Indeed…it appears that oddness abounds this fine, nearly spring morn…
Is an entire e-mail I just sent to exsulis which, I thought, sounded rather nice and I would share with all you Normalinauts out there…
Take, for instance, this incoming referrer link…

from a French Doctor Who forum. I say thank you random French person, whoever you are, and I know that such a thing makes exsulis all warm and fuzzy inside!
In unrelated news, Terry Pratchett, as we all know, has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. But it recently came to light that he has donated a “princely sum” to Alzheimer’s research, and asked that his fans do the same…
You can, of course, donate directly, or if you’re like me, or you like T-shirts, you can do this…

I could write about how just two weeks ago my wife, out of the blue, got offered her dream job in Seattle (we currently live in So. Cal., for those keeping score) and now we are moving next week. I could go on about how we don’t actually have a place to live in Seattle…with much detail More >
Skelebunnies and My Next Novel
about 1 year ago - 2 comments
Has anyone read Skelebunnies? And if so, is it as awesome as it sounds? And if so, how is it possible for anything to be so damn awesome?
And I know that gilgrim is shaking his head as he reads this, no doubt, since Skelebunnies is published by the same good people who published his own More >

So I’m, per usual, sitting in a Starbucks trying to work on a short story (and alternately laughing at the comments on this page about Alan Moore being a hypocrite) when this older guy at the table next to me says “How are you doing today?”
OK
For those unfamiliar, when you are sitting in Starbucks staring More >

So last Friday I was informed by my students that spring break was this week. And it’s a good thing to otherwise I would have shown up on campus Monday. The problem, though, is that since I didn’t realize I wouldn’t be teaching this week my bookmines schedule remains the same, and I More >

I’ve already mentioned it but, seriously, is anyone watching Important Things with Demetri Martin?

Bookishness is in my blood…god help me

I mean, I have a master’s in English, an MFA in creative writing, teach writing and I work in a bookstore. You all (all six of you) know this. Everyday, though, I am starting to become ever more concerned about the state of publishing/books/literacy in this country.
Remember the HarperCollins is just Harper’s thing More >
Second Post Today, Also Not a Comic
about 1 year ago - 4 comments
See, I have free time today between class and work. I also have a short story to finish but there were some news style items from the past week I wanted to highlight.
First off, HarperCollins is now just Harper, I guess. It was announced this week that the Collins division (and Bowen Press) More >

Just because I taught myself French from a book, and conversing with one of my customers doesn’t mean everyone else will spend the time to do that as well.
