New year yo

Happy New Year, everybody! 2008 is in the house...

"After Effects," a somewhat dark outerspace drama with a teeny homage to the Robot Man, has sold to Aoife's Kiss #24, March 2008 issue. ::throws confetti::

Sickly update

Sick today, so no progress on "The Songs He'd Sing." I am looking to finish it off by the end of the weekend. The ending isn't looking too bright in it, but hey, that's how these things go sometimes. Life isn't always teddy bears and prancing elves.

Also, for those that are unaware, Saturday is the best holiday ever: Free Comic Book Day.

Of them all, I really want this one the most:

Pirates vs. Ninjas #1—FCBD EDITION
by Fred Perry & Wes Hartman, & Craig Babiar
Featuring a flip cover by Fred Perry and special FCBD-only material! It’s no secret that pirates and ninjas have always been at odds. At long last, two of history's most formidable opponents in physical combat will meet on the field of destiny for the ultimate showdown. Throughout the millennia, these natural enemies have left death and despair in their wake. Now, they face each other to battle for supremacy. Let the greatest battle of all time commence! 32pgs, B&W

Flip cover! Supremacy! NINJAS!

Not fooled

You know, I was planning on doing a fun prank for April Fool's Day. This weekend has just been kicking my ass with busy, busy, busy, and busy. Oh well. Maybe next year?

Happy Green Day!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! You can thank this fellow below for all that green beer you're drinking and enjoying. Really, thank him. Or else he'll bring back all the snakes...

Pi time

Happy Pi Day, everyone!

Speaking of mathematical constants, here's a list of a number of things I need to do:

• Review Robotika by Alex Sheikman and Joel Jason O'Chua, which should be up in a few days or so.
  
• Read and review Dreadful Skin by Cherie Priest.
• Read and review Brasyl by Ian McDonald.
• Er, try and do a Greenhorn comic to make up for the one I didn't do this week. Maybe. We'll see.
  
• Finish a story (either "The Morning Gift" or "The Lady of Jeweled Dreams") to submit to the MZB's Sword and Sorceress 22 anthology.
• Work on rewrite of "The Farrah Job."
• Hey, how about I not waste all my time playing Rogue Galaxy and trying to make every stupid sword from every stupid item I find? Hey, how about that? Huh?
  
• Continue work on shh secret project.
• I've run out of coffee creamer. ::cries like a loon::
• Gawd, I'm no longer even listing things to do here, just complaining off the cuff.
• What's with the weather lately?
• I want a kitty cat.
  

In other news, got a 16-day "after careful consideration, we have decided not to accept..." from The Town Drunk. Bah! This story keeps getting close at every place I send it. Either that means it has a chance elsewhere or I need to sit down with it and re-read the sucker. I'll try one more place for now. I'm a masochist, I guess.

Ack, LOST is on!
