I’m trying to upload this picture as an LJ icon: and I don’t get what the big problem is. I keep getting an error message that tells me files can be no larger than 40k. No problem! This one’s 30k, and only 99×100 pixels, so that’s not a problem, either. Anyone know why it’s doing … Read more
The beautiful, beautiful Hallowmere website has been born. And, just like little newborns, it will grow. But for now, this is what you get to see. Isn’t it beautiful? I love what they’ve done with it. All of you who have been chomping at the bit to read it, check out the fact that somewhere … Read more
The local NPR station, KUOW, was talking with famous librarian Nancy Pearl (of Book Lust and Book Crush fame) about books for children and teens. “Oh,” I thought on my morning drive, “I should call in!

So it makes seeing this particularly funny, given that over the last year or so I’ve been reading Scalzi’s blog because … Read more

This new move is freaking Mogget out. He hasn’t come out from under the bed on his own in two days. Well, I take that back. At night, when the scary shadows are lessened by the darkness, he will come out if the bedroom door is closed. I’m keeping the litter box and the cat … Read more
I must say that taking a day off to move when you have so much to do at work can be really quite guilt-inducing, yet at the same time, how freeing! I’m taking a break from packing clothes and cat stuff to eat lunch entirely too late in the day, and of course checked my … Read more
I had been wondering all week why the Blue Rose Girls hadn’t posted. I read them on my LJ friends page, where most of the blogs I read are collected through blog feeds to LJ. Makes it convenient for me to scan the page for interesting posts without having to spend a lot of time clicking … Read more
