Granted, mostly what I read was post-nuclear war fiction, and not pandemic/epidemics. But still. Alas, Babylon and Farnham’s Freehold were my two favorites. Babylon was set close to my area in Florida, so I always felt a connection of “holy shit, this is what I could do to survive” with …
Who was I talking about the Oz books with? Most people I mention the Oz books to only know about the first book, maybe the second one. There are actually… fourteen. I had a set when I was a child (mysteriously disappeared by The StepMonster (TM)) and managed to find …
Oh! I just realized in my updating Goodreads this morning I forgot to review this one. Not relevant to this post, though, which is really more about my confusion with the show. I started this off as an email to Sharon, and decided just to make it a blog post …
…. wait for it….
My life is a constant state of “I can’t do THIS until I do THAT first.” What I really, really needed was more shelf space in the ceramic studio, because in two years since doing this as a job, THIS VIEW has turned into THIS VIEW. Now it’s the above …
At least. At least 1000 books. I counted one section that had medium-sized books on it (meaning that some books on the case are thinner and some are thicker) and that section had 34 books. There are 30 sections. That’s 1020 books. But, I also put my dad’s ashes on …
Show of hands: who is surprised that I’m not going to be able to fit all the books on the shelf? Tim helped me pull out the rest of the books from the studio last night, and there’s about a full shelf, at least, too much. Even with pulling all …
I went to the library yesterday to get a new card (I had lost my other one mumblemumble years ago). I went to the downtown library, which ::shifty eyes:: was new the last time I had a library card. But I didn’t go there a lot. I love libraries, mind …
Yesterday I had a work flip-out. You all probably are tired of hearing about my constant fight for space (not against Tim, but against myself) — the ceramic studio used to be a book room, and slowly over the last two years I’ve had to double- and triple-stack mass market …
So, I have this printer. I’ve had it two years, we used it at Hanks for four years before that, and Carla had it for at least two before that. Meaning it’s at least eight years old — that’s practically a dot matrix! There are a few things I wish …
Joe Haldeman, reading, answering questions, and autographing books at Wild Iris Books in Gainesville, Florida — one of the only two locally owned bookstores left in the city, and one of nine feminist bookstores left across the country. Yesterday was quite fun; of course I got a bit of work …
Award-winning author (and totally wonderful uncle) Joe Haldeman will be reading and autographing books, including his recent release, Earthbound, this coming Saturday at Wild Iris Books. Wild Iris Books 802 West University Avenue Saturday April 28th 2-4 PM
All day yesterday I kept thinking it was Sunday. Does anyone else do that on holidays? Bonus Sunday! Yay! On Christmas Day when we came back home to let the dogs out and have a little nap time, I opted for (instead of napping) adding the knitting books I got …
I guess I did not misbehave as much as I thought this year, because Santa was very good to me! I got books and yarn and a pony and — OK, just kidding, I didn’t get a pony. That’s OK, I’m not that much into horses. But I did get …
For the first half of yesterday, I thought it was Wednesday; then I thought it was Thursday. This morning I woke up thinking it was Friday… and I just realized it’s Saturday. SIGH. The rest of my 2010 photos can be viewed here.
We took a whirlwind trip down to Cocoa Beach this weekend to see Uncle Joe receive an award bestowed upon a living author for a lifetime’s achievement in science fiction and/or fantasy. If you look at that list you can see that Unca Joe keeps damn fine company. [pictobrowser type=”flickr” …
