Item the second: this has literally been sitting in my link soup for a year, waiting for me to find something that makes it topical. As I have failed, I am now providing the link in isolation, because it amuses me. Moshez comments on zombies and weapons, and why my Horror Survival FAQ is sometimes sub-optimal. Join me in giggling.
Item the third: while I'm linking to random crap that makes me smile, here. Have the Animal Review review of the deep sea anglerfish. They give the anglerfish an overall F for being horrifying and upsetting and not really very friendly at all. Amusingly enough, these are all the reasons I give the anglerfish an overall A. For AWESOME.
Item the fourth: I can't remember if I ever actually linked to these, despite their being, you know, mad awesome, so here. Have a link to some absolutely gorgeous icons that were made using lyrics from my latest album, Wicked Girls. The icons, which are by
Item the fifth: Megan Lara's art is pure hammered awesome.
Item the sixth: I managed to find the Dead Tired Frankie Stein doll last night, which means a) I now have all the individual Dead Tired dolls except for Cleo De Nile, who I'm hoping to find this weekend, b) everyone at my local Toys R Us knows me on sight, and c) I am a total nerd. I am, thus far, a total nerd who has managed to resist the lure of the ball-jointed Soom doll, however, so I'm calling this a win for me, even as I call it a loss for my shelf space.
Item the seventh: I am so tired it physically hurts. I have to sleep tonight, or I'm just going to dissolve off my own bones like an overcooked chicken or one of those airline passengers in the first episode of Fringe. I didn't sleep at all on Tuesday night, and last night was our first really hot night of the summer, so the cats kept waking me up to freak out. Please play nicely today, as I may start to tremble and cry otherwise.
What's news with you?

Also, I'm a bit jealous of your dolls. I can't bring myself to buy more than one of each character of the Monster Highs, but I really want their outfits. (Maybe I'll get more when I go through my custom doll backlog -- I already need a Lagoona that's not the original, since I bought the original for customization, so still have her clothing.)

So if you're wondering about your books and airports, here's the rundown:
Baton Rouge, LA - none
Charlotte, NC - none
Atlanta, GA - none
Baltimore-Washington International - Feed and Late Eclipses faced out in Science Fiction, but no Deadline.
Hartford, CT - Deadline faced out in Fiction, but no other Seanan or Mira books.

I understand the tireds
June 16 2011, 17:33:51 UTC 6 years ago
Every day since I've been waking up at about 3:40AM (instead of 5:10 when my alarm is set for) and I wish it would stop.
I'm eye aching tired.
I so undersand the tireds.
So far the only good thing about this, is that my cat Shiro will come over when I wake up and pat me on the face to reassure me. He's a very sweet kitty.

I am so very sorry. I share your tired. And Shiro is awesome.

Our neighbors set off loud fireworks and firecrackers in the street from about 8 PM every night to 10 PM, unless it's raining. The cats then slink off to find somewhere The Big Boom can't get them.
Meanwhile, my results for 2 weeks into my CPAP machine ownership are "beautiful," according to the nice medical professional I spoke with earlier today who looked over my results. She said she wished everyone used mine as diligently as I did. I can't imagine going through all those tests and waiting and getting a $1500 piece of equipment just to not use it.

I am so jealous of you.
I'm claustrophobic. Not in the crowds-of-people way, but in the Do Not. Cover. My FACE. way. It doesn't matter that the thing covering my face was, in fact, blowing filtered air up my nose; I was having panic attacks and nightmares, and not sleeping. The nose-only one didn't cover enough of my face to trigger panic attacks, but my chronic sinus congestion pretty much ensured that I would wake up after an hour or so gasping for breath. So I wasn't sleeping then, either. I found myself making bargains that I would only use it on the weekends, because then I could afford to sleep in later to make up for the lack of sleep using the machine gave me... and promptly realized that I was being stupid, and that the correct response to a machine that was making me sleep less than I already was was to quit using it.
And that is how I wound up with a very expensive doorstop.

Most of my family has read Deadline now. The last likely victim is my teenager, who graduated last weekend and is taking Deadline as her read-on-the-plane book to go visit her Other Family.
Does people telling you to "write faster" make you as crazy as it makes me? I swear to god I need that machete for people who leave reviews at fanfiction.net that only say "Update soon". On days I've posted two chapters. What are people thinking?

I'd rather have the pack of velociraptors on my side though. In fact, I liked the idea so much I wrote a series of drabbles about it.
Sleep well.
