Tonight I went to a meeting of SF geeks. After about 45 minutes, we determined that the point of the meeting was to determine whether or not there was any interest in having meetings. *laughs out loud* At the end of the meeting, it was agreed that there appears to be some interest in having meetings. To that end, although actually sort of coincidentally or complimentarily rather than derivitively, The Irish Hat Girl is beginning a “Book Drop-In” in August. It is not a book club. Book clubs, as she…

Proposal idea #1 just flat-out needs more base knowledge than I’ve got. Gotta do research before I can go anywhere with it. (Oh woe is me, FORCED to read history books! And perhaps Jane Austen!) Anyway, yeah, really can’t go anywhere with it because I’m spending all my writing time reading Wikipedia. That’s not much use. So I’ll make a stab at Proposal #2, and pick up some research books (and perhaps Jane Austen!) soon. Yeah. Okay. Going to stare down Proposal #2 now. eta: I blinked. The proposal didn’t.…
WAYFINDER teaser!
Music tore the world apart. There was no rhythm to it, no melody to find, no predictable rise or fall to thundering notes. Instead it was the sound of instruments at war with one another, screeching and bellowing as they strove to be heard.

She had traveled between worlds twice before–once under her own power, which should have been impossible. Even then, though, the pathway between her home and the elfin world…
Transformers 3
Bearing in mind that I know perfectly well I’m getting what it says on the tin when I go into a Transformers movie, and therefore am generally okay with whatever I get, I’d say Dark of the Moon was distinctly better than Transformers 2, except it relegated the female lead to “object for hero to rescue” in a significantly worse way than the first two movies. Really, why not use a dog? It would cost less. They do, however, earn loads of points for (minor spoilers ahoy)
Bon Jovi!
I had a terrific time at the Bon Jovi concert. I’d gotten the “VIP Diamond Circle” package, because it cost the same as what I paid a scalper five years ago to go to a different concert, so I figured what the hell. It included a bit of swag–an actually quite decent bag, a program, a couple other things–and had a pre-show buffet and drinks and stuff. The buffet looked good but I wasn’t hungry enough to partake, so eventually I paid an egregious amount for a hot dog instead.…
