Stacy I’m taking a trip to New York City this week. I’m leaving on a redeye tomorrow night and staying through Saturday. It’s going to be a short little trip, but I’m excited to see the city again and see friends I haven’t seen in a while. If you’re in the area, perhaps we might have … Read more
For fans of Howl’s Moving Castle, have you read House of Many Ways yet? It’s the sequel to Howl and I must say a right smashing one. The style is very different–much more sparse than Howl, as I recall, though it’s been a few years since I read Howl and I’m always getting the most … Read more
It’s completely absurd, but every time I see those Brooke Shields VW ads, the ones where she accuses people of having babies just for German engineering… I just can’t help but giggle. Mostly because the couples answer back: "That’s not why we’re having a baby!" "Lady, we’re standing right here!" The one I just saw … Read more
The cable guy is here hooking up cable and internet. As you can tell, I am finally back online. THANK YOU to everyone who helped me move. Here’s hoping that this apartment has no major problems like flooding or, I don’t know, electrical fires, plumbing problems, or any other kind of major problem that would … Read more
Still working on flood cleanup, and now that I have a new apartment, I’m also working on getting it ready for moving my stuff over (painting walls while it’s still empty, etc.) and getting the stuff ready for moving. Good things are happening: the cable company appears to not need to charge me for the … Read more

So due to the need to recover from the flood, I won’t be able to answer individual consultation emails this … Read more
I’ve really appreciated all the thoughts on freelancing so many people have offered in the last little while. I’m getting into my groove, and my office works more efficiently every day. There’s not a lot to talk shop about here right now, though, so I’m afraid it’s been a lot of filler lately. I think … Read more
I’m still working on painting my apartment, which is a slow process when it’s not your first priority. I just got a nice chocolate brown leather chair–SO very comfy–and ottoman for a steal on clearance at a local furniture store outlet. I also found an end table that matched perfectly with the dark cherry shelves I … Read more
And it’s the assistant manager. She lives upstairs, and earlier this morning she was walking by and saw two black cats on the stairs outside. She did a double-take and said, “Wait a minute! You guys aren’t supposed to be outside!” Turns out that my cats had somehow knocked out the screen door to … Read more
33,650! I can’t find the progress bar I used to use. I’ve searched as much as my borderline-migraine brain will let me. I give up, and I’m going to bed. It’s enough that I just wrote two chapters more, and that we’re finally *getting* somewhere in the story!
