Jodi and I went to the fabric store where the bear’s fur came from and bought enough to do two more bears. It’s now on its way to Iceland via U.S. Post. Initially they said that shipping would cost $238.50 (at the cheap end. The high end was $700) because the fur was too big […]
I’ve made it to Brooklyn where I’m staying with Jodi and Sam. Bizarrely, Stefan was on the flight with me from Iceland but we didn’t realize it until baggage claim. Jodi arranged dinner with Sam Jonathan, Emily and Chris at Gobo. Some very good food and not over-salted, which was such a relief. I go
I spotted this review of Apex Digest #6 while waiting for my airplane. Yay! Another strong piece is Cerbo en Vitra ujo, the story of Grete and her attempt to find her lost boyfriend, Kaj, whom she fears is lost to the body harvesters. Mary Robinette Kowal’s story is based on skilful world creation, with

Sprint requires a two-year service contract to turn my phone on for the two months I’ll be home. No. No, thank you. I’m looking for a new service. Who do you use? Do you like your cell service or do you hate it?
Jæja, I’m sitting in the airport waiting for my flight to leave to the U.S. People keep asking me if I’m excited to be going home and I keep saying, “No.” Don’t get me wrong. There are people that I’m very much looking forward to seeing and things that I’ve missed about Portland, but sometime
Well, mostly finished. I’m dropping him off at the seamstress’s tomorrow. She’ll make the doctor’s jacket for him as well as doing some finish work that I am much happier to delegate. Meanwhile, I will be getting on a plane and flying back to the States. I stopped by Gummi Þor’s to show him the
One of my co-workers was in today with his kid. She’s just started walking and is pre-verbal…not sure how old that makes her. Anyway, I fast-forwarded the latest video to the point where the bear dances. She sat there and made us play that section over and over by pointing at the screen and grunting

As noted last week, I’m not going to post this week. Now, I asked you to record a story yourself. If you did and would like comments on it, paste a link into the comments of this post. Meanwhile, I’d like to offer you The Time Traveler Show #9 Halloween Special, which has an interview

I’m posting while I try to gather my wits. I’d opened the mouth as I planned to insert the scrim. While I had the head open, I peeled back the black fabric on the roof of his mouth to drillout some more holes for the actor to breath more easily. On the second hole, as
I saw this on Patrick Swenson’s blog. He’s a mere 14% evil. You Are 22% Evil A bit of evil lurks in your heart, but you hide it well. In some ways, you are the most dangerous kind of evil. How Evil Are You?
I met with the seamstress today and she’s confident that making the jacket will be easy. We talked about the need for the pockets to be gigantic to allow the bear’s paws inside. I’ll drop the bear’s body off with her on Saturday so she can make the pattern for the jacket. Here’s a video

I went to work and worked on the bear. From 10:30-12:00, I went to my last Icelandic class. I have a certificate now to prove that I’ve taken the course, because you can’t tell by talking to me. Went back to work. Bought new glue gun and finished skinning the head–er, that means that I
