Just seen in Salt Lake
Driving home the other day, I saw this sign and just HAD to turn around and get a picture of it:

Spaces still left for worldbuilding seminar
We still have about 11-15 spaces left for the worldbuilding seminar this Saturday, so if you were thinking you might come but weren’t sure if there’d still be room for you, be assured that we’ve got plenty of room. If Paypal was the trouble, at this point, just bring your check ($45 for an individual, … Read more
Testing
Updating my previous posts to get them to show up on LJ doesn’t seem to be working. At least it’s not that many posts to copy over, if it comes to that. Here’s a test post to see if the plugin is working correctly on cross-posting NEW entries, even if it’s not working on updating … Read more
And now for something completely different: cat yodeling
From the engineers who brought you The Engineer’s Guide to Cats:
I think I broke it, but I don’t know how!
My website seems to be down, and I can’t figure out what’s wrong with it. It’s either the Google Analytics code (which I’m off in a minute to go take out) or the fact that I fixed a problem on the new Critiques page caused by pasting text from Word. Either way, if the site … Read more
A reminder, and random tidbits
One last thing [that I just edited to be the first thing, because it’s more important than my ramblings]: If you’re local to Utah and are a writer of the LDS faith and/or writing in the LDS market, remember that LDStorymakers happens next weekend. I believe the deadline is fast approaching (in fact, I just … Read more

I also love good cop procedural shows if they have character development (Bones, NCIS) and I think the misunderstanding … Read more
The fashion report, New York, and cameras
I’m sitting in my friend’s New York apartment having just finished a rousing discussion on each of our personal existential crises. There’s always something that makes you think, "What do I *really* want to do when I grow up?" isn’t there? As things change, you have to adjust, and there’s always some negotiation as you … Read more
Director’s cuts
I’m just about to watch a DVRed-off-TV version of Blade Runner (part of G4’s “Movies that Don’t Suck” series, which deserves praise in and of itself), the description of which I find really interesting. Ridley Scott’s director’s cut of his sci-fi noir thriller adds scenes and a new ending, drops the voice-over [which I remember … Read more
Treat time!
But on a brighter note, less than two weeks from Kindling Words! I’ve been very blessed for it to work out for me to go again this year, and I’m looking forward to seeing everyone. I might even be able to make something for it–one tradition the retreat has is to bring along your snackable … Read more
