So, almost six months into fighting classes, and I’m still loving this kicking-ass thing. Had a good class last night. Wore a newer sort of shirt that really, only waifish petite women should wear (says the media – smaller straps, more breathable material, tight-fitting), but damn I was comfortable, and when I got a look […]

I don’t understand what a bunch of hysterics find so scary about some rural 17-year-old kid who says that yea, mom and dad, I think guys are pretty hot. I mean, *I’ve* been a rural, 17-year-old-kid who was like, “Yea, mom and dad, I think guys are pretty hot (and that chick in speech class

So, which of these is the Washington Post article, and which is the satirical Onion article? Sorry, these are getting uncomfortably close for me. No wonder Jon Stewart’s doing so damn well. And my, my my – more pulp magazine covers! (not quite work safe)Pagan lesbians and all (definately a freeper’s worst nightmare)! I just

In the mean time, you may be interested in amusing yourselves with John Rickards’s latest pet procrastinating project – and check out these inspiring passages from John Kerry: the novel. Ahem. Yes. Anyway. Back into the trenches with King Nathin…

I don’t need to bother, of course, cause I’ve finally gotten through Vandermeer’s King Squid. I set myself the task of finishing up Vandermeer’s City of Saints and Madmen, which I’d gotten halfway

More fear-mongering here. Your wireless network could be in danger!!!! EVIL THINGS WILL HAPPEN! Spammers could sit outside your house and… and… SEND SPAM. Oh, please. Wardrivers are primarily just geeky guys who go around using other people’s internet connections, for fun, and marking out for other people where they can get a handy connection

Working on Over Burning Cities this morning, creating files for all of the outlined chapters that are yet to be done, so I can get a sense of pacing. I’ve got them looking like this: Chapter 10 (RB).doc; Chapter 11 (Roh).doc; Chapter 12 (L).doc — The letters in parentheses tell me which POV character that

OK, I hate Condi Rice’s foreign policy. I think she’s a big bully. But you gotta give the woman props. I do agree with the critique of the choice: Bush is getting everybody in top positions who agrees with his politics (yes. This is a Bad Thing. Surrounding yourself with a bunch of people who

Check out the oh-so-cool Worth1000’s “If Pirates Ruled” photoshop contest. It made me quite happy. I’m especially partial to Barney the Pirate and Cap’n Jack reading Oprah Magazine. Frickin’ classic.
