oh *yay* :P

Apparently, I have succumbed to the cold mirrorthaw brought back from Chicago. ("My husband went to Chicago for a week and all I got was this lousy virus.")

Also, we have a moderate but respectable snowpocalypse going on.

These two things mean that I will not be going to the post office today (still haven't heard from naamah_darling anyway), and the podcast poll will be staying open a while yet. And my hopes of productivity are fading fast.

Also? Bleah.

Better things

1. I need to say thank you to everyone who has responded to "After the Dragon," both here and in the comments at Fantasy Magazine and at FWD/Forward. This was a really hard story to write, and I was not convinced I'd done a good job with it, so I deeply appreciate everyone who took the time to share their response. (If you're reading this, and you know one of the commenters, please pass my thanks along.)

2. Today, yuki_onna has a Maine Coon kitten,

3. and a wonderful quote from Jacob at Television Without Pity: Writing is opening up a crack just wide enough to let some light into you, and some you onto the page, so that the next person feels less alone.

4. Continuing the awesomeness of Muppet Studios: Beaker's Ballad.

5. Yesterday's APOD was so astonishing I'm still thinking about it today.
