This has been a semi-busy week! I've been working on a cute little sundress made out of a great batik fabric. No pics, yet. I just finished serving the edges yesterday so I should have more progress on the dress... Continue reading

I don't think of '74 as historical either, Sandy!! It's just so wrong!!
Fashion
My daughter is completely in love with American Girl dolls. Seriously in love with them. She got one for her birthday and, on a trip with her Girl Scout troop to the American Girl store in Atlanta, she picked up a second doll using allowance money she saved for months. These dolls aren't che...

Love your t-shirt and the shawl!!
One more thing. No, two more things. Well, actually, three more things.
This was me at the rally yesterday. We librarians* stand with the teachers whose vocation was disparaged and attacked and made to seem the enemy by the incumbent. * Even former part-time librarians currently employed as tax accountants. * * * * * From Amanda Palmer's latest email update on her...
Searching
Let's face it, trying to come up with what to fix for dinner every night can get really old. No matter how many cool cookbooks you have on your shelf, most of us just fall back on the same old... Continue reading

Congratulations!!! Looks like I'm watchin' Numb3rs now!
and now for something completely different
There was a time when I called myself an actor/writer. Then I realized that, saying it aloud, I was calling myself an actor, slash writer. While I suppose this would be immensely appealing to some people, it's not how I wish to be remembered by history, so I made an effort to call myself a write...
I laughed because I really love Halo and then teared up because you and your kids are awesome.
the family that frags together . . .
It's been painful, joyful, scary, and wonderful that Ryan's away at school, out of our house, and in a place -- physically and emotionally -- where I can't protect him. I have to hope that I did my job as a parent, and when he makes mistakes, they result in skinned knees and not broken bones. So...
WTF? Why on earth were you treated so badly? That's really crappy and I'm so sorry that happened to you.
A couple of Star Trek things
If I'm avoiding a deadline, it must be time for a few random Star Trek items that have crossed my, uh, desk, today. The Really Super-Awesome Trust Us You Totally Need To Have This One Even If You've Already Bought All The Other Ones DVD box set for Star Trek: The Next Generation has been ship...
That was just beautiful. I cried like a big baby. You are one hell of a writer. Now stop making me cry.
Geek in Review: Gene Roddenberry: Boldly Going Where No One Had Gone Before
When I talked to my mom on Sunday morning, she asked me how the Hall of Fame induction went. "Good," I said. "It was better than I could have hoped." "Will you write about it, so your dad and I can experience what it was like to be there?" I smiled. I love it that she asked me to do that. Mom, t...
You are just freakin' awesome and blindly cast my vote. I haven't been reading your blog long but you always manage to touch me. (It's a good touch! Gutter brains.)
for your consideration . . .
Important Update: Please read this post. Thanks. Last year, I was nominated for a Lifetime Achievement Award in the weblog awards. I didn't mention anything about it on my blog because I was nominated with Fark and Slashdot, and I honestly didn't think I deserved to win. In a few years, maybe we...
I love "Forever War" by Joe Haldeman. It was the first science fiction book I ever read and remains a favorite to this day.
Geek in Review: The Hitchhiker's Guide to Science Fiction
My trip to the Science Fiction Museum in Seattle yesterday inspired this week's Geek in Review: While it was truly thrilling to see artifacts from the final frontier and beyond, the museum was more than just a collection of cool things: it was an affirmation of why I and so many other people aro...
Sounds like you had a wonderful day. The advice you received about highschool was fantastic. When my daughter starts highschool, (years from now thankfully!) I'm going to paint that bit of wisdom in ginormous letters on her bedroom wall.
on writing . . .
Ryan is in a creative writing class at school, and throughout this year, I've watched him grow from his first uncertain steps to the confident and insightful writer he is today. A few weeks ago, his teacher invited me to come to the class and speak about my experiences as a writer, self-publishe...
