Moorchild kicks my ass

I'm thinking of doing all my updates in the comment section of Moorchild's profile, because she has better pictures and more people read her stuff than mine. Sigh. ;)

My First Interview

I'm responding to questions right now for Civilian Reader, who has asked me for my first interview. If you don't read his reviews, they're very good - especially since they give you the opinions of someone form the other side of the pond. Link: http://civilian-reader.blogspot.com/

Don't know when the interview will be posted, but probably within the next couple of months. Of course, I have to finish answering the questions first...

Undercover NASA

NASA busts someone trying to sell a moon rock; that's just awesome! (The bust, not the fact that someone tried to sell a moon rock). I wanted to be an astronaut and wound up being a geologist, so this is a special story.

Bad Hair, Bad!

I just got the worst haircut ever. It's not like there's a lot to mess up in the first place, which reminds me: when is that damn baldness cure coming? I uploaded the pic (it's the one where I'm wearing a plaid shirt) to my profile because it was too big to post here.

Wolrdcon Reno

Anyone going to Reno? I am!!!!! Hotels closest to the convention center are already booked so you may have to look farther afield but I went to Montreal last year and had a blast; it is definitely recommended. Link: http://www.renovationsf.org/

Goodreads Folks

I just started paging through the profiles of people on Goodreads who are interested in winning a copy of Germline (contest here: http://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...). Something struck me: there are pretty cool people out there.

So don't be surprised if you get a friend request from me!
