Good thing I read so much dystopian science fiction growing up

Good thing I read so much dystopian science fiction growing up

Lorena March 20, 2020 RamblingsOne Comment

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 …

The one where I lose all my geek readers

Lorena August 7, 2013 TV4 Comments

I’m getting kind of tired of people being in an uproar about BBC not making the new Doctor a woman. I’m as much a feminist as the next marginalized human being who’s ever been talked down to because vagina, but am I the only one who remembers there’s been a …

I can’t believe I’m just copying and pasting this from Facebook, but… it’s where I wrote it first, and I’d rather take a long hot shower this morning than rephrase and rewrite it. #Honesty I had such a great time at ICFA I almost don’t even know where to start. …

…. uh, okay, I totally can’t think of how to end that. There is no dirt? Well of course there wouldn’t be any dirt… if you washed. But if you washed not? There would be dirt. Erm. Maybe I should retitle it. “Clean, I am!” … or… “When as old …

What do nine and sixteen have in common?

Lorena April 19, 2012 UncategorizedLeave a comment

In nine more days, the pre-orders for Star Wars-inspired yarn will go away… and in sixteen days, the limited number of singles I’ll have will go up for sale. I should have between ten and twelve of each popular colorway, but only about five each of the colorways that haven’t …
