Travel went totally smoothly. I know. I attribute it to traveling with the gods. I dove straight into work, and am a wee bit tuckered, so I’m just going to give you part of my twitter feed for the day. Packed and ready for travel to Houston. Except for the gods. Thor is still drying […]

Loki's cheek cracked, so I resoaked his head and stuck him in a vise. # I've got Loki's tail cut out and soaking in the sink. Not surprisingly, he managed to drive a splinter into my palm in the process. # I've got Loki's tail shrinkwrapped and clamped in the vise to dry. # I've

Friday was a perfectly lovely day. Puppet building and writers visiting. I spent most of the day working on the Loki puppet for Odd and the Frost Giants, but took a break to hang out with two of the GoHs from MidSouthCon. Conveniently Kurt Busiek and Monte Cook both live in the Pacific Northwest. As
Cutting out Loki's face. The scissors work better than a knife. # Loki's face looks more lopsided than I remember. I think I'll have to use the bonefolder to check. # Also, where is my masking tape? I need it to hold the seams of Loki's face together. # Yeah, I thought Loki's face needed

Pricing gyroscopes for an oscillation overthruster. # I’m attending a production meeting for Odd and the Frost Giants via speakerphone. The downside to designing remotely. # Corretion: I WAS attending a production meeting via speakerphone, but the call dropped. Sigh. # A girl and her cow. Her parents wouldn’t let her have a horse. http://youtu.be/OIQDvZdmTO8

You know… I could get layout done faster if Quark didn't freeze so often. # During allergy season, I feel like I spend all of my time actively not touching my face. Itchy, itchy, itchy… #

It occurs to me that, this being April Fool’s day, when I talk about taking a yeti on my trip, people will think that I’m making a joke. And I am, but not the kind you think. As you know, I have sort of astonishingly weird travel karma. At one point, after a flight was
The yeti is not a joke. No, really. I travel with one. Read More »
So I’ve gotten to explore a lot of Seattle with Cherie today. We went to lunch at Bad Albert’s and afterwards stopped at Fremont Coffee to get some writing done. While there I called the mechanic to see how things were going. He cheerfully said that they had gotten the car to start and that

15:25 At the airport to go home to Portland. I will be home for less than 8 hours then go to Seattle for the Locus awards. # 15:57 Man, JFK is brutally hot and smells like the subway. That, at least, has working a/c. # 16:54 Is anyone going from Portland to Seattle tomorrow? I

Thursday night I went to the Cedar Hills Powell’s to hear J. A. Pitts read his debut novel Black Blade Blues. I’d read the ARC of it and was very glad that his book tour brought him to my town. The book crosses Norse mythology with the world of low-budget films and blacksmithing. The main character
We stopped today with the Valenti family who we know from our time in Iceland. The driving was good today, so we took time to have a picnic at one of the rest areas and still arrived by 3:30. It has been wonderful to have time to visit and catch up. Edited to add: Here’s

16:50 Important lesson. A rented van counts as a commercial vehicle and can’t go through the Holland tunnel. # 18:05 An hour and twenty minutes later I can see the Lincoln tunnel. # 19:01 One hour to get from the Lincoln Tunnel to City Winery, which sits just north of the Holland tunnel. Sigh. #

02:07 The number of things that went wrong today without anyone getting hurt was pretty impressive. # 07:58 Grabbing breakfast in between furniture runs and wishing I weren’t stopped. Too much to do today. # 20:16 Spilled red paint on my arm. People keep thinking I’ve been gored. #

08:45 Rob just went to the subway with the foam head strapped to his arm. I hope I haven’t killed my husband. # 12:54 Heading out to do prop shopping for a film. It’s very different from shopping for stage. # 16:27 My god, traffic sucks. # 22:15 I can’t believe I have to drive

10:24 I wonder if the teeth marks on my headset cable have anything to do with the lack of sound. Bad kitty. # 11:06 Radio shack was full of people buying the palm pre. Surprising. # 12:00 Recording on @sofanauts with Jeremy Tolbert and Damien G Walter. # 13:13 On sofanauts now. Just gave a
