Tease
Yesterday was a cruel tease. I was fine the entire day. There was a momentary twinge of pain in the morning and the beginnings of a migraine after seeing a movie that was countered by Excedrin, but other than that I was fine. It was a slow day. I woke up around 10:30 and took…

Stepping Away
Being sick is humbling. Being sick is exhausting. Being sick is boring. I’ve been sick for three weeks now and it’s driving me up a wall. The doctors have no idea what is wrong with me and so I spend my time either in pain, hopped up on painkillers or waiting to be in pain…

Running Out of Gas
I am so tired. I am exhausted and frustrated and I just woke up. I have spent the last week dealing with a mystery illness that causes extreme abdominal pain, dizziness and forced bodily functions that nobody wants to have to deal with. Ever. I have seen three doctors this week, been to the ER,…

Running Out Of Time
There are a lot of things that I should probably be writing about right now. Explaining what’s been happening in my life for the last month, thanking every person on the planet for making that happen, telling you our plans for the next few months, but I can’t. I’ll work on getting to that later.…

On Kaffeeklatsches and Giving Cons the Benefit of the Doubt
As many of you have no doubt heard by now, World Fantasy Con has announced a five-pound fee for participating in kaffeeklatsches. Now, I would like to say for the record that this is really stupid. Kaffeeklatsches aren’t a premium experience. They are a regular part of conventions, that should be honored and respected. Not…

It’s been twelve years since those towers fell. I was in 5th grade. How has time gone by so quickly? It’s no secret whit my friends or family why I came to New York. It’s also no secret that I’ve always loved Chicago more. But I’m starting to fall for this city. I have an…

The Cool Kids
I hate that my best ideas come to me when I’m in the middle of something else that I really shouldn’t drop. Like, right now, I’m in the middle of putting together dinner. Chicken pot pies – I’m not the only one that gets tasty benefits in my relationship, last night it was salmon, caramelized…

Friendly Reminder
When you’re dragging a con through the mud on the various social media pages (but specifically Twitter today) keep in mind that behind the icon, there is a person who has worked very hard and mostly likely has nothing to do with the actual problem. Angry tweets to cons are just as hard to swallow…

Negative Social Bandwidth
LoneStarCon was awesome, and I really enjoyed working on it (most of the time, anyways), but damn am I glad that it’s over. Seriously, I don’t mean to bash on a former committee that I worked on, but good Lord, did it take a lot of time and effort to keep that flow up and…

10,000 ft
So much has gone down in the last week and my brain is going about seven million miles an hour. As I write this, I’m on my way home with Will from San Antonio via Atlanta, and while I cannot wait to be home cuddling my furry, angry, little beast, I’m more than a little…
