We didn’t have to be to work until 2:00 today, which was lovely. I slept in. Emily and I met and had lunch downtown and then we went to work. It was amazingly low key. I worked some eyebrows and moved a monitor. That was about it. There was one glorious thing, though. I biked […]
This is more than a little silly, but fun. Are You a Yankee or a Rebel? My natural score comes up as “70% Dixie. Just under the Mason-Dixon Line,” which explains why my Tennessee relatives call me the “Northern Belle.” My brother comes up as 86% Dixie and he’s lived out of the country longer

On The Slush God Speaketh he says that they have 50 copies of Fantasy and Science Fiction to give away to folks who do a promotional blog about it. Now, I read the magazine in pdf and it’s been years since I’ve had a genuine print copy in my hand. So although I don’t need

Rob just accepted a job as Assistant Post Production Supervisor, which means we’ll be staying in Iceland until at least the end of August. We’re both delighted that we’ll be able to extend our stay. Need I add, that this gives you more time to come visit?
Thank heavens. I don’t know about you, but while they were doing the upgrade on my website I was really feeling cut-off. I’ll try to catch you up on the past couple of days but I’ll cheat by back-dating the entries.
The first shot on the call sheet today was Air Trixie. This was the first time that a full-body greenscreen puppet got used this season. Sarah worked Trixie’s head and torso. Emily worked the arms and I was on feet. For the shot, Trixie had to leap up and do a karate pose to the

Check out the review of our production of Archibald MacLeish’s Fall of the City. …that this is an artful production, sound design and music are beautifully rendered with voice acting in absolute top form. I was in Iceland when the recording happened at Willamette Radio Workshop, but we had a release party here. I’m so

Things on set have been very busy and while Dean was here I didn’t want to update my journal in the evenings. We are between company right now, although I just heard that our friend Wayne will be coming to visit us soon and that Rob’s folks will follow after that. I’m looking forward to
We spent the day at Snæfellsnes with Dean Sharenow. Dean is Rob’s college roommate and is half of the bandKill Henry Sugar. (I’m listening to his music now and highly recommend it.) The weather was foul when we set out and I really wondered if we had made a mistake since you could not see
Okay, it’s a small thing, but I’m still pretty excited about it. Shimmer made the top five bestsellers list at Clarkesworld Books for the Week ending April 23, 2006. Kind of cool.

For the first time in what feels like weeks, I have not manipulated any trash. I did live hands today for several scenes and am fairly tired. Rob’s college roomate and good friend, Dean, is out visiting us. He’s a lot of fun. We went to the rotating restaurant on the top of the Pearl.
I just found out that I’ve been accepted into the new Dr. Who anthology coming out in hardcover in June 2007. When I was growing up, the local public TV station carried Dr. Who and I started watching at exactly the right age. I loved the show. The opportunity to write a story with the
On Friday, they are going to do an update of my server which means that sometime between Friday and Monday it and my email may go down. Be patient.
When we arrived at the studio, Audrey immediately started sniffing the ground of the lobby, like she could tell her human was there. So I let her off lead and she started tracing the path, looking for her girl. Oh, what a happy reunion they had. It was really sweet. Audrey was vibrating with excitement.

Today was the first day back at work and I seemed to spend most of the day working trash in various forms. I started off with manipulating the trash can that one of the puppets was “holding,” then on to the giant ball of trash that another one was “holding” and then a trash can
