The apparently obligatory Nebula post

Sigh. I feel uncomfortable with doing this, but since I got nudged about this, and since everyone else seems to be doing it, you can find a list of my Nebula eligible works here . Basically, everything except for "The Fuddles of Oz" (originally published in Canada) and the poetry since July 2008 is eligible. Since most of them appeared in out-of-the-way venues, though, and the ones that appeared...

V, episode 2

Back by popular demand, I snark episode two of V , "There Is No Normal Anymore." Show OPENS by recapping the last episode in under a minute, thus PROVING that most of the 43 minute pilot episode was a WASTE OF TIME. Juliet: I don't know who to trust anymore. Certainly not my writers. Or the director. Or my agent, who took me from Lost to this. Priest: As a priest, I should, at this ...

Narrative

When heading out Monday I nearly spilled into the street because of a crack in the sidewalk at an odd angle. I clutched the handlebars, straightened myself, braked, stopped in the hot sun for several minutes until the ground stopped shifting and my feet were actually where my eyes said they were. Then I let the iPod sing out Emmylou Harris and cheered up. You'd think by now I'd be used to ...

Mariness, Readercon, and Disability

Go read everything Mariness has to say about her experience at ReaderCon . Overheard, Friday night when I was having problems walking: "I wouldn't even bother to come to a con if I walked like that." "You'd think she'd get a wheelchair." "I guess we're letting the freaks and crips in." "Higher level of freaks this year." Overheard, Friday, when I was bringing water to a woman in the bathroom...
