New Year Ramblings
2019 was kind of a lackluster year for me. Sure, there were highlights. I did some fun things. But I overall I got almost nothing done. I took very few photos, I only wrote one short fic and made one vid (and it wasn't the vid I really need to work on), I acquired a few books but didn't read them.
2019 notables:- My niece Clara was born

WisCon: Saturday
Against all odds Jen and I managed to get to the hotel in time for an 8:30 panel on Saturday morning, which was New Pop Culture And Old Farts, which was about how to keep up with new scifi/fantasy works when there's just so much of it, and how to find fandom when fandom spaces change. The focus was a little scattered but it was an enjoyable panel ( Read more... ) -
WisCon: Friday
My WisCon is going well so far! Carrie arrived on Tuesday and I had Wednesday through Friday off work, so Jen, Carrie and I got to hang out. On Thursday I abruptly remembered that I was supposed to make posters for the Comic Book Party, so I whipped up two variations of the same poster and went to OfficeMax to print them on Friday morning. The ( Read more... ) -

Song: If We Were Vampires
Length: 2:40
Warnings: a very small amount of blood
Notes: This is a really beautiful song about the shadow of mortality hanging over your deepest and most loving relationships. So of course my mind associated it immediately with Starsky and Hutch. They love each other so much, guys ( Read more... ) -

And Back Again
Now on the road back to Wisconsin! Missy's graduation went well, and the whole trip was pretty smooth. I had one fight with my mom because I felt like she hurt Missy's feelings at one point, but it was near the end of the trip, so I'm not surprised it got a little heated. It rained the first two days, which wasn't ideal, but the third day was ( Read more... ) -
On the Road
I'm traveling with my parents from Wisconsin to Virginia to attend my sister's graduation. We're in Columbus, Ohio tonight. My parents sprang for separate rooms, which surprised me -- I figured we were going to share a double -- but I can't say I mind having my own room ( Read more... ) -
April Expectations
I've decided to make writing a goal for April, but knowing myself I'm setting a low bar: do a 15 minute writing sprint each day. So far so good. I might actually finish this silly Starsky & Hutch smut story I started, and additionally I'd like to submit a fic for the SHareCon zine. I'm kicking around a couple of plot ideas ( Read more... ) -
Holograms and Rival Bands: A Fanmix
I made a fanmix for the IDW Jem and the Holograms comic book. There's a cover and an image for each track, but please be warned each image is a gif and some of them have spinning or flickering movement.
