It’s that time of year again! Yes, just as you’re ready to throw in the towel on that New Year New You resolution, here come the girls with brown and green sashes, ready to take your cookie order. This brings up another one of Mom’s Rules: Your parents will not bring your Girl Scout cookie order form to work….
As you might have noticed, I’ve been MIA from Teh Intarwebs recently. Part of it is being caught up with work (I suddenly find myself awash in manuscripts to revise, and I am not unhappy about the prospect) and the Ice Capades weather of DC, resulting in The Fairy GodDaughters getting not only MLK Jr. Day off from school,…
The Playstation Network has finally made Final Fantasy VII and IX available on Playstation Classics. I am in complete geek love. The FairyGodboyfriend wonders if me killing bad guys all weekend constitutes me being technically “off the grid.” You think about that a minute. I have some Materia to collect.
Over at my dear friend Lawrence Schoen’s website (you may know Lawrence as the King of Klingon), my other dear friend Luc Reid is grilled about the Codex Writers Group, his new e-book Bam! 172 Hellaciously Quick Stories, andwhat it was like to be a student in Lawrence’s class all those years ago. (Small world, isn’t it?) Luc was…
I have been asked to talk a little bit more about the now-infamous 2010 Christmas Pageant song “The Twelve Rules of Christmas” (Click here to watch on YouTube). Rule#1: No Decorating the Tree I believe this rule originated the first year we moved into the giant house in North Springs…so I was about ten and Soteria was eight. We…
When Leanna and I first came up with this crazy idea on the streets of New York City, it sounded silly. Sure, I could ask a bunch of my friends to wear tiaras on my birthday…but would they? Was this going to be the dumbest idea in the history of ideas? Was I going to regret my 1-11-11 birthday…
Tracy just pointed out that today was also Pig’s birthday from Pearls Before Swine! This is super special and awesome to me — you might remember, I’m a big fan of Stephan Pastis. He’s a super nice and crazy fun guy. He’s also a Talented Capricorn of Greek Descent — his birthday’s later this week. Some of you might…
…and it’s not even 11:11 yet! I already have tiara greetings from all over the world from humans, dogs, cats, fish…even piggies! The tiaras are wide-ranging and imaginative, and the only things I love more are the people wearing them. Here’s my birthday twin, author Richard Wright, who is currently in New Delhi and also celebrating a 1-11-11 birthday…
I am currently kicking myself. For my birthday, Dad got together an entire collage of the folks he works with at Knight’s Armament, all wearing tiaras. That’s right — crowns, books, and guns galore — and I left the CD on the dining room table. Mom put it in a box with the rest of my presents and it’s…
Due to…well…life, the Kontis Clan didn’t get to have Christmas until this week. We were all too excited to wait until Three King’s Day (today), so we opened the massive amount of presents (pics to come) and had a lobster feast before playing Cranium so loudly we kept the neighbors up (payback for their annoying dog). Once upon a…
