I found a blurb about the book The Secrets of Jin-shei on Sci Fi Wire today, and it sounded intriguing enough for me to find out more about it. It sounds like an interesting story, although the premise does remind me too much of the first-sister bond of the Aiel in Robert Jordan’s Wheel of…
As I still fiddle (yes, I am avoiding real work at the mo!), I realize that the problem with black text in input boxes in the comments pop up thingy is only a problem in Firefox. It’s actually ok in IE. Hmph. *scratches head* This is what I get for not keeping up enough with…
And I’m easily diverted—train wrecks catch my eye. I found the show “The Girls Next Door” by accident—the show about Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends—and I find it hilariously funny.

I am still tweaking this damn new…

This is my first “full” Tuesday–teaching at UT and then at SPC Gibbs campus; home by 8 ish. In the words of the Buffy/Angel/Firefly production company: “Uuugh. Aaaaargh.” Note to self: Never, ever agree…
Getting the blog going again has been a royal pain in the arse! The *real* fun will be trying to get my past posts into this new installation. Oh yes, so much fun to be had! Sometime next century I might actually blog again. Quick note: The comment feature isn’t working right yet, and archives…
