I was born an old soul, hyperaware of my own mortality and convinced that true happiness was possibly the hardest thing in the world for anyone to achieve. My earliest memory is me, at four, sitting on the toilet in our small house in Vermont, staring at the 70’s era burgundy and orange wallpaper and thinking, “Great. This is…
Pearls Before Swine PLUSH FIGURES. SQUEEE!!! I’ve seen them first hand. They look really, really nice. I am a huge PBS fan. I interviewed creator Stephan Pastis for the Genre Chicks a while back. Completely fell in love with the man.You should too. You can get Zebra, Croc, Pig, and Rat for only about $6 apiece, and shipping’s pretty decent…especially…
The subject of my next piece of artwork is a Brazilian witch named Bruxa Evora. My goal was to make her look a little like Morena Baccarin. NOT Tricia Helfer. I think it’s the eyes. And the chin. And…everything. Did some paint-overs last night. Got to love acrylics. Now if I could just get this stupid Bob Dylan song…
So I was working on some questions for my upcoming interview with to talk about his novel trilogy…which led me to EscapePod for a production of his short story "Pervert." Since I was in the neighborhood, I decided to catch up on my Hugo Award nominees, so I listened to "26 Monkeys, Also the Abyss" by Kij Johnson, "Exhalation"…

Not about the huge lot of repairs my car suddenly needs, or the Unabomber squirrel who’s taken up residence in my attic, or the convention season I’m about…
An interview in which Rich Dansky calls me a really cool person, and I proceed to act like a Geek Extraordinaire.
(Okay — technically I’m at Exit 76, but that’s how the song goes.) The area right off Exit 76 is like a war zone. You used to take a left and stop at a traffic light right in front of the new hotel…there’s not a traffic light there anymore. I don’t mean it’s out — I mean IT’S GONE. You…
This picture was taken from the Toot’s parking lot, about 100 yards from my house. Mom, I AM OKAY. I’m at work.Whether or not I still have a house remains to be seen. I will be so mad if my teddy bear went to Oz without me.
I’m trying to kill myself with busy. It’s absolutely fantastic.Which means that, apart from Twitter, I haven’t been around much. The storms haven’t swept me away. I’m still here. And I still have my camera. More pics here.
