I just finished Unseen Academicals. I love Pepe so very hard. I have lunch plans with ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} goddessgoddess, T., and their friend S. This is probably a good thing, as my food intake the past few days has consisted of a can of not at all good soup. A meal I can chew would be nice.Am wearing The Bra That Fits. At present there is only one. I have taken steps to remedy this. It is a front-hook. It kind of has to be. There are eight rows of hooks. Also wearing The Jeans That Fit, courtesy of hcolleen, and a not bad tshirt courtesy of some thrift shop somewhere. Smelly of the day as yet to be decided. I'm thinking Hungry Ghost Moon.

I watched Doctor Who: Waters of Mars! Behind the cut is my summary of the episode, my reactions to "next time on Doctor Who", and my random theory on what will happen next series, based only on having seen photos of Eleven and his companion. ( Cut cut cut cut cut! ) |

Guys, I totally forgot I had this picture of this INCREDIBLE Persona 2 cosplay of some of the Personae, from Akon XIII. (That's in 2002!) I thought some of you might enjoy it. I wish digital technology was around back then (instead of me relying on disposable cameras) cause HOLY SHITTTTTTTT You know, looking at the stuff I had, there seemed to be a lot more variety in things people cosplayed? I dunno, maybe I'm just not hip with the new things people are into, but you didn't run around into clones that often.... and just looking at the series, so many different series were represented... |

http://community.livejournal.com/sfwa/9 For the linkphobic: In November, 2009, Harlequin Enterprises, Ltd. announced the launch of a new imprint, Harlequin Horizons, for aspiring romance authors. Under normal circumstances, the addition of a new imprint by a major house would be cause for celebration in the professional writing community. Unfortunately, these are not normal circumstances. Harlequin Horizons is a joint venture with Author Solutions, and it is a vanity/subsidy press that relies upon payments and income from aspiring writers to earn profit, rather than sales of books to actual readers. The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, Inc. (SFWA) finds it extremely disappointing that Harlequin has chosen to launch an imprint whose sole purpose appears to be the enrichment of the corporate coffers at the expense of aspiring writers. According to their website, “Now with Harlequin Horizons, more writers have the opportunity to enter the market, hone their skills and achieve the goals that burn in their hearts.” SFWA calls on Harlequin to openly acknowledge that Harlequin Horizon titles will not be distributed to brick-and-mortar bookstores, thus ensuring that the titles will not be breaking into the real fiction market. SFWA also asks that Harlequin acknowledge that the imprint does not represent a genuine opportunity for aspiring authors to hone their skills, as no editor will be vetting or working on the manuscripts. Further, SFWA believes that work published with Harlequin Horizons may injure writing careers by associating authors’ names with small sales levels reflected by the imprint’s lack of distribution, as well as its emphasis upon income received from writers and not readers. SFWA supports the fundamental principle that writers should be paid for their work, and even those who aspire to professional status and payment ought not to be charged for the privilege of having those aspirations. Until such time as Harlequin changes course, and returns to a model of legitimately working with authors instead of charging authors for publishing services, SFWA has no choice but to be absolutely clear that NO titles from ANY Harlequin imprint will be counted as qualifying for membership in SFWA. Further, Harlequin should be on notice that while the rules of our annual Nebula Award do not expressly prohibit self-published titles from winning, it is highly unlikely that our membership would ever nominate or vote for a work that was published in this manner. Already the world’s largest romance publisher, Harlequin should know better than anyone else in the industry the importance of treating authors professionally and with the respect due the craft; Harlequin should have the internal fortitude to resist the lure of easy money taken from aspiring authors who want only to see their work professionally published and may be tempted to believe that this is a legitimate avenue towards those goals. SFWA does not believe that changing the name of the imprint, or in some other way attempting to disguise the relationship to Harlequin, changes the intention, and calls on Harlequin to do the right thing by immediately discontinuing this imprint and returning to doing business as an advance and royalty paying publisher. For the Board of Directors, Russell Davis President SFWA, Inc. |

