Yes, the camera got washed with the Fairy Godboyfriend’s kilt, so it’s a good thing that I took a ton of pictures with my phone this trip. There are quite a few decent photos, especially of the fabulous costumes at the Harry Potter Yule Ball. It was an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING TIME. Possibly the best Dragon*Con ever. But then, I…

That’s right — I’m back from Dragon*Con, the Internet is back up, and now my website is cooperating so I can post again! Of course, I still have that pesky bookstore day job (and Fairy Goddaughter the Elder’s Birthday) so you won’t get all the info at once…but you’re okay with that, and I thank you for your patience….

The Internet is down, again, just like it was when we moved in. Every time this happens, it’s a fiasco with Verizon. I think the last time they had to send out a total of eight trucks.

A few years ago — 2009 to be exact — I decided I was going to bring the unicorn back. I missed it. Not as something to bastardize or make fun of, but the honest-to-god legendary immortal being of magnificence and power. I remember reading all sorts of historical books about unicorns when I was a teenager, so I…

The migraine monster has been raging for almost a week now, the fairy goddaughters have come home from vacation sick as dogs, and Dragon*Con is in less than two weeks. I can do this. I know I can.
