I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Thanks, y'all. That's what I thought, but it looked funny.

Our wings are not tired.

It does look funny. I choose the 1st, on looks alone, so don't pay any attention to me.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Yes, it's the second. And yes, it does look funny. If you want to do a nice compromise, you can leave off the quotations and capitalise the P.

Greetings from an internet cafe in NYC.

Hey, Deb! Enjoying yourself?

Oh, mercy. Yes, I am. Yesterday was World Horror and the Persephone panel; it was also an amazing piece of luck, in that I wanted to drop off the chocolate espresso bean cookies I had brought to give David Evangelista at the salon so that I wouldn't have to carry them, and David walked in, and he had Erica (the executive producer of the CBS Early Show) with him, so we had a nice squeeing reunion. And I took the opportunity while her eyes were going wide as she munched a cookie to warn her that I had something to pitch to her, a project, and she said cool! Do you have my email, or do you need it?

And I did pitch it to the talent (that would be David - and the SF makeover is part of his professional highlight reel), and David says the Early Show does book launches all the time, and they should do mine, and I should tell Erica, and where did I want to do it?

So I am totally chuffed. Also gawjuss, with hair and stuff all done for free.

Plus? Dinner tonight with good buddy and DMLA stablemate Laura Anne Gilman, and we may both have stories in the 44 Clowns anthology.

Because books.

Way to start off your trip, Deb! Sniffle. God, I miss New York.

Whooey, Deb! Hobnobbing it! Sounds like a very satisfactory trip.

Heh. I totally don't; this is the second trip in a row that I've actually found thoroughly enjoyable, and I wouldn't and couldn't live here again for anything you could offer me. I snarled at a guy on the train today, and I had something unpleasantly resembling a panic attack on Canal Street, when I got stuck in a human traffic jam.

But I'm enjoying the visit hugely.

I really have to go, one day. EVERY "What City are You?" says it's me. I always think it will be somewhere in CA...I guess I have a little 'tude, after all.

Oddly enough, I like human traffic jams--not active mindless mobs, but crowded streets. They make me feel nicely anonymous and weirdly powerful. As if I could do anything and there are too many potential suspects for anyone to pin it on me.
