Very short entry today. Highlights of the weekend:

  • Bought books:
    The Complete D.R. & Quinch, Yea'rs Best SF 15, and Born Standing Up

  • Went bowling (and had a really off night)

  • Moved a filing cabinet across town

  • Got a lot of groceries and did the usual weekend chores

  • Worked a bit on TumbleTap stuff

  • Got some decent writing done

  • Played some good music

Fascinating, eh?

Lots of work today--editing, laying out, prepping, looking over advertising materials, working on quotes, updating webpages, etc. It was a pretty good weekend, and I got a lot of stuff done including some layout work on TumbleTap books and drafting out proposal letters to artists. Saturday was pretty lazy, but Sunday got busy and I still feel a little short short of sleep. This morning started a little later than usual for a Monday (5am instead of 3am), but breakfast is cooking and I have coffee in front of me, so time to attack the day. It'll be a route. It'll be the Battle of Agincourt and I'm the British and my To Do list is the French, ready to be cut down by my mighty longbow.

Speaking of the French...


Rumor has it...Wearing belts with suspenders is more than just a fashion crime. In France, actual "fashion police" are authorized by the Paris Metropolitan Police to issue tickets to individuals who commit certain fashion faux pas. Other offenses include spandex, leg-warmers with high heels, and belly shirts. Repeat offenders can be incarcerated in local jails until they can have proper attire delivered to them by friends or relatives.

Not the link of the day, but figured I'd share this past Sunday's post at Red Rocket Station where I rant about the whole Sci Fi/Syfy controversy.

Today's link goes to an old favorite: Efanzines.com - home to the PDF versions of, and links to, some great fanzines. Check out 2009 Best Fanzine Hugo nominees The Drink Tank, Argentus, and Challenger here.

Cheers!
