Effort vs. Payoff

Posted in editing, metaphoric crap that is supposed to mean something deep but probably doesn't | 5 Comments
I tried my new Ebelskiver on Easter morning. I kept it fairly simple – just your basic chocolate chip pancake mix. Not that making full on chocolate ones stuffed with peanut butter wouldn’t haven’t been totally awesome, but I like to give things a trial run before I waste a lot of time prepping something that might just end up getting tossed out. Anyway – first thing I learned? Don’t fill the little wells up all the way like I did in this picture. They cook too quickly on the bottom, but not enough on the sides/top to actually flip over with the skewers. By the time I could flip them, the bottoms were horribly burned. Lesson learned. Next round I only filled them part way up and it was much better. According to the directions, I should have done that from the beginning, but where’s the fun in reading… Read more

I Can Haz Title

Posted in book stuff, title | 10 Comments
Well, it’s official: Book 1 has a real title now: A Brush of Darkness. I’ll admit it’s a little sad to have to retire “Shadow of the Incubus”, but I understand the marketing reasons behind it. Plus the new title is full of win. I love it. 🙂 That being said, those of you who happily participated in the title ideas blog post sort-of contest will all get a free copy once it comes out. (Assuming you want one and you get a hold of me with an address.) KAK – you’re getting something a little extra special, just for coming up with the win that is Bacon Pants. Hook up with me offline (or Facebook). 🙂… Read more

Stealth Perk

Posted in updates | 2 Comments
I’ve probably only mentioned a few hundred times now that I’m not overly fond of getting my picture taken. Mr myn has taken to trying to catch me unawares. Ninja Photography, maybe. You can see I caught him at the last moment there. I look decidedly unperky, but I assure you I wasn’t nearly as grumpy as it probably seems. (Although maybe part of that was because mr myn kept referring to me as “Jennifer Love Geekit.” He likes the hair. He hates my Crackberry addiction.) This was taken Wednesday night just before the concert. Unfortunately none of the actual concert pictures turned out very well, but the venue was just gorgeous, and we hung outside for about 40 minutes before the show started, soaking in the sunset and the spring air. See? Look? I can sorta smile –> Sorta. LOL. Though I seem to have gotten Charlie’s Angels kinda… Read more

Something Tells Me Phineas Would Not Approve…

Thanks to ThinkGeek, of course. Maybe he’d like the Tribbles-N-Bits, better? I know I’d prefer the My First Bacon doll, myself.… Read more
