Listening to Minnesota Public Radio coverage and feeling a little teary and oh so happy. Last Friday, the state House voted to pass a bill that would legalize marriage between two persons - regardless of gender or sex. Today, just now, the Senate passed the bill as well. Governor Dayton has promised to sign the legislation ( Read more... )

Well actually, I just realized I didn't make this first announcement here so let me cover my IRL relief and excitement: I got confirmation this week that I'm getting my Masters!!!!! YES! I only have to apply for my teaching license! No more fucking hoops to get my degree! EEEEE!

Second, I just found out that my story Bare Hands has been nominated ( Read more... )

For F*%# Sake.
( SRSLY )

So about two weeks ago I read Ring (yes, as in the novel that inspired the Ring films in Japan and the USA). I really enjoyed it - it was very interesting and I enjoyed thinking of how it was translated into English (and kept having to remind myself to flip around the driving side rules when imagining).

Yep, I'm going to camp! April is Camp NaNoWriMo and this will be my first attempt! I'm hoping to write for either my comics-bb or scifibigbang claims.

...is frightful discourages the non-outdoorsy from venturing out. Thus I am relaxing in the hotel room while roomie & her mom trek into nature here along Lake Superior. Today looked just too windy and freaking cold to appeal to my (rather limited) sense of (outdoor) adventure - not that I'd be up for a long hike anyway ( Read more... )

The Cat Lady is an absolutely astounding game all around: artistic style, soundtrack, story, characters, and jesus christ the emotions. There's a demo on the site to download to try it out, but I promise you it is worth every penny to purchase it. I almost wish now that I had bought a hard copy, but I am very happy with my download of the game and ( Read more... )

If we haven't e-mailed each other, you're missing out on how horrible I am with coming up with subject lines. 9_9;; I worry about my future in titling blog posts ( Read more... )

Catching up on shows from this past week. Watched the Rizzoli & Isles finale - very good! Interested to see who takes on the baby. Sad that the seasons for this show are so short, but I do believe they got renewed so there should be more ( Read more... )

Has it really only been three days? I'm not nodding off at my computer (yet) like I was last night - though I was doing it rather quickly this afternoon in the office. I am so not made to behind a desk, though admittedly that should get better after I'm more adjusted to my schedule and I have more active projects ( Read more... )
