If you wanted to see it
As I said, I helped a on Laura Anne Gilman’s Gishwhes team. Here is what they did. My telegraph video is there, and if you scroll down more, you’ll see a dragon and a bear dressed in Kale at a…
Where does the time go?
I heard from a friend the other day that faculty meetings start this next week. I won’t be there. I wanted to drink some champagne. Because, you know, I always love me some faculty meetings and I wanted to drink…
Some announcements
First, please remember that I’m taking part in the SFWA reading series. Laura Ann Gilman is hosting the program, Phyllis Irene Bradford will also be reading. To register, go here. That’s tomorrow (Weds., 14th) in Portland. Mindy Klasky has a…

I’m never quite sure when it’s accurate to say I lost another pant size. But today I put on a pair of pants I haven’t worn in a long long time. A size down from what I’ve been wearing, and…
Bleedy bleedy bleedy and appearances
