Got it. Marked. I probably won't get to this until tomorrow.
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I am such a technodweebiehead. Without help, even the most basic software would steal my underpants.
Step Three? Profit!

Roz Kaveny! Dayum!
Weird bit of six degrees-ness--one of the authors I archive is betaed by Roz Kaveny. Which is immensely cool. Because, Roz.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My moment of "Holy shit" was getting Sandman 6 (Brief Lives, right?Edit: or not) and seeing one of the stories dedicated to Roz.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Which is immensely cool. Because, Roz.
wrod. Bought Gaiman's Fables and Reflections t'other day, and was jolted to see that it's dedicated to nine people, including Roz. Which was cool.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
heh. I'm awaiting an email back, to give me Roz's current email addy. yahoo tried to a Spinal Tap-drummer on me a few months back and most of my addy list was devoured.
Dana, good grief, anytime at all is fine.
BTW, mild gloat: I just went down to get the mail and awaiting me via Priority was the complete manuscript of Marta Randall's new book, which I get to check over and do beta on. (gloat gloat gloat)
Because I don't read a lot of scifi, and Islands is still one of my favourites in the genre.

Deborah, Nic and Marty would definitely remember Camille who was too often an island of sanity amid a sea of yammerheads.

Marta Randall's new book
Ooooh. I loved that novel of hers, "Sword in Winter". If that's the right name. Glad to hear she's still writing.
I never expected to make connections with professional writers through fandom, and yet it's happening in weird ways. I'm 2 degrees from a number of people I really like. Very cool.

Consuela, it's mindblowing sometimes. OK, I'm a professional writer but there are writers out there that reduce me to simper-levels that nothing else can. And I found myself in conversation elsewhere with a very nice woman called Ayelet Waldman, who writes mysteries, and we were chatting away and it turns out she's married to MICHAEL CHABON!
I nearly plotzed. I mean, Wonder Boys Michael Chabon. Kavalier and Klay Michael Chabon. Freakin' PULITZER PRIZE FOR LITERATURE Michael Chabon.
Gibber blench drool. I turned into Twit Central for a minute or two and had to walk around the house to calm myself down.
edit: Marta R edited "Famous Flower of Serving Men" for me, the second one in the current series. Dragged the entire honking thing to Mexico with her and gave me an incredibly in-depth edit while she was on holiday. I owe her hugely, and am hooking her up with an agent friend.

Bwah, Deb. That's marvelous.
And I adored Kavalier and Clay as well. So. Much. Fun.
