Flash Fiction: The Monster In My Closet
About two hours ago, I thought to myself, "'There's a monster in my closet' would be a neat way to start out one of those scary short stories I loved to read when I was in middle school." I wrote it down, then wrote a little more and a little more. Right around the time I realized I had no idea ...
Apropos of nothing in this post...
I found this Star Trek slam poem yesterday and thought I'd throw it your way.

The way I read books:
I read several at once. I keep one at work (to read on breaks), one in the car (to read if I go out to lunch by myself or have to wait at the doctor's office or car care place), one in the bathroom at home (I read on the commode), and sometimes there's more than one in any given place.
Currently, I'm reading:
Foundation by Mercedes Lackey (her latest Valdemar book) (at home)
Anne of Avonlea by LM Montgomery (in the car)
To Catch a Pirate by Jade Parker (at work)
Read since the beginning of the month:
Chalice by Robin McKinley;
Epic by Conor Kostick;
Dear Diary by Leslie Arfin;
Cycler by Lauren McLaughlin;
Dead Until Dark -and- Living Dead in Dallas by Charlaine Harris

Q: What book are you currently reading? Is it good so far?
I don't do memes, because once I start, I doubt I'd be able to stop. That wouldn't end well for anyone, especially my cat who is bacon-averse. This morning, though, while I was Propelling, I stopped at SF Signal and saw Quick Meme: What are You Reading? Q: What book are you currently reading? I...

Wow. That was so amazingly disturbing and insanely funny I had to post it to my blog!

Awesome costumes!!! And such a fun song! One of the highlights of Dragon*Con was Stephen Granade's music video of Re: Your Brains that played on Dragon*ConTV.
My Joe wants to know when are you gonna run for senate? Because when you say 'I speak for a generation!' you'd actually (a) mean it and (b) be speaking truth!

pimp of the dead
Last year, Anne and I went to a Halloween party as a pimp and his 'ho. We had an awful lot of fun putting the costumes together, because while it is hard out there for a pimp, as long as your pimp hand is strong, and you can recite Antonio Fargas' poem from I'm Gonna Git You, Suka, it's pretty h...

Better late than never, right? :) Happy Birthing Day!! I hope you had a lot of fun (and it sounds like you did)!

happy birthday, nolan!
Nolan is 16 today. Our plans include goofing off at the beach, followed by an awesome dinner with a few friends, and lots of Guitar Hero later tonight. It's his first birthday without his big brother around, which is probably harder on me than it is on him, but I think we're all going to have a...

Oh, you make me want to re-read Le Petit Prince, en francais. :) I haven't read that since high school. Thank you!

seeking sanctuary
Spring is totally here in Pasadena: it's misty or foggy in the mornings, and cool enough to wear a shell when I jog around the neighborhood. Then it burns off around noon and we enjoy cool breezes and temperatures in the mid 70s until the sun goes down. It's perfect planting, barbequing, and sit...
