I have plotted out the first three volumes of the StarCraft: Ghost Academy manga, which is not-entirely-coincidentally all I'm contracted for. *wry grin* I'm gonna take a break, watch yesterday's CSI: NY, then read it over again before sending it off to TokyoPop.

I am typing this from the local Starbucks. Still getting used to the very wee keyboard. In particular, I keep hitting the up arrow instead of "Shift," the 9 instead of i, and 0 instead of o. But I'll get used to it.
In any event, the little bugger needs a name. I'm leaning toward Scout II, since Scout was the name of my 1977 Ford Pinto, which was the same color as this little guy, but that's kinda dull. I'm open to suggestions from y'all.
So suggest away! The winner gets a character named after them in Star Trek: A Singular Destiny....

I have just gotten off the phone with norda, and we're all set -- there will be many many copies of Doctor Who: Short Trips: The Quality of Leadership at Shore Leave 30 this July. I will be selling the book at Meet the Pros Friday night and other places at the convention for the low low price of $20 -- that's a Shore Leave 30 special price. (The book retails for $28-30 U.S., plus shipping, depending on the exchange rate.)
As an added bonus, if you get the book at Shore Leave, not only will you save a few bucks, you will also be able to get the anthology editor and nine of the twelve authors to sign the thing for you, as the following will all be attending the convention:
It's also, if I do say so myself, a damnfine anthology with some excellent stories about the first eight Doctors meeting leaders throughout history (and elsewhere).

According to suricattus, it's National Teacher Appreciation Day, so to all the teachers out there -- in particular girasole, rosenhaus, and all the other teachers on the ol' f-list -- I appreciate you!!!!

I bought an itty-bitty mini-laptop basically out of fear. The hinges on my laptop have gone all wonky, and I'm literally afraid to close it. And the mini-laptop only cost $300 and is much lighter. All it really does is allow me to write, but it takes up less space, is lighter, and doesn't have busted hinges. And it didn't cost that much.
It's also sky blue, the same color as my first car. *wry grin*

It's perhaps telling that most of the arguments used against the Lovings marrying are the exact same arguments used now about gay marriage. Also: the law that the Lovings broke, and for which they were arrested, and which had to be overturned by the Supreme Court's decision on Loving v. Virginia, was called the Racial Integrity Act.
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose...
Rest in peace, ma'am.
