Story At Everyday Weirdness

My story, One with Everything, which you may have read here years ago, appears at Everyday Weirdness today. Take a peek, it's super short: http://everydayweirdness.com/e/20100505/

The Eighth Age Is Up

The Eighth Age is up at Everyday Weirdness: http://everydayweirdness.com/e/20090812/

Wrote a flash fiction piece early this morning, The Girl with the Halo. Don't know what I'm doing with it yet. It may become 117 if I find the right place.

Tiny Stories In The Wine

Had a story on Thaumatrope today. The site was revamped a couple of weeks ago and it looks fantastic. Also, each author gets a page now which is incredibly cool. Now I can put all my Thaumatrope stories in the sidebar with one link. Note the dates, as some of them were holiday related.

Tomorrow, The Eighth Age is set to run on Everyday Weirdness. I'll post a link then.

I'm heading outside in about an hour or so to see the Perseids. Won't you join me?

Yay!

I sold The Eighth Age to Everyday Weirdness! It should be up on their site next week. I'll post a link when I see it there.

Geekety Geekety Geekety

My following has grown by twenty percent in a single day! Welcome Lisa in Indiana! If you really are Lisa in Indiana, that is. Your picture looks suspiciously like Grant's. Coincidence? How many faceless grey-skinned people are there out there? Hmmmm . . .

It occurs to me that I have not yet posted an actual link to The Golem at Everyday Weirdness. Now I have. Hit the little link at the bottom of that page and it will bring you back here. It's a freaky loop that will blow your mind!

Scalzi tells us of a new edition of The Forever War coming later this month. I'm pretty sure I have to read this again. I haven't read it since high school and I think there's more stuff in it than there used to be. I have to read that new stuff. The Forever War is one of my favorite books and I am not alone. If you haven't read it, do so now. Or on February 17th so you can get a copy that's not covered in greasy fingerprints. I'm just kidding. No one picks up science fiction books.

Saw this at the job last week:

The Pluto Files: The Rise and Fall of America's Favorite Planet by Neil deGrasse Tyson. I like Neil deGrasse Tyson. I like seeing him on Nova Science Now (Though I am a big fan of Robert Krulwich, whom he replaced (Am I super-geeking?)). But I don't, I'm sorry to say, give a rat's ass about Pluto, or whether or not it's a planet. The truth is, I would probably still like the book. Though America may disagree, I'm unconvinced that Pluto is its favorite planet. I'm putting my money on Earth (both literally and figuratively) because that's where America keeps all its stuff. Like air.

The International Silver String Submarine Band!

Late breaking news: My story, The Golem, has been picked up by Everyday Weirdness and will run on their site on January 30th, 2009.

In celebration, I have retained the services of the preeminent musical group of the last century. Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present to you The International Silver String Submarine Band!
