We're up to Winter Storm Vulcan now.
I refuse to recognize names for storms that are not hurricanes/typhoons. It's just too ridiculous. How long before we end up with Sunshower Shelley or Afternoon Drizzle Dora?
Fire bad. Tree pretty.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Yay Suzi! COngratulations!
I just got off a quick conference call, and you know, as much as I like the coworkers here and the casual office environment (jeans, no office manager around, very low-key), I am not going to be envying these guys in a few months. They're working on a series of monster reports that are going to be challenged in court by a ton of angry Westerners (ranchers, miners, and environmentalists), and it's going to be u.g.l.y.

This has amused me greatly. Thank you for my Wednesday laugh.

Insane winds. The front porch was howling.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We're getting those howling winds here in Mont. County, sarameg. Made driving home from my MIL's house a bit interesting...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
We had big winds last night. Not the same system I'm sure.
So I didn't nap or run, instead I am trying to figure out how to turn off the water so I can fix the leaky faucet in the kitchen because it is just leaking too much. Could've sworn there was a valve between the house and the street somewhere, but I'm damned if I can find it.
I am halfway planning to call in "plumbing mishap" tomorrow...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'm sure there are a number of sofa stores out there who have no idea why some customers are snickering. Or there are some very smug business owners who smirk every time they answer the phone and say their name.
Like the good people at our local chain of trade and industrial stores, Total Tools.

To celebrate my liberation from the crutches I hit up Old Navy and the Container Store and was able to SHOP. Got some green and yellow clothes for vacation and a couple of storage bins that I've been thinking about so when I unpack I can put things where I want.
Now I'm tuckered and I still have packing to do.

Clueless writing/publishing industry question time! (And I'll take this over to GWW if people think that's a better place for it.) Do people get paid to write introductions to books? I've been contacted by an indie press about writing an introduction to the reprint of one of my favorite vampire novels. And while I'm almost certainly going to do it no matter what, money would be cool, too.