Well, I now have a job lined up and a roommate moving in starting tonight. I also have three papers due next week. I'm a little bit stressed, and I'm not sure how to calm down. Besides cleaning and exercising that is. Deep breaths, self, deep breaths! I also picked up Nano this year! Did anyone else? I'm like, four days behind D: For a while I just couldn't concentrate on anything, and I barely wrote. This cold weather just makes me want to curl up in bed and do nothing. Bah! Anyway, could be so much worse. Dark Forces is keeping me sane. How are you folks? |

http://www.lorecrafted.com/the_stacks/2 I admit, the image posted on WoW Ladies last night of Valeera's bodiless head floating where a headed body ought to be, got me thinking and Lorecrafted confirms it. Fare thee well, Aegwynn. You were a bootylicious snarktacular badass old lady and at least two of my characters want to be like you when they grow up, minus the uterus possessed by Sargeras and colossally terrible judgment. Take a few years off and come back as, oh, I dunno, Anduin Wrynn's son or something, marry Thrall and Jaina's daughter, and bring about lasting peace between the Alliance and the Horde. Or something. Just a suggestion. FYI ~ Tonight begins what I refer to as Hell Fortnight, that wonderful two weeks when, every goddamn year, Tony's AM dispatcher takes two weeks off for deer camp. I will not be about much at night. Because I'll be going to bed at 9:30 pm. Because I will need to be getting out of bed at 4:30 am and I must be able to function. If I seem somewhat crankier than usual...this would be why. |

Thanks to doombuggie's indispensable and much appreciated aid yesterday, I was able to get the paperwork I needed. Bright and early this AM I took my quivering self to the office, where the manager made copies of everything to take to the caseworker (she said she was going in this afternoon) and put a "recieved" stamp on all of the originals. Nothing I can do now until December 18th. My hands continue to shake. The cats have been doing their job, though. Last night there was some contention between Anya and Molly as to who would curl up on my chest. Being Boss Cat, Molly won of course, and Anya snuggled up at my side. |

From the thread on Smart Bitches: http://www.smartbitchestrashybooks.c The 'Malle' referenced here is a Harlequin publishing flack, btw. Stacia K said on... 11.18.09 at 07:53 AM Dittoing everyone else in thanking you for commenting here, Malle. Unfortunately, I find some of your comments rather disturbing. Brand – Harlequin put its name on the Harlequin Horizons site to clearly indicate this is a romance self-publishing site. The books published through Harlequin Horizons will not carry traditional Harlequin branding. So, let me get this straight. You use language to sell this service which implies the author in question will be a Harlequin author, and that Harlequin will have a hand in their books, but what they’ll get will not in fact have any association with Harlequin? The self-published author will be the brand and the Horizon double H logo will appear on the spine of the book. Harlequin is the gold standard in romance and that will not be compromised. Readers will not confuse Horizons books with traditional Harlequin books. So, if that’s the case, why in the world should they pay you a huge amount of money, when they can do the same thing through Lulu for free? And don’t you think that it’s a bit of a contradiction to say the books won’t be confused with regular Harlequin books, when they’ll have that logo on the spine? Distribution – Self-publishing has a different distribution model than traditional publishing. Yes, it does, and make no mistake, writers who are considering this—that “distribution model” is you desperately trying to convince unwilling local bookstores to carry your books (they probably won’t), or trying to sell them out of your garage, or carrying copies with you everywhere in vain hopes of interesting strangers in them, or spending outrageous amounts of money on promotions which will very probably not work. You’re competing with professionally published books which are easily available everywhere, from authors and houses readers trust. Horizons books will not be carried nor appear in traditional Harlequin distribution. The self-published book will not appear next to a traditionally published Harlequin title. So again, why should they choose to vanity-publish with you? You’re not offering them distribution beyond what any other vanity press offers them, and some of them—Lulu again, frex—offers it free. The Harlequin Horizons site very clearly indicates it is a self-publishing business and that those who choose to publish with Horizons will not receive the traditional Harlequin distribution and marketing support. No, what it says is: Authors who publish with Harlequin Horizons will have their books available for purchase from the Harlequin Horizons online bookstore and available at more than 25,000 retailers worldwide, including Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. While the scope of distribution is not nearly as extensive as the parent company’s breadth and reach, Harlequin Horizons provides authors the opportunity to reach readers on a global scale through the Ingram Book Group. and: Our books are available to the author, retailers and customers on demand, so there is no need for the author to store unnecessary copies or pay a warehousing fee. Two statements which are, IMO, highly, highly misleading. The average person, aspiring writer or not, has no idea what a distributor is, or why it’s important. They have no idea that saying a book is “available at 25,000 bookstores…” doesn’t mean the book will be IN bookstores, just that should a customer learn of the book, and should they decide they want to read it, they may go into a bookstore, order it at the help desk (most likely pre-paying for it), and wait three weeks or so for it. They also probably don’t know that saying the books are “avalable…on demand” means the books are print-on-demand, which means they’ll likely cost twice what a mass-market paperback will, and that bookstores do not generally carry POD books as a matter of policy. I’m going to return to this in a moment, but first I have to ditto DeadlyAccurate: Many authors are choosing to self-publish. There are a number of reasons to select self-publishing including as a way to see their work in print— to give copies as gifts, to have a bound copy to help in finding an agent...” Writers, DO NOT DO THIS. This is grievous misinformation. Do NOT bind copies to send to agents; they will throw them away and consider you an amateur. Follow proper submission guidelines. That’s almost as bad as this piece of misinformation: Our contract is non-exclusive and allows the author to keep the rights to their book so that our authors can publish with a traditional publisher in the event that they are signed. Authors keep the rights to their books anyway; they belong to us, and we lease or grant them to publishers in exchange for money. But by publishing the book through Harlequin’s vanity press, an author HAS used their First Publication rights. These rights are generally all publishers are interested in, so doing this can seriously affect the salability of your book. Oh, and using those rights also means that should lightning strike, and Harlequin decides to make a regular offer for your book, they have you over a barrel. You can’t go anywhere else, because you’ve used the most valuable rights already, and Harlequin can make you a lousy offer you’ll basically have to accept. What have they got to lose? They’re already making money off you. The topic here, while decidedly on the Schadenfreudalicious, is also deadly serious in this matter. First Publication rights are NOTHING to fuck around with if you're seriously searching for a publisher -- that is why, dear flist, I do not place original fiction that I'm tinkering with in the hopes of publishing online anywhere. This is some grievous shit that Harlequin is trying to pull on the unsophisticated and desperate and it deserves to be called out for what it is: a blatant scam. |

