Guilty pleasures, and pure dorkery.
I think your little girl is cute; I really do. It’s undeniable that she has a great head on her shoulders. But we really need to talk about your parenting skills. Dora’s like, what — six years old? Seven? When I was that age, I was traipsing around the woods near my house, sure. I […]
“For me, The X-Files has always been a romance,” [Chris Carter] says. “They had an intellectual romance that’s very rare and restrained compared to so many relationships on TV. I think that’s what appealed most to the fans. And they’re back.” And I cannot stop ::happy dancing:: (Pic and quote from USA Today)
So we meet again, Automated Postal Center. I see you were intimidated by my mad MacGyver skills that time you tried to eat my debit card, and so you have dreamed up new and horrid trials for me to overcome, new ways to thwart me. And you have almost succeeded. At midnight last night, I […]
Because they don’t get any more accurate than this. Yes … I think this captures the 1870s 80s perfectly. 😀
Tip #1: Do not give your four-year-old child your debit card to hold while Mommy finishes up her business. Not even if you’re there on a Saturday because she’s been sick all week, making it difficult to get to the post office, and she still kind of looks miserable and tired, and she says, “Can […]
I saw this review over at Bookfetish.org. It includes this tidbit. The advices from this biography of facts about the holy Chuck are as follows: Grow a beard, build a shrine for the Chuck and be sure to offer up young maidens to it daily and always be alert for the Chuck is all-mighty. The […]
I cannot help but notice a certain lack of enthusiasm in your work of late. There are very few things that I request of you: to be perky and to be functional. And I’ve only had one baby, so I’ve not asked you to be functional all that much. So let us talk about this […]
…deliver The Serpent Prince unto me. I’m effing dying here. Sincerely, Meljean, who is off to see if the grocery store has stocked it early. Then maybe Borders. And I haven’t seen the inside of a B&N in about a week, so I guess it’s time I go make my monetary sacrifice there. Which probably […]
While looking for something in an old file today, I ran across some stuff I wrote while I was trying to determine exactly how I would a) get Colin’s backstory across, b) share some worldbuilding information, and c) show what had happened in Caelum, and in the months between the end of Demon Angel and […]
Because I’m sick, that’s why. Do not ask why I put “elephant penis” into Google Images. Only marvel at this (kind of safe-for-work, because its an educational model, but I’m still putting it after the jump):
Note: This is another repost from the old blog. It seemed time to bring it over (particularly since a 2am wandering post is a bit, um, wandering). “I don’t know why I brought you home,” Meljean muttered. “You know why.” The ruthless sneer the carrot cake gave her made her tremble with longing. “You want […]
Over at Between the Covers, Cleo rates heroes’ hair. Which reminded me of something I’d posted way back in May 2005 (with lots of pictures!) and so, in my continuing quest to transfer all of the old blog posts over to WordPress, I’ve added it here. (Plus, okay, I’m writing uber-lots, so this is my […]
Got the Monday Morning blues? Click, print, hide it from your boss, and search! Want answers? I’ve got those, too (for once.) Want to make your own?
This is for Cindy, because when I posted a link to this flag on her blog, I think the link didn’t work. And also because when I looked through my old blog to find the flag, I realized that He-Man wasn’t the only one drawing in tons of spam. So I’m slowly going to be […]
Okay, so this must be one of the dorkier parts of my writing process: shopping for my heroine. Not really shopping, but looking through a bunch of magazines, online clothing stores, that kind of thing to find clothes they would wear. Usually, I end up going with one style or line of clothing. Selah, who […]
