I need to actually work this weekend, so...

...while y'all are free to continue discussing the Hugos here on my blog, I am declaring comment amnesty for myself on those two entries, in favor of accomplishing things that have deadlines.

Have fun!

Off Topic Harrumph, Tongue in Cheek version

I thought you should know. My mom loves you best. :scrunchy lips and narrowed eyes:

Though honestly, this is just between you and Jim Hines.

I told her about Jim Hines' books and how nice a person he is, because he had a signing ten minutes from her house today. And she agrees, he seems very nice. How lovely that he has written all those books.

However. I also played "Wicked Girls" for her. "Counting Crows" and "Wicked Girls." She now demands to know why you are not famous, and wants to know whom she should blame in popular media, since the radio has clearly failed her by never bringing her your music. She thinks your voice and songs are incredibly beautiful, and it can only be that people associate you with books and not music that has kept you from a deserved life of musical fame. Also, you dedicated the first Toby book to your mom, and this means you can only be good.

(I hoped you would get a smile out of this.)

Reply not required, in the interest of not adding to head explodiness from too much to do.

Your mother pleases me. :)

She also pleases my mother.

I read her your reply, which also pleases her. Joy all around!

You’re declaring preëmptive pants-bankruptcy.

Basically, yeah. If I let arguing about fannish things interfere with word count, my agent murders me.

A thing that may please you: I finally got around to obtaining and playing 'Thirteen' and I actually recognised your voice on 'Mal's Song' before I confirmed online that you'd sung backup. I devoutly wish I'd bought it sooner; it's a lovely album and I intend to gush all over Vixy and Tony about it on Bandcamp.

Aw, yay!
