I had this peculiar and complex dream this morning that someone was trying to destroy the Marvel Universe (and no, this mysterious villain was not a shadowy figure with giant mouse ears). The interesting thing about this particular dream was that it wasn’t an attempt to destroy it from within. Someone was trying to eradicate it from the real world. Joe Quesada (the current editor in chief) was next on their hit list, and there were creators who had been entirely eliminated from the timeline already. Claremont, in fact, wasn’t…
quiet week
I’ve taken most of the last ten days off. I don’t remember a vacation in which I’ve done, or thought, so little about work in the past two years. It hasn’t exactly ignited a passion for work in me again, but the idea doesn’t seem entirely unbearable, which is good. Unexpectedly got started on the RUNNING WITH THE PACK werewolf story yesterday. I believe it’s going to be a Regency tale of love and revenge. With werewolves. In 7000 words or less. o.o Got the second set of revision notes…
a few last things of awesome
I know I’ve fallen down on my Awesome Stuff postings, but I’ve barely been online the past couple days (the intarwebs, they are growing increasingly dull…).

My only objection is I feel they’ve overlooked a one-sided infatuation line from every male in the Marvel universe (excepting Nate Grey & Cable) to Jean Grey. Possibly my favorite aspect: they have a specific color…
short list of awesome
If I myself were more awesome, I would have more awesome lists today, but instead I’m sleepy and have only two. :) Ben & Jerry support Vermont’s new gay marriage law by renaming “Chubby Hubby” ice cream to “Hubby Hubby”. :) The BBC publishes photos of newly-discovered deep-water jellyfish. And aw, heck, just for a third, have you checked out National Geographic lately?
awesome & yet self-aggrandizing
Today’s awesome things are all about me (I swear this wasn’t the plan when I started this on Sunday). :) First, today is the official release day for WALKING DEAD, book four of the Walker Papers! As far as I can tell, everybody I know bought it two weeks ago, but still, today is the official release day! Seattle’s a great place to live…if it weren’t for the undead. For once, Joanne Walker’s not out to save the world. She’s come to terms with the host of shamanic powers she’s…