Kelly Services called to let me know that the potential gig has been made manifest. It's in C'ville -- long-ass drive, but an 80-mile daily commute still beats 130-mile daily commute -- and it would likely be 20-30 hours a week working for one of the local government's non-profits. Specifically, I'd be grant-writing and grant-tracking, with research and general winged monkey duties thrown in. That 20-30 hours a week has the possibility to going to a permanent, full-time job...if a) the new boss and I click and b) she decides she even wants to create this position. It pays more and, even if it goes full-time, will still be 250 miles less to drive each week. (That's basically equivalent knocking two full days' drives off my current gig.) It's that "...if" in there about whether she's going to make this an official position or not that gave me pause when Kelly Services told me this woman wanted me to work tomorrow, then again on Monday and Tuesday of next week. I asked for a bit to think about it and, after looking at numbers and talking to a close friend, a new acquaintance, and my therapist, I decided to call back with my counter-offer: I'll meet with her and work for her for a half-day tomorrow (8 to noon) then shag ass to my current gig, and we'll all assess on Friday about what everyone thinks. I explained that as much as I loathe the HelpDeskThisIsKimberley gig, I can't just up and quit it for a job which may or may not pan out. I can, however, drive 40 miles to C'ville to be there at 8, work four hours, then drive 105 miles the other direction to HelpDeskThisIsKimberley, work eight hours, and finally crawl that 65 miles back home at 11. I can do this once, maybe twice, but I cannot and will not do that to myself daily. It's either going to be that job or the HelpDeskThisIsKimberley job until something better comes along. (I write this out for my sake because, despite the seemingly inherent no-shit factor here, I do have an urge to try to do this while still working at the tea shop and also volunteering at the museum. I feel obligated to, in fact, because of my debts and other financial concerns. I can't do it, though. I can't and I won't. I don't have to punish myself that way for having been unemployed so long during a recession.) I would love it if this works out. This will half my current gas expenses, drop my current food bill, and allow me not just improved quality of life but an actual life again. It would also HUGELY reduce my stress. Dear christ. Even if HelpDeskThisIsKimberley didn't have such an epic commute, being screamed at daily for most of eight hours is killing me. To go from such a demoralizing job to a gig where I can bring my passions (even if the job itself isn't what I'm personally passionate about) and do grant stuff, research, and winged monkey work for someone would be just marvelous. Tomorrow will be exhausting and getting through Friday will probably be its own kind of hell, but I'm off from all jobs on both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday is my dad's birthday. It's his first since he died and I'm struggling a lot right now. I go into the grocery store, see pecans, and instantly I'm crying because pecans were Dad's favorite treat and he'll never enjoy them again. That sort of thing. So, I'll be out of touch all day Saturday because I need to be and I want to be. Sunday, I'll be seeing some friends in a play and possibly even socialize beyond that. Come Monday? I dunno. Maybe I'm at the new job. Maybe I'm at the tea shop. I just don't know yet, but at least it's not a stress-making unknown. Just have to make it through the next two days and then I'll have the downtime I need.

