The best laid plans o’ mice an’ men gang aft a-gley. So we are not going to Europe in May, because doing so was contingent on the retention bonus. Nor will I be going to any conferences this summer, for precisely the same reason. If anyone I know would like to go to Writer’s Weekend, I’ve got a registration paid for and there are no refunds, so I’ll either sell it to you (there’s already a break in the price, as I’m a WW alumni) or if you can make…
*drool*
I want this. It isn’t rational; for one, I have no idea where I’d ever wear it, and for two, it wouldn’t fit. I don’t even think it’d fit if I was 20 pounds lighter, because I’ve always had big boobs and while it’d probably (almost certainly) fit in waist and hip (it almost would now), the boobs, they get in the way. But *augh*, because it’s *beautiful*! I *wants* it! O.O I got my retention bonus check from Caremark today. This is a check that I expected to be…

That was actually pretty nice. My stupid shoulder still hurts, but the headache is gone. Yay. :) More geekiness. Comic meme answers so far, behind the cut tag. miles to Rauros Falls: 129
comic book meme :)
And the morph of the tv show character meme: the comic book character meme. If you all don’t know who my favorite X-Man is, I’m going to point and laugh at you. :) 1) Post a list of 10 comic books you read (current or cancelled!) 2) Have your friends guess your favorite character from each comic 3) When guessed, tell us why you like that character 1. X-Men. There is one screamingly obvious answer to this one, but the X-Men get subcategories. The answers are *different* for each subcategory,…
reading
Just spent the last few hours reading ebear‘s HAMMERED, which was good enough to make me feel inadequate. This is normally a reaction reserved for writers like Guy Gavriel Kay and C.S. Freidman, so that’s some rather nice company. And it’s silly, because I just don’t *write* like they do, but clearly part of me would like to be able to. :) Anyway, good book, my favorite character survived through the end of the book, and the sequel will be out in July. Is good. :) Sad. There were no…
