Driving home from Plymouth...

Moss: Herring Pond Road.
Me: Yes, that's actually named after Amy Pond's brother. ... They don't like to talk about him much.
Moss: That's because The Doctor ate him with custard.

Aside from the Interstitial Arts Exchange (which is shaping up to be really cool! More details to come!), I've been doing a bunch of other things.

Stone Telling's fourth issue just came out a few days ago, and I got to do another Roundtable interview. Yay! This time the poets I talked to were Amal El-Mohtar, C.W. Johnson, Jeannelle Ferreira, and ( Read more... )

1. Who's the author that was the most fun to interview for the OA podcast?Oh, this is hard! I love interviewing people because there's always a ( Read more... )

One of my favorite things about WisCon was Nisi Shawl's Guest of Honor speech. She talked about awesomeness (except I think she called it genius, or maybe magic--it's really all the same thing, I think), and how we should be actively trying to spread as much of it around as possible.

I woke up on my birthday to a call from my mother. Aww, thanks, Madre! Then Sumana and I went down to the green room to prep for the Imaginary Book Club panel. I wasn't on it, but Sumana said Benjamin Rosenbaum had a video camera and they could use someone to run it. Since Sumana and I had conceived of this panel and brainstormed a lot of the stuff ( Read more... )

I have just returned from my first ever WisCon. For those of you who are unfamiliar with WisCon, it's a feminist science fiction convention, which takes place every Memorial Day weekend in Madison, Wisconsin. The astute reader may recall that this is usually my birthday weekend. Historically, this means I usually spend my birthday weekend watching ( Read more... )

Okay, I'm going out of order on my In California series because it is important to post castles for sartorias on her birthday. Happy birthday to both of us! I love sharing a birthday with an awesome person!

So, somebody decided to build a castle in Napa, Moss and I couldn't resist stopping by on our way to his mother's house. Since I'd been accused at ( Read more... )

*I confess I totally want an It's OK to be Takei t-shirt (black XL, in case any family members are getting birthdayish thoughts). Then I would be able to don my Takei apparel! I heart George Takei so hard ( Read more... )

I just spent the weekend in Atlanta, GA at Outlantacon/Gaylaxicon, and it was super fun. I got to meet a bunch of new people and spend some quality time with people I had previously met. The best thing, though, was that walking into this con, I had my usual little blip of anxiety, but it disappeared almost immediately because everyone was friendly ( Read more... )
