Breaking Dawn

August 5th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Last Friday I went to a midnight release party for Breaking Dawn with Lenneth and Johan (who kindly drove us, and Lenneth’s niece, down to Redding for the occasion.) I spent the evening finishing the last third of Eclipse, watching cute little emos!!!! people drift around; at midnight we picked up our copies and headed [...]

Why I gave up on NASA

July 30th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Brian sent me this yesterday. I started this post as a reply back to him but realized it made for a good rant. And good post fodder.
Apollo 11 astronaut Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin Jr. told SCI FI Wire that fantastic space science fiction shows and movies are, in part, responsible for the lack of interest in [...]

Resonance

July 22nd, 2008 · 2 Comments

I put aside all of my writing projects early this month — okay, all two projects; Selene and Olivine — and since then, I’ve been brainstorming lists of things I like, things important to me, things that move me. I find, as I do this more, I hit things that really and truly resonate with [...]

I saw amazing clouds on my way to [...]

July 14th, 2008 · No Comments

(Blogging.…that thing I keep forgetting to do. Oy.)
For a month or more I’ve been in a severe funk, not writing, and not reading anything more than light manga or a short story. I haven’t been able to write as much as a regular blog entry — I posted thrice last week because, hey, I had [...]

Things, madness, the end of June

June 30th, 2008 · No Comments

So it’s the end of June, and I’ve been crazy-busy. I’ve done a lot of cleaning. I’ve done a lot of cleaning out, and I’m selling myself through several square feet of containers of anime goods. I’ve already sold several things, given away a few. I will be auctioning more as I get it together; [...]

I love sci-fi.

June 17th, 2008 · 2 Comments

We’ve been watching Crusade lately, and on the whole mourning how short-lived it was, the silly things the network did to it, and how fantastic the characters are. I especially love Gary Cole; Office Space may have typecast him after Crusade, but I’m going to put that behind me because he deserves recognition for the [...]
