Back from Boskone

Got up. Got out of bed. Dragged a brush across my head. Went out. It was fine. Never had to stand in line. Got back. Had a nap. Dragged a cat across my lap. And that’s enough of that.

Boskone 2009

Unlike Readercon, which I eagerly await, Boskone always sneaks up on me and suddenly it’s time. Though it actually started last night, I’m going to Boskone just for today and tomorrow. I may not post anything Sunday night. I’m planning to have lunch with my teachers and cohorts from the Ultimate SF workshop. There’s lots […]

The R moved

The Red R on the front of my car is still there, but it moved–to my new plates. I came prepared to wait at the Registry, so I waited and knitted. Exchanging my plate was a breeze. Then came the moment of truth: could I get the new red plate into the front holder?

Meanwhile my car plate gently weeps

It’s not fair. My car never read The Scarlet Letter. So why does it have to wear a big red R? There isn’t even anything wrong. It’s the license plates that didn’t pass the inspection it received while I knitting (lots of knitting) last Friday.

Happy to be here

You will have to excuse my typos and arrant maunderings, as I am trying to wrap my arms around the cat occupying my lap and several acres of warm quilt. When you’re a cat, in your accustomed spot, at the accustomed hour, purring the accustumed purr, life is good. I think I approach that feeling […]

Change without changing

It’s still cold outside. I’m still knitting. The orchid is still opening. I’m still fighting with my current story. And there’s still six guppies.

Boring!

I’m sorry, but today was just too boring to talk about. Ran errands, found what we were looking for, blah, blah, blah. The cold wasn’t all that unbearable. The cats didn’t bother to look cute. Meh.

Why bother?

Looking at another midnight coming up with zero interest in finishing what I had planned to post today. I can’t even claim I has the dumb or the sleepy. Maybe it’s the season. Maybe it’s the approaching anniversary of starting this blog. I just seem to be stuck in the “Why bother?” phase.

ZZZZzzzz-snort!

Fell asleep. Oh wait. Did I post anything today? Ummmm. (rub eyes, massage scalp) Oops, guess not. Do I even remember what I was going to post today? Nope. Forget it. I’m going back to sleep.

Why I’m not posting anything today

When I fall in love with a book, it’s hard for me to describe it without making it sound stupid, let alone explain even to myself why I like it so much. I was going to try to write about one of them, but just taking a quick look into it is sucking me back […]
