I was supposed to race a half marathon on Saturday, but (unsurprisingly) it was canceled; we decided that maybe we'd go skiing today instead - we have weekday passes at the local resort and it rained here, snowed there all day Friday - but our governor closed all the ski resorts for at least a week, just in time for Spring Break. I mean, on ( Read more... )

ETA, and argh, I can't believe I forgot to post this: Tor has a collection of short fiction by women for free download in honor of International Women's Day, and unlike their e-book club you don't have to be in the US or Canada (I think): Nevertheless, She Persisted.

As you probably know (because I rarely shut up about it :-) I live in Colorado, which in addition to being The Most Awesome State is also "voting" in the Super Tuesday primary - "voting" in quotes because Colorado is a universal absentee ballot state, so most vote by mail/drop-off before Election Day.

Chocolate Box 2020 is revealed! I wrote two things, an assignment and a pinch hit. My assignment was for

What I've recently finished reading:

Sword Song by Bernard Cornwell. Not my favorite of this series. Aethelflaed has no agency - she's basically just a MacGuffin who gets beat up a lot - and although this is admittedly a mostly-male-centered series, this seemed particularly bad. I mean, I still love Uhtred, and I enjoyed the "dead man" plot, but ( Read more... )

Chocolate Box 2020 is open! (Well, it's been open since the 14th, Valentine's Day.)

I received two gifts: a cute fantasy-humor ficlet for the Tempur-Pedic "Agent of Sleep" Spec Commercial, Sleeping Beauties, and Nyx and Two sparring and going from antagonists to friends to maybe-lovers over the course of the second season of Dark Matter, a girl ( Read more... )

I keep thinking about posting stuff but can't seem to get it together, oof. At least I have reads n' things!

What I've recently finished reading:

Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal, by Mary Roach (audiobook). I have mixed feelings about this book. The subject matter is fascinating, and I appreciate that Roach goes off on interesting ( Read more... )
