Some more Christmas Cheer
Someone's blog recently got off on a discussion of Santa and several of us were trying to explain the phenomenon to someone who certainly knew all about it and understood it from an intellectual perspective, but just didn't quite get it in a visceral sense. I think this song captures what it's like for a kid who's still a believer ( Read more... ) -
Christmas Cheer 12/13
I'm trying to get myself in the holiday spirit so I've started listening to Christmas music. When my brother's kids were little he had them do basically karaoke Christmas and gave us CDs on Christmas Eve. Very cute in the out of key little kid singing kind of way. I won't subject you to those, but I love them. After a couple of years of that my ( Read more... ) -
Tour Stop #4 - Foggy Bottom and the C&O canal
Today was a gorgeous day and I had a meeting in town in the early afternoon so I brought Blue along. I love having the kinds of clients that say, "Yeah, bring the dog on up, that's fine."

Things are going well on the Passing front. We're screening in three festivals the same weekend the end of October in Maryland, Tennessee, and Louisiana. It's funny, it almost feels like being released across the country or something. For anyone keeping count that's 5 acceptances, 10 rejections, and 12 still waiting to hear from. I like those ( Read more... ) -

2 weeks in France
We was staying with friends mostly so I had internet access and was keeping a web page for my mother and sister-in-law to follow along at home. (I suppose Dad and my brother were looking too, but it's more of a mom thing to be worried about you when you're gone.) vacation, photosStop #3: Dead Presidents
Moving along to the western half of the Mall we start getting the dead presidents. War memorials too, but we only skirted the edge of WWII, WWI is entirely under construction at the moment, and it just seemed too lighthearted of a project to get close enough to the Korea or Viet Nam memorials. Actually, that half of the Mall is very much under ( Read more... )Tour Stop #2 - The Smithsonian
Of course Blue can't go into the actual museums. Totally inappropriate of course, but how much fun would it be to see her curled up in Archie Bunker's chair at American History, or posing with the animals at Natural History, or in the cockpit of a plane at Air & Space. This is why they don't let us in really. For that matter we weren't even ( Read more... )Tour Stop #1
A little context ( Read more... )A good week for movies
Passing screened at Balticon which was FANTASTIC! The panels were fun, but the screening was the best part. It was great to have a sci-fi audience for our first time out. They really got it. Afterwords I was talking to some folks and I made a comment about my gay alien romance and one of the guys was like, "Well, it wasn't so much that they were ( Read more... )
