A few bits and pieces for a Friday.

1. Remember that voting is still open for the second A Local Habitation ARC giveaway, and while there are a few clear favorites, it's still anybody's game. I'll announce the third giveaway as soon as I figure out exactly what it's going to be.

2. A Local Habitation gets a little closer every day, as this page on the Penguin Group website can attest. It's still weird and wonderful and a little terrifying to look at websites and go "wait, that's my book, I wrote that, oh whoa, that's Toby." I am assured this feeling will eventually pass. I'm...not sure I want it to.

3. If you want to see me compared to an Emma Frost-esque diamond golem, click here and join the giggling. I don't object to being a golem, or being made out of diamond, and I admit it, my productivity is occasionally terrifying even to me. I am also assured that this phase in my life will eventually pass. That idea scares me.

4. Things about this weekend that I'm really excited about: the first holiday party of the season. Getting more time to work on Blackout. The premiere of the Alice miniseries on Syfy. It's by the people who did Tin Man last year, and while it doesn't star Zooey Deschanel (a definite minus if you ask me), it looks absolutely incredible. Plus it has Connor from Primeval, and he is mad hot.

5. Matt Fraction has declared that Emma Frost is the love of Scott Summers's life. Matt Fraction is my new favorite person, at least for right now.

Tonight, I'm going out with my cousins to do something mysterious which required me to buy two rolls of quarters from the bank. I am wary but interested to learn what lies in store on the misty streets of San Francisco. Here's hoping you're planning for a wonderful weekend of your own, and feel free to let me know what you have going on!

I am pining in advance for Alice since of course I'm going to be at a conference in Arizona (and I'm pretty sure they don't get the Syfy channel in the hotel, IIRC from previous years...all the nonsense of sorting out MST aside). Of course, conference at a resort in Arizona, so very painful. ;)

At least I have someone taping it for me and I will be getting it Dec 18th.

I hope it is as awesome as it looks. While I am not usually a cosplay sort of person, I keep having urges to make an Alice costume for next Halloween. And having done American McGee's Alice once already, well. Anyways. I digress.

Have fun with quarters! Quarters at least do not seem to imply strippers. Unless they are video game strippers.

...yeah, I think that's leftover cold medication talking.

It has been as awesome as it looked.

Seriously.

Wow.
