  • 00:05:10: @Esperacchius Yeah, ABC released “Heat Wave” as a tie-in novel. It hit #16 on the NYT Bestseller List, if I’m not mistaken.
  • 00:07:22: Blurbing. (Woah, why isn’t that word setting off Tweetdeck’s spell check? Don’t tell me it’s an actual word!)
  • 00:19:38: Had a sudden flashback to my dad singing “Oh Come All Ye Faithful” in church. Can’t fathom what triggered it. My brain is weird.
  • 00:21:39: @RockyShields Late next year, actually. I’d wager late November, but I’ve never gotten anything definitive.
  • 00:22:28: @RockyShields “Webinar” was another. I still refuse to accept it as a word and bristle whenever I see it.
  • 00:29:38: @RockyShields Not to mention two Dresden short stories coming Spring 2010, “Curses” and “Even Hand”!
  • 00:37:31: Short story talk makes me think of my college roomie, who has one in an upcoming Datlow/Windling anthology. So freaking thrilled for her.
  • 08:13:12: @Esperacchius I don’t understand the problem…
  • 08:15:01: @terioncalling Yeah, that’s why I split the prologue in half. :D
  • 08:25:14: Stupid morning. Woke at 7 to go to gym, but decided I was too sleepy. Woke at 7:30, then hit snooze. Woke at 8:10. Off to work!
  • 10:10:05: Hmm. I have an mp4 file that I need to split to fit YouTube’s time limit. I’m on a PC. Any suggestions, or should I just use iMovie at home?
  • 10:51:39: @longshotauthor @carcamper Audio book release dates: Death Masks is slated for Nov 2009, Blood Rites and Dead Beat are July 2010.

  • 22:52:21: Back from 2nd of three Katy Pfaffl gigs this month. I looooooove her. Video to come tomorrow!
  • 22:54:26: Show = fantastic, but I realized midway through one of her awesome new songs that it fits a ship that squicks the HELL out of me. NOOOOOOO!
  • 23:03:59: @RockyShields Oh, I’m always game for a good concert! It’s just that my favourite musicians have been out in greater numbers lately. :D
  • 23:06:01: RT @laughingsquid: right on, you can now “Report as spam” on Twitter http://bit.ly/aZ6OM via @stop // HUZZAH!
  • 23:07:36: @beachkid I have some masochistic tendencies when it comes to fandom. :D
  • 23:13:37: RT @boymonster: MGTOW: http://bit.ly/1C1Q37 // *HORROR* My god, their LOGO.
  • 23:27:06: Get excited for “Changes,” folks! Intrigue! Drama! Grammar!
  • 23:46:43: YAYAYAY! Found a ship that works even better with the awesome song, and it’s a ship I like! Headtrauma, begone!