Actually, PHB, errors occur for more reasons than 'carelessness' and 'don't care.' For example: when one person is being required to complete three (3) time-sensitive tasks during the same two week period that are all due at the same time and that person has been informed, on more than one occasion, that asking for assistance completing any of those tasks is unnecessary because "no one in the office is overworked" and had her job unsubtly threatened RE requesting assistance, that will tend to be productive of a certain degree of slippage. Something does, indeed, have to give. Don't like it? Assign someone to assist on the fucking data collection project, the EXISTENCE of which you only remembered TWO DAYS BEFORE IT WAS DUE, when you asked me if I was working on it FOR THE FIRST TIME.

I don't know if short and superficial posts are better than no posts at all, but since they're the best I can manage, the question really is irrelevant. Anyway, even though I live in a cave and didn't realize it was time for another episode of Doctor Who already, I really liked Waters of Mars once I noticed (because my circle started raving) and downloaded it. I always like the Doctor's exuberance, even when it has a more than manic note in it. Talking about it without a cut isn't going so well, but I'm too And now that I've posted the entry before I meant to, I'll wander off and search for new icons, because I've been feeling like it.

So apparently some people are in an uproar over President Obama bowing to Emperor Akihito of Japan. Even Miss Manners oh-so-smugly weighs in (not that she's usually relevant to today's world). I fail to see the grave offense; first of all, it is Japan. Everyone bows. Yes, the President isn't just anyone, but it's roughly equivalent to a handshake, and I for one feel that he shouldn't be below him to put forth polite gestures such as it. Second of all, he is the Emperor. Give me a break. Would such uproar take place were Obama to genuflect before the pope? If one wants to criticise him, I suppose one could correct his form, which was rather awkward. But the simpering about how it either shows weakness or is just Not Done smacks of cultural imperialism, lingering insecurity, and stereotypical US-American arrogance. |

I fucking love how it's set up. There are a few flaws, but overall it's a really nice way to upload. ( Firstly, the features I like. ) ( Things I think other people would like but that I haven't used. ) ( Issues I've had. ) Anyway, my stories uploaded there are all at this link.

Okay, can somebody explain to me, using small words and diagrams, why the wingers are having hysterics over the 9/11 trials taking place in New York? Y'know, the place where the attacks actually occurred? The place that, iirc, successfully hosted the trial and conviction of the terrorists who attacked the World Trade Center in 1993? The place that is, by definition, never out of the crosshairs of potential terrorism by virtue of its status as a major American city? |

