Made of Scars
Posted in blog, dragon age
Leave a comment
Someone shared this on my gaming site a few weeks ago, and since I’m rather heavily invested in my latest Dragon Age 2 run-through, I thought it was rather apropo. Poor Anders. Plus, I *really* dig the music. (It’s Orchard of Mines by Globus, btw, in case you are interested…and essentially what they’ve done is set lyrics/reworked a bit of trailer music by Immediate Music, but it’s still pretty epic.)…

Working on It
Posted in blog, Lucy, sick, updates
Leave a comment
So to speak. I’m getting a little tired of constantly reporting on the negatives. Intentions being what they are, I had so many plans for catching up on the writing this weekend. And I did, a little. Still have a little more to do today to finish my daily wordcount. (Though right now I’m horrendously distracted by the premiere of A Game of Thrones on HBO. Right. This. Minute. *ahem* Hellllooo creepy blue eyed dead girl.) Alas, poor Lucy is still not well. Her fever actually spiked close to 105 last night (about 3 or 4 in the morning). Some Motrin brought it back down, but it was a long couple of hours. And considering I’d gone to bed at 2 AM, well, let’s just say intentions are great, but little sleep makes for a cranky author. At any rate, Lucy’s also picked up a hell of a hacking cough,…

Friday Afternoon Updates
Posted in blog, sad, ye ye
Leave a comment
Obviously I wasn’t really online yesterday, partially because I was so busy and partially because there’s a certain sacredness about a funeral that does demand your attention. Or it should, anyway. Overall, it was a very nice day. My father-in-law wasn’t particularly religious, so it wouldn’t have made sense to do the usual sort of pomp-and-circumstance type funeral. He wasn’t actually Buddhist either, but much of his family is so there were a lot of little touches in that respect. I actually found it to be far more comforting than other funerals I’ve attended. Maybe it’s because it was so relaxed and laid back – there was no priest, no overtone of forgiveness or sins or anything like that. (Yeah, I come from the Catholic background – every funeral I’ve been to has been dark and depressing and terribly solemn.) We had a table set up with his picture and…

J Crew WTFkery
So I’ve been skimming the interwebs the last few days trying to distract myself, and I came across some pretty weird crap. Not that I want to get into full on discussions about it here or anything, but I thought I’d throw some of it up here for the peanuts to see. So here we have J. Crew and this picture of the CEO painting her 5 year old son’s toenails pink. It’s in the catalog and apparently it means that the transgender apocalypse is coming. Or something. The article is ridiculous, btw. Why don’t we chastise women for showing their ankles while we’re at it? I honestly don’t understand the argument. After all, if the picture were of a girl playing with a truck in the mud, would anyone care? Lifestyles and clothing have been changing for as long as people have been around and strangely enough the world…

Bitten By Books Smackdown!
Just a heads up that A Brush of Darkness is a finalist in the BBB Smackdown. More details about it here, but go on over and throw your hat in the ring to defend the book of your choice. (And you don’t even have to choose mine – there are so many good one out there!) As an aside note, I know I haven’t updated much in the last week or so. Obviously there’s a lot I want to talk about as far as last week’s RT Convention went, and I do have plans to write up a recap, but about an hour after my plane landed on Sunday night, my father-in-law had a sudden stroke and passed away Monday morning. So…things have been a bit sad and hectic around the house the last few days. I’m hoping to have things back on a more normal track by next week,…
