Well, the plants are still missing, but we have a bill of lading number now and an idea of where they might have gone. When they were shipped out of Kodiak, Alaska, there are two shipping orders for them. On one of them, the plants would have been put on a full trailer that was
Mental note: Do not have a voice lesson on the same day as booked to record a chapter of audio fiction. On the other hand, the vocal fatigue probably helped my male characters sound a little deeper. Actually, the voice lesson was interesting today. We were working on “Summertime” and at the end of it
Today Rob and I went to pick our typewriters up from Ace Typewriter* where they had been lovingly cleaned. Oh my goodness, I cannot begin to describe how much better they type than before we took them in. The sound of each machine is different, and the action of the keyboards is great. Our Royal

Yesterday was a stunningly beautiful day; I did yardwork for the first time in ages and it felt great. There was this odd moment when I was working and realized that I was too warm. It took me a minute to make the next logical conclusion, that I could take my jacket off and be

All right, I loved The Adventures of Buckeroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, but I never imagined him in the place described here. In fact, I never imagined this at all before, and think I need to go lie down now. Thanks, Sunil. That’s right, ladies and gents, your submissions to Shimmer are passing through

Tonight we went into the studio to record Chapter Two of the secret project. At one point, the narration refers to one of the characters whistling. When we paused, Rob said, “Are you going to whistle?” “No. I can’t whistle,” I replied. A moment of silence passed with Rob’s mouth hanging slightly open. “Are you

We have a Wedgewood stove from the 40s or 50s which is built like a Packard. It’s heavy, solid metal and the best stove I’ve ever cooked on. Look at that–double ovens, a griddle and the burners. Oh my. They each have two sets of flame, so you can turn the heat way down low
Yeeeaaah, I know it’s March but the Winter issue will be out before the first day of spring. We just finished final proofing and I’m sending it to the printer tomorrow. Why are we behind this time? First there was the moving back from Iceland thing and now there’s the moving to New York thing.

Rob and I spent much of the day in the studio. It went reasonably well, but then, for some reason, the studio computer decided that it didn’t want to talk to my computer. Everything is safely saved, but it didn’t like my flash drive, despite having used it before.
Frankly, I doubt any good will come of this, but it’s an interesting petition. Puppet Buzz is advocating for Puppeteer Recognition at the Oscars. Whilst watching Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back and listening to the commentary; George Lucas stated he tried to get Frank Oz recognized for his role as Yoda as Best Supporting Actor

Oh huzzah! Oh glorious day! My old scanner would not work with my new computer and I’ve been going mad trying to get work done without one. I just got it. I did some research and decided that I wanted an HP Scanjet 4670, and turned to ebay where I lost ten different auctions trying
As if any of you writer-types read my blog and not The Slush God’s, but, just in case, here’s what Captain John Joseph Adams says about the slush pooling in the holds of Shimmer‘s pirate issue. Of course, I do have the exciting pirate filter, so you can read his comments in the piratical style
