Glee lends itself better to fanfiction than Buffy did, and why I can't read Doctor Who fanfic at all, but that is not the post I want to make today. (Or ( Read more... )

So I've got some links to give y'all ...

Tangent Online reviews Beneath Ceaseless Skies 120, which is the issue my story, "The Drowned Man" appeared in.

Locus Online also reviews BCS 120.

And I have a WordPress blog, which has (and will continue to have) basically the same stuff as I have here, but will, I hope, not go down due to Russian ( Read more... )

So 2011 was the Year of Change, and 2012 was the year of What the Fuck?

This is the last week of two-day-a-week preschool. Next week is a break, and then the Zweeble starts pre-K every morning.

In an interesting turn of events, Z. starts school that Monday, I start teaching on Tuesday, and Scott starts school on Wednesday. I, however, am the only one of us not required to be up at 7am. ("Not required" does not ( Read more... )

Today the husband is off to the school to see about possibly testing out of gen ed courses and transferring some credits. I am off to the doctor's to have my yearly exam and talk about various things that will prevent a Zweeble 2.0. I love the kid, but he's more than enough.

Our weekend was really nice--we hung out with jkason and David, and went to ( Read more... )

So the Lovely Husband has been out of work since March. Which is, as you can probably imagine, where a lot of the stress and chaos in my life has been coming from. The job market stinks, as we all know, and Scott wasn't entirely sure he wanted to keep on with radio production--things in radio look kind of scary, to be honest. And so there has ( Read more... )
