The Beginning of the End

Posted in blog | Tagged , | Leave a comment
I don’t usually make resolutions. They look good on paper, but in all honestly unless you make that mental connection to just do it, then the words don’t really mean anything. Jeffe’s post on sea change had me thinking on that a bit today. The vagueness of so many goals out there just lends itself to failure. (i.e. I resolve to lose weight doesn’t mean anything. Is that a pound? or 50 pounds? Better to have a tangible goal, I think, than just a general one.) Same with writing. I see a lot of that this time of year. I resolve to write a book. Finish a book. Edit three books. Etc. Those are still too vague and too easy to let slip away under the enormity of it all. A better resolution might be to say, “I’m going to write 1000 words a day.” or “Twenty pages a week.”… Read more

Too much free time, but so, so awesome. Especially because I bought mr myn the entire remastered Robotech series on DVD for Christmas. 80+ episodes of robot/space/Minmae glory, yo. (Yes, I realize this cardboard robot is from Gundam Wing, but close enough, right?)… Read more

Bear Head

Posted in bear head, blog, christmas, review | 3 Comments
Funny thing about blogs. People read them. Like my dad – who ran into my post about Bear Head. As a bit of a lovely Christmas surprise, he actually found the bear head ornament and gave it to me. 🙂 So here it is, in all its hot-glue-gun glory, nestled among the bottles of vodka and appletini mix my aunt gave me. I’m not really sure why I put it there for the picture, but perhaps my subconscious is suggesting that to understand the pure awesome zen of a decapitated bear head ornament, one must essentially be soused. I shall have to ponder that this evening. (Whilst stuffing my face with my home-made meringues. Thanks to @KAKrantz for stopping by today to help me make them! And for the awesome Hello Kitty flannel PJs! Which I will show tomorrow.) In the meantime, yay for a lovely review of BoD from… Read more

ARC Awesomesauce

Posted in anne bishop, blog | Leave a comment
So. Um. Awesomesauce agent Suzie Townsend sent me the ARC for Twilight’s Dawn. Which I received about 5 hours ago. And which I have just finished. Not going to review it, but…yeah. I’m going to have to reread that last story, I think – I wish it had been a little longer and a bit more detailed in places. But the ends fits. That’s all I’m gonna say. 🙂… Read more
