Well, we're back from the beach and we're all sunburned and windburned and exhausted. The dog especially. The minute we got home she flopped down on her bed and hasn't left it since.

OK, maybe I'll make [...:]

On Costumes

So last night, I went to Mary Robinette Kowal's Shades of Milk and Honey reading at Powell's (which was quite a lovely event and she did a puppet show that was delightful and damn me, I did not get pictures but I did get one of her adorable promotional sandalwood fans). Anyway, after she [...:]
