Good morning, class. Here's an interesting poem by Anne Bradstreet, which I had to write a paper on for my American Literature class a while back, and I'd posted this on the old Blogger site, so you'll see comments from that. The Author to Her Book Thou ill-form'd offspring of my feeble brain, Who after… Continue reading Anne Bradstreet–The Author to Her Book

All Hail…
...for I am the Victorian goth queen. Okay, so there's this guy at work whom I remember when he first started. He was goth and now he looks Amish. I'm not kidding. Anyway, last week, I decided to look like a girl, meaning I wore a skirt and basically dressed nice. Black maxi skirt, black… Continue reading All Hail…
FYI on Spring Copy Edits
...because Spring Break, yo! I will be unavailable for copy and line edits March 14-23 so I can work on my own writing/editing. My editor has promised to have my book Dusk of Death back to me by then, and I can't wait to work on it. I'd like to release it this summer, especially at Phoenix Comicon.… Continue reading FYI on Spring Copy Edits
Y’know, It’d Be Nice…
...if the guys who dip their fingers into the network and systems would freakin' tell the rest of us just what in the hell they're doing once in a while. You know what I'm talking about if you work in IT. Programmers, et. al., don't bother to tell you "oh hey, by the way, we… Continue reading Y’know, It’d Be Nice…
I Forget…
...how difficult and distorted and cruel life can be at times, and how some of that is my fault. Most know that Umi (my mother--yes, I have to remind you now and then) has the beginning stages of dementia, or as we like to call it, demential (thanks for the typo, Zia). It helps to… Continue reading I Forget…
Ready, Aim, Fire!
Last week, during a rare lull in calls, one of my co-workers broke out the Nerf guns. She, of course, aimed into the boss's office first. You try to not scream when one of those bullets comes flying over the cubicle wall at you while you're on the phone. Of course, you realize, this means… Continue reading Ready, Aim, Fire!
Hilarity Ensues…
...in the form of ignorance when it comes to computers. So last week, I heard this from another cubicle: "There is a physical power button, ma'am . . . no, not the dell logo." And this was my reaction... It gets better... "Ma'am, what kind of computer is it? No. Do you have a tower?… Continue reading Hilarity Ensues…
A Case of the Monday…
...stupids. No, really. Pay attention. "No, ma'am, the screen is the monitor." Listening in on a co-worker's call this past week proved more fruitful for post ideas. It's also making me laugh hysterically in my little cubicle in the corner in conjunction with the calls I'm getting. Like the person I just talked to. They didn't have… Continue reading A Case of the Monday…
Why Kick-Ass Heroines Need to Exist
Are you waiting for Prince Charming to come rescue you from your common life? Why? Do you need to be rescued? We have raised generations of girls who think this way, and I'll admit that after being raised on Disney stories about princesses being rescued from whatever fate held them back, I was one of… Continue reading Why Kick-Ass Heroines Need to Exist
How Hard Is It…
...to create a new password? Apparently, it's extremely difficult when I have to remote in to help and still, the person just can't seem to type their newly created password correctly. FIVE TIMES, at the very least. *headdesk* Yes, I have to type it for them sometimes. I *wish* I was joking. In other news,… Continue reading How Hard Is It…
