A jet plane, actually… I’m outta here at noon today, heading out to the West Coast for holiday debauchery (I wish). Currently listening to Snow Patrol’s “Run” on repeat. Packed up my plane books: The Origins of War, Zelazny’s The Hand of Oberon, Chris Hedges’s War is a Force that Gives Us Meaning, and Mary […]

Why didn’t we protest like this? Oh. Yea. Cause we’re united. Also, there’s a movie coming out that addresses the genocide in Rwanda in `94 – and the movie doesn’t look half bad. Check out the trailer. There’s a great book about the genocide here. And, from the director of Hero, and starring Ziyi Zhang

It’s writers like these who make the rest of us look bad. You know what the best part about being a bleeding-heart liberal is? As long as these nutty people don’t hurt anybody or try and pass legislation on my bedroom activities, I really don’t mind sharing the world with them. They’re wacky and insane,

She was 12, and up until then, she’d played a boy-elf, because her parents had sternly warned her that if you

So, I’m not pissed off enough to rant today. Saw a mediocre production of Equus last night (It’s such a great script that it’s difficult to imagine a truly *bad* production of this show) that didn’t really piss me off. Got a bunch of crap on book one finished, and today I’ve just got one

Got an e-mail circular from the lead A/E guy here at the Workplace of Silliness – looks like we’re going to get 2 proposals we’ve currently got out that are closing up right now. One of our clients also just gave a glowing review of our A/E guy working in Iraq, so we’ve got kudos

Bush, Rumsfeld, and Powell take some time off to model for the Banana Republic catalog… Matt Cheney’s got a post up about some of the flack Strange Horizons appears to be taking for publishing a soft SF story… that’s about the sexual relationship between two women. Though I agree that the story would have been
