Future Tech & Plot Bunnies
This is going to be super quick – I forgot I was going to be in a hotel room this morning, prior to going to an NHL hockey game (my first live playoff game). Last week on Facebook, I came across these links (and I can’t for the life of me remember who posted them […]
Oblivion
After finally being able to breathe (somewhat), we went to see Oblivion. I shall try not to give away any spoilers. It was rather decent (and miles better than Prometheus, so that’s something). The beginning moved rather slowly and felt like a big, long ponderous prologue, but the odd pacing was balanced by some vistas […]
When Science meets Cthulhu
I think I promised you another nonsense blog, right? I’m still on a crazy deadline, although I did manage to make the move across the country (cat as carry-on & all) with only minor mishaps. Thanks to my lovely husband, who found this link for my blog, ensuring I could devote more time to my […]
T Minus 10 Days…
I’m not even sure I’m using that title anywhere near correctly, but since I’ve got 6 days left in the office at my day job, 10 days left before my cross-country move, AND 19 days before I’ve got a (non-sci-fi) manuscript due, the brain isn’t quite engaged on non-move, non-writing subjects. Stress… I haz it. […]
Hodge Podge
The evil, never-ending manuscript is finally done! Needs some editing still, but DONE nonetheless. I was aiming for 40K and ended up with 66K. But that wasn’t the only issue. During the making of this most recent sci-fi: I had several months of back pain such that I was physically incapable of writing. My father […]
Space Age Clothing
It’s blog day again! I’m in trouble! Between trying to finish my manuscript (supposed to be 40K, is now 57K and NOT DONE YET) and dealing with… ugh, so many problems related to the sale of our house, I’m slowly losing my mind. Just when I was starting to panic, though, I saw this link […]
Continuum and Time Travel
Anyone watching this? It’s a new SyFy series where incarcerated terrorists and a cop from the year 2077 mistakenly travel back to 2012 when the terrorists stage an escape just prior to their execution. And in 2012, the tech the law enforcement uses is only in it’s infancy, because the guy who invented it is […]
Cyberpunking It Up – Looking ahead to 2013, Part Deux
Part of my goals this year as preparation for moving to California (assuming it happens) has been to weed through my book collection. I have several hundred reference books and a couple thousand paperbacks. Most of them I moved down here from Toronto (my husband moved about 30 comic boxes & several hundred hard cover […]
Looking Ahead to 2013
So far, 2013 is shaping up to be like 2012 – kinda crap. Last year I had back problems that put back my writing schedule by months. This year, my current goal is to try to shake this horrible flu. If this post ends up a little rambly, this time we can blame the fever, […]
Boxing Day Musings
Hello? Is anyone out there? *crickets* It’s Boxing Day (the day after Christmas for those who don’t know, and a holiday I miss as a Canadian living in the States) – I hope those of you that celebrate Christmas had a wonderful day. But I also suspect that means very few people are out browsing […]
