Just a Sci-Fi Kid Like Me

I'm having issues with writer's block. Maybe it's pressure or maybe it's being tired or something else altogether, but it's an issue that needs fixing, pronto.

Unrelated, Amazing Stories has my first column up. I wrote that last month so it doesn't count as part of the block.

Still sore and prone to dropping asleep randomly. Largely spent weekend reading and watching movies. (Scott and I saw the Black Swan. We agreed Darren Aronofsky has women issues through the wazoo.) My brilliant plan for today is to do as little as possible.

That said, I have to pimp reena_jenkins who recorded a number of my shorter ficlets into podficlets this weekend. Go check them out and leave some love. *G* I particularly like the Eomer one cos....I like Eomer, what can I say?

Oh, and I also want to hat-tip to avictoriangirl who has been blogging all of Chris's Details shoot outtake pics which....just....what was I saying again? Yeah.

Okay I need another nap. Or possibly coffee. I'm going to go get one of the two now.

Popshifter just posted my essay on Joss Whedon's Dollhouse, It's a Love/Hate Thing: Why Dollhouse's Echo Matters.

...reading recommendation and short discussion.

Update with photos over at Just a Sci-Fi Kid Like Me; we got in some cool Lovecraft fanzines and I wheedled Todd into posing for a photo. (T-Man fangirls take note: he thought the photo op was for this blog. He was doing it for YOU.)

One of our students also made us Xmas cards and left them with candy at the desk this morning. I feel all loved and appreciated and stuff.

I also got an invite to a PCA roundtable on Bad Boy Vampires. I'll be the Spike expert. This is kinda the most cool thing ever.

Lyndsey and I also submitted a chapter proposal for a forthcoming book of essays on Neil Gaiman. Figners-crossed!

Working on my third-year review dossier. It's simultaneously awesome to be all overachieverey and really annoying, because I had to spend quite a bit of time this morning scanning articles and stuff.
