Bad book covers
I stumbled across this link to bad book covers and laughed far more than I should have. The commentary really makes it.

Review: Goose Girl
My review of Shannon Hale’s Goose Girl is up at SFFAudio . When I finished listening to Shannon Hale’s The Goose Girl, I wanted to start the story again. I had read the fantasy novel in print form about two years before hearing it and Full Cast Audio brings the characters to life in spot-on

Elemental, my dear Watson
After Steve, Lee and I met up, we went to the Long Acre pub to meet Stel Pavlou. We had a nice lunch and were joined by Stel’s friend James. Afterwards, we all followed Steve to Forbidden Planet for the booksigning of Elemental I don’t know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t this. I

Tveir Fiskar
We went to dinner at Tveir Fiskar (Two Fish) last night. Poor Rob has such a bad head cold that he can’t taste anything. He said that even the blue cheese on his salad was only barely present. The rest of us quite enjoyed our food, I think. As a starter everyone ordered the Martha’s
Dark sky
I got into London and checked into my hostel with no problems. Although the building is lovely and clean, my room is a mess. I’m in a dorm and apparently the other occupants are all traveling together and have taken over the room. Since there are large signs everywhere in the building about how your
Ships passing
Rob’s parents arrived in ReykjavÃk today. They were scheduled to come in this evening, but caught an earlier flight. This is wonderful because I’m going to London today and thought I was going to miss them. So we’re off to have lunch, then they’ll drive me to the airport and go play with Rob. I’ll

Good with words?
I had just finished assisting Þor with a shot and wandered back to the craft services table when Máni, our composer, came out and said, “Mary, are you good with words?” “Um…Pretty good. I guess.” I looked at the orange I was peeling, to hide my confusion. What do you need?” “I am stuck on
Being Jonathan Judge
Jodi and I got to work one of the villain’s strange devices today. The thing had four legs which needed to work in a coordinated movement, so even though it could be considered a prop they threw puppeteers into it. It makes sense, but man, it made for a long day. As most of the

Emily’s birthday

Top-heavy
Well, today was ridiculous. I spent all day being Bessie’s hands, which is always fun, but for one shot I got to do something totally silly. There was a tight shot of Bessie’s hands manipulating a prop on a table. The way the shot was framed, you could see her torso behind the table, but