Well, not quite yet, thank God. But I did just cave and buy three new Christmas albums, so that they'll be waiting for me on the 27th when I can break out the music again. I've got the Colbert album which, having heard all the tracks on last year's special, I can safely say will probably become one of the standards in my repertoire. It's funny, the music is pretty good, it's surprisingly true to the season, what's not to like. Besides, if Weird Al's album makes the cut (okay, it doesn't anymore, so I need something goofy to replace it) this should. I'm testing Tori Amos's album. I'm really, really not sold by the clips on iTunes, but I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt, which is part of a longstanding tradition of buying Christmas albums that turn out to suck. (Not my tradition, my mother's.) These are then sold to a local record store for a pittance at the end of the season. In this case with digital downloads, I guess I'll just have to delete it and eat the loss entirely. And then there's Gold and Green, by a country duo called Sugarland. I have a not-so-secret addiction to country music, they NY Times liked it, and if there's any music well suited to country style, it's Christmas songs. I have high hopes. I did stay away from the Dylan album, though. Some things are too weird even for me. Before I can listen to these, though, I have to finish a week of classes and survive (*shudder*) my first Thanskgiving with a family other than the one I was born into. I like D's family, but I'm frankly terrified. Also, I have to bake cookies, since D and I agree that there's no way in hell I'm showing up without a dish prepared. I'll make my great-grandmother's molasses ginger cookies, and if those fail I guess I'll have to turn to the chocolate bourbon bundt cake, which is awesome stuff. The truth is, I love the holiday season, and I can't wait for Thanksgiving to kick it off, even if I'll be missing a lot of it this year. My parents decided that Christmas in Peru is a good idea, so we'll be there starting December 20th. Oh well, that'll be awesome anyway :D And I'll still get in plenty of baking, I hope. I want to make bourbon balls this year. Those are the best and they keep like gangbusters. Also, that bundt cake. I have a slight addiction to chocolate+bourbon. And snowflakes (basic Christmas cookies with a little flavoring in the dough and a light sugar glaze with lots more flavor in that. I like them in lemon and almond.) And maybe Linzer cookies again. Those were fantastic the year I did them. *sigh* All of these are happy thoughts. This entry was originally posted at Dreamwidth. There are |

On the tube today I was standing between seats, reading a book, minding my own business when the gentleman sitting in front of me looked up. The following exchange occurred: Him: Would you like to sit? He thought I was pregnant. I know my posture is a bit crap when I’m standing on the tube so my gut kinda gets pushed out a bit, but I’m starting to consider getting a t-shirt that says “Not pregnant – just snacks too much.” Mirrored from This Space Blank Comment here or there. |

Apparently, because a desperate and grief-stricken Rose absorbed the Time Vortex and saved the Doctor's life only for him to suck it out her & regenerate, that the remnant power of the Vortex has been slowly turning him mad, as we saw in Waters of Mars. Okay! Sweet theory, must admit. Oh, did I mention IT'S ALL ROSE'S FAULT? Cause she made him regenerate and she "selfishly" took the Vortex in her (because fuck, in her severely emotional state, she couldn't remember anything from Boom Town -- HOW DARE SHE HAS FEELINGS FOR HER BEST FRIEND/GIRLCRUSH ARRRGH) and if Rose was still around after Doomsday, she would have just fucked him up even more and egged him on to be a lonely god of emoness. I LOOK FOR LOGIC; I FIND NONE. I FIND NOOOOOOONE. ;______; FAN THEORY I JUST MADE UP GUYS REALLY: The Ninth Doctor takes the Vortex energy out of Rose to SAVE HER LIFE and accidentally sees everything, including the break of the time lock surrounding the War by the Master and the ~triumphant return~ of Gallifrey. When he regenerates, he forgets, but the closer he comes to the event horizon when everything will change (SUP "END OF TIME") his mind slowly turns against him to keep him from remembering. Thus, the madness and arrogance and Lonely God shtick we've been seeing, the constant reinforcing of I'M SO ALOOOOONE AND THE ONLY TIME LORD ;_____; ---- so he never remembers that Gallifrey is coming back, until it becomes impossible to hold back and that ---- swush. (Swush?) Gallifrey comes back, the Time War is broken out of his lock, insert some crap with Daleks, and by the end the Doctor is no longer alone and also looks like that one chap from Party Animals. SWUSH! REGENERATE! Yeah? |

Home today. Yesterday afternoon, after spending the morning out and about running errands and the rest of the day outside enjoying the unseasonably nice weather, Skye's nose started to run. By yesterday evening, he was spiking a temperature, sniffling furiously, and coughing with an audible wheeze. He was up and down much of the night, miserable and unable to sleep comfortably despite meds and Vicks, and he woke up with us this morning with a perfectly miserable wail and a cry of "MOMMMMMEEEEEEEEE!" which he almost never does unless he's really, really sick. Again, he was running a temperature and wheezing audibly. So I stayed home and took him to the doctor today. Nose congested? Check. Lungs congested? No. Lungs clear. Both ears infected for the third time in three months? Double check plus a stronger antibiotic, yet again. ::sigh:: |
