Ladies and Gentlemen…Nurk is in stores now. Specifically the Barnes & Noble in Cary, one of our major suburbs. Apparently Borders doesn’t have it out yet, and my small-local-independant bookstores don’t have it in yet either–they’re holding to a ship date sometime closer to the June 1st thingy. But I went out to hit the […]

So as some of you may have noticed, Nurk seems to be available…well…tomorrow. This was something of a surprise, since I thought it was a June release. Apparently June is not quite as late as it used to be. Possibly this is Amazon jumping the gun (they’re known to do that) but it’s also just […]
Ahhh…. So today I did something I’ve been meaning to do for awhile, threw on the Boots of Doom and the standard black tank top and hit Goodwill to go skirt shopping. I love Goodwill these days, since I’m bloody sick of buying a new wardrobe every three months, and it has the added advantage […]
Was walking up the walkway to my apartment this morning, and found my path blocked by a belligerent Canada goose. I took a step. It opened its beak and hissed. Now, I don’t mess with geese if I can help it. I’m not particularly scared of them, but I respect them in the same way that […]
*grumble* Bloody Staples sent me PHOTO black instead of MATTE black ink, so now I’ve got to wait another day before finishing out the Taxman print run. Muthas. Today, painty painty painty. Which is getting tricky because the sky is so grey and heavy that I just want to take a nap (despite having been […]
Okay, gang, I’m off to spend an evening canoodling with my significant other, and will not be on the internet. Please be civilized to each other in the prior post, I beg of you, while I’m not here to bounce. This is one topic where emotions run really high, and I don’t want to have […]
Okay, are we all tired of hearing about the Open Source Boob Project yet? Yes? Thought so. For those who have blissfully avoided this discussion lately, the OSBP was a thingy that somebody dreamed up, presumably in a post-Heinleinian daze, about how it would be lovely if women at conventions would let you touch their […]
Went out to a little local folk art fest thingy this afternoon with Kevin and his kids. (He has two boys. Fortunately they’re in the same vague age range as my kid brother Max, which puts them in arguably the least personally alarming subset of the species. And were I much more of a furry […]
It’s been quite awhile since I did any scent blogging here. Part of that is that I’ve been busy as hell, and then there was a chunk of hayfever when I wouldn’t have been able to tell if I smelled like ambrosia with undertones of elephant manure. But I’ve started up testing again, trying to retest […]
Just a reminder, gang–last day for the wallpaper contest submissions! There have been some FANTASTIC entries, and I’m despairing of picking a winner…we may be lookin’ at a whole slew of honorable mentions… And in other news, the Taxman print run is exactly halfway done. We’re gettin’ there…*gives Mr. Printy CPR*
