walky walky pfd!

Hooray! I’m getting my PFD! I’ll have to call them tomorrow and ask if they’re mailing it or direct depositing, because I asked for it to be direct deposited, but since they had to dink around and decide if I was going to get it, I got a notification that said it wouldn’t be direct deposited, but the online thingy says ‘yes’ next to direct deposit, so, well, I have to call and ask. I have made Sarah stare very hard at me with the latest chapters of THUNDERBIRD FALLS…

aaaand you’re out!

Rejection letter from Luna on HEART OF STONE. Too romancey. Not surprised; that’s what I thought they’d say, but as Angie said, fie on them!

I only walked 1 mile yesterday. I shall have to walk MANY MANY MILES INDEED today. But it’s beautiful (if cold) out, and I feel prepared for the venture. Plus, homemade spaghetti with homemade bread for lunch. Can’t go wrong with that. :)

Warren Ellis

Thank you all for the invigorating discussions that’ve been going on around yesterday’s post. I’ve been having lots of fun. :) In today’s episode, I talk about how I hate Warren Ellis, which emotion is brought to you by this post: Love Will Kill Us All. It’s a short story; this week Mr. Ellis is doing internet busking, and when I’m done writing this, I’m going to go pay him for his wares, because God *damn* that’s good. It is not pleasant, but nothing he writes is. It *is* beautiful.…
