Still busy on Mysterious Projects but there’s a lot going on on teh intarwebs to keep you busy while I’m doing other things. For example there’s this liveblogging of the Prop. 8 hearings, I just heard about a cool convention in New York that I might actually be there for, and Kelley has a reminder that she’s teaching a fabulous 6-week short fiction course here in Seattle starting in a couple of weeks.
I wish I had photos to show you of cool places I’d been and people I’ve been meeting but I’ve just been right here for the last few days, working–at the, y’know, mysterious projects. But I’d love to hear what you’ve been doing, who you’ve met, what you’ve read, movies you’ve seen, meals you’ve enjoyed, monsters you’ve killed, all that stuff. Hey, let me live vicariously through you for a day or two…

Well, I am getting an endo/colonoscopy tomorrow. The good news is I won't be able to describe it 'cause the drug they use makes one forget it ever happened. Last time I did enjoy the druggy aftermath. So perhaps you can share that pleasure from afar.
Drugs are one of the wonders of life, in my opinion. Anything that can make a person forget something like a colonoscopy = a Good Thing. I hope it goes well.
Better living through chemistry!
I am enyoying this blog again after a hiatus and went to DC last Sunday to the National Geographic Society museum to see the Terracotta Warriors, or at least a few of them. Really amazing, actually. And I can report that hibiscus flowers in sparkling wine (because I am not a huge fan of champ I can afford…mostly because I use my cash to buy brand new books and comic books) is not only visually spectacular but tasty too. Having just finished Always (that I have had on my night stand for a year to my deep shame) I am now reading some YA Natalie Babbitt…why I didn't read her as a child along with L'Engle and Lewis and Tolkien I do not know. And last thought, Nicola, what do you know about the Fight the Fear Campaign in which Brandi Carlile and the Indigo Girls are involved?
The monster got away. :)
I'm jealous of the Terracotta Warriors, Retro.
And my dishwasher broke!
That's it.
