Frikken Comercialmass
So what's with freakin Christmas crap now in the stores even before Hallowe'en? And the music playing incessantly. If I worked in a mall I'd be carving like Christmas turkeys well before American Thanksgiving. I'd outgrinch the grinch and stuff every hobgoblin and whiny child into a Santa sack and bash it against the wall. It ain't red for nothing ( Read more... ) -

WTF, a sort-of job interview
So on the Canadian editors' list was a job: a publisher looking for freelance content editors. I sent my resume in and got a forwarded email that said sign into MSN to discuss this. Now this is for book editing and that's my specialty, been doing it for 15 years. She asks if I use storyarcs so I ask her to define what she means in terms of editing ( Read more... ) -
Published in November
Well my poem "Graven Image" came out in the Prairie Journal this month. As well, my story "Stocking Stuffers" has come out in Naughty or Nice, just in time for Christmas. http://www.cleispress.com/book_page.php?book_id=220

I wasn't mundane enough
Well, I've already been rejected from the mundane SF issue because he didn't want space travel and has too much of it. Errr, where was that in the guidelines. Sheesh. Oh well, at least I got a rejection as opposed to the black hole that all my other Interzone stories fall into ( Read more... ) -
Oh Nothing Really
I took the day off work for doctors' appts, the result which is no tear in my tendons but my arm still doesn't work right. So what's up with that. Eleven months, not getting better. But...the naturopathic clinic has been injecting homeopathics (with arnica and other goodies) into my trigger points and last week's injects decreased my pain by about ( Read more... ) -
The Bellydance Thing
Okay, teaching didn’t happen because of working two jobs for six months. And now, well I’m not up to speed in finding a place. BUT...
This is my temporary solution. I can fit four people in my place for bellydance lessons. (If you have a bigger place and are willing to offer it, then a few more can join.) The style I will be teaching is the more ( Read more... ) -
Vancouver Grows Up--the Bad Way
Four murders this week, all men gunned down in cars, or outside of homes. All victims known to police or RCMP. You'd almost think someone was laundering out the dirt, except it's bigger dirt that's doing it. There is no righteous, one-man vigilante like Batman, righting the world from wrongs with his own form of justice ( Read more... )
