Happy Snow Maidens Day!
My last entry on water maidens drew some, how shall I phrase it, hostility, entirely from critics in the New England area who pointed out, with some justice, that they had not seen rain in some time - to the point where they had forgotten what rain looked like, and that people buried in snow do not want to hear about rain, and that they, as a group ( Read more... ) -

Demands nominated for the Rhysling Award
Just learned that my poem Demands has been nominated for the Rhysling Award.
Major thanks to whoever nominated it; this was one of my own personal favorites from last year, and the recognition is very heartwarming. -
Cat Stairs

The Little One is still ( Read more... ) -

Death Comes to Pemberley, or at least the BBC
I started reading Death Comes to Pemberley a few years back, and stopped just a few pages in: P.D. James is the sort of author I tend to admire more than love, and her Jane Austen tone felt off to me. But I was kinda curious about what actually happened in it, so when the BBC series popped up on Netflix I gave it a try ( Read more... ) -
Flash
I haven't talked much about The Flash here - partly because I haven't talked much about anything here, but mostly because there's just not that much to talk about: it's a fluffy popcorn show. Fun, but for the most part forgettable. But last night's episode, while one of the weakest so far, did something fairly interesting.
( Cut for major spoilers for the show and last night's episode, and a spoiler for the first episode of this season's Arrow. )
