As mentioned earlier, today is Game Day. We’re off to Philly this morning to watch the Eagles vs. Redskins game at 4pm. Yup, tailgating and standing-room-only tickets and everything.Definitely something I’ve never done before. Luckily, I’m always game to try new things. FGB has told me lots of things I need to know beyond the McNabb move, like that…
As you know from reading this blog (*waves to those who are newcomers*), I’m usually quite vocal about the origin of my stories. For one, knowing a little bit about them (beyond the title), helps you as a reader decide whether you even want to bother. For two, it helps those of you who are writers answer the everlasting…
(This one’s for the horror fans.) Today is not just the first of October (it rarely ever is), but it also marks the launch of Maelstrom — a new line from specialty press Thunderstorm Books. In honor of smashing the champagne, they have a one day only offer of three very special books: Brian Keene’s The Rising: Deliverance and…
It’s here! And it finally feels like fall outside! I am glad this month has finally arrived, even if it means losing the leaves on the gorgeous oak tree outside my bedroom window. To welcome in this spooktacular month (yeah, I went there), I thought I’d share with you this awesomely creepy tree I found planted right outside our…
Earlier this week, my dear friend Mary Robinette Kowal got a PO Box. It’s something I’ve put off for a long time. So when Mary mentioned the ease of procuring said PO Box, as well as her surprise that the costs were not nearly as high as she’d imagined, I kicked myself in the butt and clicked over to…
(Remember that whole list of warnings about dating a writer? This should totally be on that list. September 29, 2010 5:45 am (FGB comes back from the bathroom and gets back into bed. He checks his phone.) Princess: You’re awake? What time is it? Fairy GodBoyfriend: Like quarter to six. Princess: Whatcha thinking about? FGB: Nothing Princess: That’s always…
Major, major envy. Jim and Janet are so freaking lucky. And in turn *I* am lucky, because they are my friends and I love them. Isn’t it awesome how that turns out? Like clockwork. Have you preordered Return of the Dapper Men? I’m gonna do that right now.
One of the many reasons that I admire Leanna Renee Hieber is because she does things like this: dress up as her main character, win a costume contest, and then proceed to give a live YouTube interview as Percy Parker. Watching this sparks all kinds of mischievous things in my imagination. If I could dress up as a character…
I had some of the most fun I’d had in a long time last night. It was a veritable MST3K SharktopusCon on Twitter. Up-to-the-minute popcorn passing up and down the Eastern seaboard as we all tried to outdo each other’s cleverness and summarily died in fits of giggles. My favorite part might have been when Sharktopus himself replied to…
Hillery, my BFF down under, sent this video to me. You might have seen it before. I am going to share it with you on this fine Sunday morn because: 1.) It makes me smile. Hopefully, it will make you smile too. 2.) I am a geek girl 3.) I am a gamer girl too (tho not as much…
