  • Holidays and avocados

    Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy most holiday decorations, though as an occupational (or perhaps serious hobby..ial?) hazard, I have a little more trouble with the music. This weekend has held some doozies, however.

  • Fated

    When I visited the parental house recently, a new laptop case was waiting for me. (My mother loves to thrift-shop as much as I do, or possibly more, and she’ll pick up things and stick them in my old room. It’s a surprise every time I come home!) My old one was slowly losing the…

  • Whiny Soup

    I had a great time at Orycon! I’m a little worn out, since my job has me working off-site at the moment, rehousing a collection, so there’s more travel time and learning about resources at the new location. But I thought I’d share with you the latest in what is apparently becoming a continuing series…

  • Orycon and introverts

    First off, for housekeeping, I wanted to let everyone know I’ll be at Orycon next weekend, November 11-13. If you’re around Portland, drop by! Here’s my schedule: Fri Nov 11 4:00:pm Gender and Writing Gender free? Gender neutral? Stereotyping? How gender affects our writing.

  • WFC 2011

    I am returned! This weekend I’m tentatively planning to throw up a few thoughts about Con Networking for Introverts, but for now, pictures below the cut!

  • Metaphor for bears

    First off! I’ll be quiet next weekend, as I am off to World Fantasy in San Diego! At this very moment, I am completely failing to get up and start choosing clothes to pack. I hope to see some of you there! I have a panel on Saturday: 5:00 PM Pacific 2/3: Who Wants to…

  • Border Collies

    Greetings, to any new readers who have wandered by due to seeing my cover posted other places around the interwebs (special thanks to Tez Miller!) I’ll note briefly that comments are Under Construction, as both I and my volunteer tech guy have full time jobs in other things. Fingers-crossed, so far as I’ve tested, you…

  • Beware of microwaves

    We had excitement around the office this week! Someone (who shall remain unidentified) put a polar fleece-wrapped heat/cold pack in the microwave and left it for far too long. The next thing the rest of us knew, there was a strange chemical-y smell in the hallway, and since we’re being good about safety procedures lately,…

  • Cover

  • Conversation of the night

    Me: You know what English needs? a singular gender-neutral pronoun. Friend: Yeah, that is annoying. Me: *finesses around it through great work* Friend: Finesse like a pro, baby Me: *eyebrow waggle* Friend: Handle those words. Make them like it.
