The weather has finally begun to warm up. Last evening, we had a potluck with our neighbors. It was a lovely, warm, spring evening so we all got together in the common courtyard to chat and hang out. This courtyard is one of the things I love about our apartment. There are two building which

Apparently OMG dates from 1917. I feel so old-school now. http://is.gd/n2GE99 Wow. His torso is only one and a half heads. Looks like it’s going to be a bum entry. I thought maybe mid-back, but not with that head to torso ratio. I love the morning sun streaming through my office window. Less excited about

I realized that I talk about our cats Harriet and Marlowe quite a bit but that I’ve never introduced you to our pencil-necked little weasel. Here’s a photo of him lounging with Harriet in the sun. His name is Neil and he’s an exceptionally friendly and intelligent pencil-necked little weasel. While he can be a

As part of the Kickstarter campaign to get our puppet company to WorldCon, I will do the occasional blog post to explain what the prizes are, or to talk about the show. This is cross-posted from Kickstarter to talk about the $25 reward, which are hand-crafted puppet faces. Thank you so much to those of

So, look. Renovation has invited my puppet company to perform at Worldcon. They don’t have the budget to bring us there. I’ll already be there, but it’s a three person show and puppet shows are expensive. But we’ve been given a blessing to run a Kickstarter campaign to get there Not only do you have

I wish I were in Houston with the rest of the Odd and the Frost Giant team, but director Rob Kimbro has some photos to with you. Too tired to provide any sort of commentary or context here other than to say that we have dress rehearsal tomorrow and the first student matinee Tuesday morning.

For those of you reading along, I’ve just posted Chapter 19 of The Transfigured Lady draft. This one was interesting to work on because it’s got a scene on a train. I suspect that when I go back and reread everything later that I’ll wind up adding a lot more sensory details to the train
