Shiny bits for a February day.

This is one of those days that calls to mind the opening line of Clive Barker's classic The Thief of Time: "The great gray beast February had eaten Harvey Swick alive." February is a monster, and we're all being digested. In an effort to slow the process, here are a few interesting things from my link file.

Susan, who is splendid, and who makes amazing hand-crafted leather goods, is making leather wrist straps with the Ashes of Honor ding bat on them (with my permission, naturally). That's not all she has to offer (my cats love her catnip toys, for example). Check her out!

Here are some rejected warning signs for you. I basically want to put these all around my house, especially "Annnnnnnnd...you're infected." That, and "We Apologize For What is About to Occur," which may eventually be the title of one of my books.

Publishers Weekly did a profile on me and it's pretty much amazing. I'm just saying.

Also I went on the SF Signal Podcast and spent like, an hour talking about television and how the Syfy Channel Saturday night movies have lost their integrity. You can listen to the whole thing here. Warning: It turns out I swear a lot. Who knew?

In other news, I really need to do a couple of mega review round-ups; my link file is currently threatening to eat my soul in the night, and that would be bad.

Happy Wednesday!

You double-majored in folklore/mythology and herpetology. Damn, woman! You are so many kinds of awesome. I was double majoring in zoloogy and history at Michigan State before I had to leave for financial reasons and people are always like, "Why would you major in zoology and history?" Because that's what I'm interested in, so why the hell not? As much as I enjoy blowing people's minds with my refusal to conform to the categories they want to shove me into, it really starts to wear on the nerves after a while, know what I mean? I have the wheels in motion to finish up my BA in history (the animal end of things is more than taken care of in other ways), and I fully intend to go to England for my MA in history.

The failed warning signs are love. Thanks for sharing.

High-five for weird major combos!
