I love listening to Sound & Spirit.
Even without all the other things I love about XM radio, I’d keep it just so I could continue to listen to Sound & Spirit, which isn’t available locally. (That’s become a mantra recently. “No, WV public radio doesn’t have THAT show either.”)
Anyway.
This week’s show was on [...]
Blood Pact (1993) Tanya Huff
Surprisingly, I like Blood Pact a lot more than Blood Lines, the last book, although it was quite different than the previous four. In this book they battle not magic, but science: a group of researchers are reanimating the dead.
I say surprisingly because the researchers were creating zombies. Vicki, Mike, and [...]
Blood Trail (1992) Tanya Huff
Okay, I did have a very strong drink to celebrate the end of the semester, so that may have been part of the reason why I laughed out loud several times last night while reading this book. Or, it could be that the book was actually amusing. Your call.
Read More about [...]
Sometimes Kat reminds me of a dragon.
I don’t mean to insinuate that I have actually seen a dragon—I haven’t. Nor am I saying I believe that they exist—I don’t.
It’s just that sometimes, the way he moves his head reminds me of how I imagine a dragon would move. And sometimes he looks at you as [...]

The study of mountains
Turned in my paper. Probably should have sat on it another day and looked over it once more. But.
I really just wanted the semester to be over, and that did it.
Now, off to do some more relaxation!
Assuming all goes well, other than some minor changes for my paper, I’ll be done for the semester after my presentation this afternoon.
Of course, Michael isn’t done until next week, but the worst for him should be over by Friday.
I’ll try not to gloat too much tonight, as I recline on the sofa with a [...]
I have been working on my paper and presentation.
Really!
And I don’t know why I’ve been reading all these vampire books either. Just one of those things.
Runaways by Brian K. Vaughan
The series Runaways came up as a recommendation for me several times, and it looked interesting. However, I am wary books with of teenage characters, because if they’re not well done, I find them intolerably annoying. Luckily, the characters in Runaways may be teenagers, but they were interesting, and the angst [...]
Blood Price (1991) Tanya Huff
I’m embarrassed to admit how long I’ve had this book without reading it. In fact, it’s been so long that I’m not even certain precisely how long it has been, but I’m thinking I picked it up in ’94 or ’95, along with its two companion volumes. (The price was $3.99, [...]
Sunshine (2003) Robin McKinley
I picked this book up for two reasons. First, because I liked the cover, and second, because of the quote by Neil Gaiman. Yes, I know lots of people who love Robin McKinley’s writing, and yes the blurb looked interesting, but the cover and the blurb were enough to keep me from [...]
Monday lunchtime is a good time for quizzy goodness.

fabulist
n.
1. A composer of fables. 2. A teller of tales; a liar. [French fabuliste, from Latin fabula, fable.]
I finally e-mailed my professor and found out how to exclude cases in SPSS.
Which means that I need to do all my analyses again.
And remake all my charts.
Plus finish my presentation.
And my paper.
See ya next week!
And it’s time for a roundup of keyphrases that brought people to my website.

folktales the old woman who is also a witch and missing pets
That’s too bad when the witch’s pets run off.

Okay, I thought the Easter Elephant was just something my dad did to screw with our heads (also: Christmas Elephant, [...]
I forgot to mention yesterday a bit of a conversation I had with my friend Kim.
It seems she discovered her neighbor spray painting his white urban attack vehicle orange.
Here’s the result:
(more…)
So I promised that I’m going to start writing more, somehow managing to completely forget the fact that I have a HUGE GARGANTUAN MONSTER end-of-the-semester project looming over me.
One that requires that I learn how to use SPSS in two weeks. (And I’ve got one week left.)
Perhaps I was a bit premature in promising [...]
Today’s slightly disturbing incident: Going into the bathroom and seeing a latex glove in the trash.
It’s a funny thing, having your weblog under your own name. Knowing that what you write is going to be out there for anyone to read with your name right there.
Including future employers and possibly litigious current co-workers. (They might not be litigious now, but if I wrote down what I was thinking they’d probably [...]
Ex Machina Vol 3: Fact v Fiction (2006) Brian K. Vaughan
Now that I’m all caught up on Ex Machina, I suppose I have a six month wait or so before the next collection comes out. Luckily, I have one or two other things around here to read.
Fact v Fiction delves a little more into Mitchell [...]
