You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I posted this in Bitches, and why should they have all the fun? We had some photos done for Ryan's third birthday: [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I have a new, short piece up on Hilobrow on Soren Kierkegaard. Please check it out if you like spectacular 19th century coifs or bitchy philosopher catfights.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

But wait, there's more!

Today is Angela Carter's birthday, and I love her with all my readerly, writerly heart.

I wrote about her also for Hilobrow.

Please to "Like" if you are so inclined.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

My interview with Seanan McGuire, a.k.a. Mira Grant, she of the Newsflesh, October Daye and InCryptid series, is out.

Feel free to pass it on — she's nominated for 4 (FOUR!) Hugos this year.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

I'm participating in a local Relay for Life a week from Friday. I'm on a team named after my co-worker's wife, who died of lung cancer right around the same time my brother died of a brain tumor last year, and they were about the same age. I'm dedicating my participation to him, and to all my friends currently battling cancer, which are too many, and include my Buffista friends and their loved ones wholeheartedly. I can't say, "Fuck cancer" on the fundraising page, but that's what I mean.

Sorry for the short notice, but please consider donating, if you can. [link]
