In which I declare my liking for the Hugo-nominated graphic novels

I enjoyed the Graphic Novel category of this year’s Hugo nominations, a lot more than the novels. For one thing, I only threw out two of the nominees barely read. For a bigger thing, I liked all three that I fully read, even though one of them requires reading a whole stack to understand the […]

My brain is not happy in this heat

I got a good bout of writing done this morning, before it got too hot to think. Sorry none of that writing is going to appear here. (Goes off to hide in the air-conditioning.)

Got a toy for the TV and I hope to ditch the cable bill

Remember when I said we downloaded Game of Thrones to watch? The whole time I was thinking, Where’s that little mini PC I ordered from Dell? And then I thought, It’s a good thing that its shipment was so delayed I couldn’t expect it until after Readercon because turning it into a Boxee is going […]

Still in recovering from Readercon mode

Oh, to hell with it. I don’t feel like writing about Readercon tonigh

I survived Readercon and all I got was more books to read

I survived Readercon by spending most of my time writing and socializing. I also went to some panels, bought a couple books, went to a couple kaffeeklatches, and heard a couple readings. I’ll post my notes after I’ve looked up names, etc. Readercon is also a great excuse to go out for Sichuan food. It […]

Readercon is also raspberry week

The raspberry harvest always peaks right around the week of Readercon. I have quarts and quarts in the fridge and the freezer. I offered up a pint of raspberries to the con suite. And there’s still more raspberries that I don’t have time to pick because of Readercon. Hang on there, raspberries, don’t drop off. […]

Re: A Game of Thrones (TV series)

One of the things that’s kept me so distracted lately is downloading “Game of Thrones” series and watching them over the course of a week. It was awesome.

Back to sorting out the verbiage

Today I’m back to sorting out what I’ve written. This story is like a kind of madness. It’s going to make it very hard to pay attention to the madness of Readercon. I think I’m going to be one of the jerks in the back row with a laptop pretending to listen. Here we go.

Another thousand words

This morning I got caught up in the story again, and when I came up for air, there was another thousand words. I guess the writing frenzy hasn’t dried up after all. Looks like I’m bringing my laptop to Readercon. Oh yeah, Readercon. What am I going to do?

In which I give a big fat raspberry to the Hugo novels

It looks like the latest writing frenzy has dried up for the moment, so this is my chance to sort out what I’ve been reading. I have to say, I don’t have a lot of patience for this year’s Hugo-nominated novels. I finally decided that I’ve read about as much of them as I can […]
