Ta-da! I know, I know, it’s taken me forever and there’s not *that* many…but the migraine and the Con Funk smacked me down and I’ve had to fix them up in fits and starts. Join me on my journey to and from Dragon*Con — including parades, corset shopping, my hot friend Simon, and Kevin Sorbo. I do, of course,…
It happens every year: directly after Dragon*Con I get sick. It usually begins presenting itself on Monday, as I’m making my last rounds and putting everything together to leave. There’s the achiness (the full scope of which I can’t ever really tell since it pales in comparison to the hell I’ve put my feet through in the last 4…
Another FABULOUS review for AlphaOops: H is for Halloween, this time from Kiss the Book. My favorite part is at the end where it says ESSENTIAL in all caps. I know it’s technically a category this particular site puts books into, but it still gave me warm fuzzies. Click on over this way to see the rest. I have…
My dear friend Mary Robinette Kowal tweeted a link to this article the other day and brought it to my attention: Fairy-Princess Ranks Depleting As Girls Aspire To Be Doctors, Lawyers Now here’s where the Onion’s Beaureau of Statistics has got a loophole. Yes I am, for all intents and purposes, a Fairy Princess. I have called myself such…
…the one hosted by Betty White, no less! (Betty White is my homegirl. I adore that Snickers commercial with her. You know the one.) This is how I got mentioned on Saturday Night Live: There’s a segment called “Really?” with Seth and Amy (though it could be done FAR better — and should be — by Kelli Dunlap). At…
The lovely folks over at the Provo City Library in Utah have a fabulous blog where they review books from their collection. And they reviewed AlphaOops: H is for Halloween, dontcha know! I won’t spoil it for you…but I will say that they seemed to like it. Thanks, Provo City Library! (Want to find out more about this library?…
For Dragon*Con folks checking in — the Dark-Hunter Party is tonight! Compete for prizes and a chance to be a character in one of Sherrilyn Kenyon’s upcoming books. The grand prize winner will be featured in her newsletter and on her website. Come one, come all and get your geek on! Friday — TONGHT! 8:30PM, Int’l South (Hyatt)
One of the great things about a Con as huge as Dragon*Con is living through it vicariously. Thanks to all the newfangled inventions the whippersnappers of the twenty-first century have drummed up, there are tons of ways you can check out what’s going on as it happens…and even before it happens. There’s already a buzz going on Twitter if…
By now you’ve heard if it — China’s massive 11-day-and-counting gridlock traffic jam. It apparently started with an overabundance of cargo-bearing trucks and was compounded by road construction. There’s already a microcosm blossoming with its own population and economic system of supply and demand. And more importantly…where are these poor people going to the bathroom? Some of you may…
So I’m packed for Dragon*Con–finally–and I’m waiting for my nails to dry. (Typing on a keyboard is a lovely way to do that without seriously screwing them up.) I’m terribly behind on my geek street cred: I never finished watching the last season of Doctor Who (mostly cause I didn’t want David Tennant to leave), nor did I watch…
