Time to play catch-up. Haven't posted anything on this blog since before Thanksgiving, but a lot has happened since then. I won't go into a lot of it, because most of it is really personal, but suffice it to say that I got some really bad news that knocked me for a loop, and I'm [...]

What is NaNoWriMo? Apparently it's National Novel Writing Month. I've been hearing about this for years, and it always sounds like such a fun idea. I suppose I've kind have been participating in it without realizing it, but not as seriously as some people are. It's like a month long writing party for some, which [...]

Last year, I was unlucky enough to be required to go to ACRL in Baltimore. One of the speakers there was Michael Eric Dyson, who made a funny little throwaway comment about the "liberry" being the place where the lies were buried. Ha ha ha. Oh, Michael Eric Dyson, you're so crazy.

Some of you already know how much I admire Murasaki Shikibu. No only did she write what many consider to be the first novel, she’s also named after my favorite color, and that’s just cool on both counts. I just got this bit of news today and I thought it was neat. Of course, it [...]

Super duper treat for me, since CO had some fun teasing my most favoritest author ever, Neil Gaiman, and point out some exceptionally cute pics on his website. Seriously folks, how cute is [...]

Okay, so I pointed out some of my favorite places to get my read on for free. I failed to point out places where you can read comics for free online. I’d be here all day if I listed every webcomic I ever heard of, so I’ll just point out some of my favorites.
FreakAngels – [...]

FreeLit. See how I did that? I made one word out of two, Lewis Carroll style, but I put in a random capital letter in the middle because that’s how you make it all edgy and cool. Marketing, baby.

Not sure what it is, but I’ve had fairies on the brain for months. Yeah, the comic has a lot to do with it, but now that I’m taking a break from the comic to write myself a little entertaining story, I go right back to writing about fairies. Maybe it’s a phase, like when [...]

Okay, okay, so the mission wasn’t exactly "impossible," but it was still kind of a pain. It seems that I’m down to the last chapter in book 3 of The Dresden Files, Grave Peril. Since I work late tonight, this was probably the only day of the week where I could stop by the local [...]

Have y’all ever seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding? I love that movie. Replace "Greek" with "Dominican," and that movie can be about my own family. You know how the dad in the movie is always bragging about the accomplishments of the Greeks and how the Greeks invented everything? My own dad has a little [...]
