I had a dream this morning that Operations from La Femme Nikita was trying to get me to dive into a visibly empty pool, though they claimed (and I could feel, when I walked across it) that it was filled with invisible blankets so I wouldn’t kill myself. Everyone else was diving into the pool. Operations was so frustrated with me he was making throttling motions in my direction, and he hadn’t yet decided he was going to kill me, although I knew that was the penalty for going against…
Year: 2007

The ink is drying on the deal memo, so I have a green light to announce that there will be three more Walker Papers!

Fairbanks Vs. Moscow: Fight!
So I was just checking out the photos on today’s , and the first photo that came up said, “The view from my university window around 3pm.” I said to Ted, “Why, look!” and he looked over and said, “Fairbanks?”, because by God, it looks exactly like UAF, and I’d been about to say, “Fairbanks!” to finish my, “Why, look!” Only then I noticed the subject line, and the photo was taken in Moscow. That is *so weird*. I defy any of my UAF friends to deny that it is…

has a draft she wants to finish by month’s end. I want to finish the HANDS OF CHANGE draft before PCon. We’re going to make a mad dash for the finish line over the next few weeks, though I think is about 800 times more likely to actually *reach* the finish line than I am. I’d have to actually do a chapter a day for 20 straight days (not quite straight: I intend to take weekends off) to pull off finishing it before PCon. It’s not impossible. It’s not *likely*,…
charmed :)
Ted and I just came back from watching “Music & Lyrics”, the new Hugh Grant/Drew Barrymore movie.

So I was predisposed to like it, but I in fact found it *completely* charming and smiled all the way through it, except the parts where I laughed out loud. Hugh Grant as one of the two front members of…
