15:19 I’m building a witch of stone at the Puppet Kitchen. Okay, not real stone, but it’ll look stoney. A witch of foam=not so impressive. # 19:07 The puppets are making me cranky. I’m going home now. #

So here’s what I did yesterday. The concept for this build is that each of the three witches has created her corporeal form out of things she’s found in the woods. So one is made of stone, one of sticks and the other of mist. I’m starting with the stone witch because she will be

We were given a lovely review in The Fix for the latest issue of Shimmer. Here’s a teaser: Beneath the glossy cover art by Aunia Kahn, the 2008 Spring issue of Shimmer is filled with illustrated stories loosely based on relationships, and how the power of love or the lack of it influences people’s lives.

14:36 I have an unexpected day off while waiting for drawings. I’m baffled and not quite sure what to do with myself. Laundry? # 16:37 Gah! Again with the exceeded CPU quota on my site. I turned off caching because traffic returned to normal. No clue what’s causing it now. # 16:47 Dark Crystal screening

Ooo! The Dark Crystal has midnight screenings on October 10th and 11th. Yes, I secured my tickets before telling you. It’s been years since I’ve seen it projected. Edited to add: Here’s a making of video.

I was heading downtown during rushhour last night and somewhat miraculously had a seat on the train. The usual crowd was trying to push in and this guy started shouting, “Move the f**k in. Move to the center. I’m getting on this train.” Not unusual. A tax broker type in the middle of the train
Rob works with spaceships. At night, the Martians open this cockpit and ooze out. They are slimy and smell like fermenting grapes. Three of their landing craft arrived at the same time. Rob is making sure that the landing gear is stable. When the landing gear isn’t stable, the spaceships fall over. That makes the
I’ve started a new project, building the three witches for MacBeth. Yay! No dead dogs! This is for the Puppet Kitchen with Michael Schupbach designing. It looks like it’s going to be a fun gig and I’ve got full permission to post process shots as we go. Today wasn’t very exciting in terms of having

We’ve definitely started into Harvest season. It’s funny, the last harvest Rob worked was 2005 but the rhythm of the winery was so much a part of our lives up until that point that it feels completely natural for him to come home smelling of grapes. He only worked a partial day today, but I
09:26 My cat is very needy today. I think it’s because the weather is changing and she just wants the warm laps. I can respect that. # 15:26 I’m heading to the post office to mail a manuscript. I just realized that I’ve written five short stories in the past month. Crazy. #

Rob picked up some new RAM for my computer, reasoning that it might help with some of the sluggishness problems I’ve been having. Alas, when installed, the computer turns on but fails to boot. So I pulled them out and put the old RAM back in. I’m sure it’s my imagination but the darn thing

See who I had breakfast with this morning? Scalzi was in town for a quick trip on his way to Viable Paradise. By happy chance, Diana Rowland was also visiting, to talk to her editor and agent. It was like a mini-con of fun!

A red-tailed hawk, apparently confused by a puppet shaped like a bird, swooped into a Midtown Atlanta parking lot Friday sending two workers ducking for cover. Jeff Domke and Alan Louis, employees at the Center for Puppetry Arts, were in the facility’s parking lot at 1404 Spring Street taking pictures of a puppet designed to
