My Very Own Blogetary (Blog: Web Log; etary or ary: engaged in or pertaining to)

“Terrible death to die! A terrible death to die! Terrible death to be talked to death! A terrible death to die! Announcements! Announcements! Annouuuuuuuncements!”

First off - the winner of a brand new shiny 2008 edition of Writer’s Market is….(drum roll please……):

ROWENA! So, contact me or I’ll contact you and we’ll see about a mailing address.

B or 2nd - My computer is dead and I am able to come to you by the kindness of my friend’s laptop. I think (emphasis on think) I may have an easy fix for it, but if it doesn’t work, there may be some radio silence or just intermittent outbursts depending on trips to the library or to my friend’s house.

Third - The contest for a copy of Aoife’s Kiss is still on through the 25th so make sure to put a comment on that blog to enter yourself!

D) I have an article on Chocolate Zoom this month. If you’re interested, then go here.

Lastly - Happy Canada Day to all my favorite Canadians (and you know who you are) and Happy 4th of July to “my fellow Americans.” And HAPPY SUMMER to all the rest!

The computer turns on now, but I still need to open it up and see if squirrels were trying to tell me if they needed nuts or to have their cage cleaned. You never know.

The plug in the sink is still there. It had gone down enough that I didn’t see any water down in the pipe and thought maybe someone else in the building had used drain clogger or a snake to get rid of the clog. But no.  It’s still there. With the leak.

Slowly working my way through revenue enhancing work.  But it’s a little scary.  I hope things break soon, some how.  I either need enough freelance work to make a solid living, or a job. I’m not finding either. So, we’ll see what happens.

I’m having some cool writerly moments lately. They vary from seeing my name and poem in a print magazine (which I don’t think will ever get old) to magical maybes to wandering around my head with my story and not being able to wait until I can get back to it.

Twenty-four hours ago, I was doing dishes and the sink plugged up for no reason I can fathom, and I discovered I have a leak in the pipe below this sink. Then this morning, the computer wouldn’t turn on. Light was on, but nobody was home. I was beginning to think the world was against me. But I had a lovely day in Little Tokyo with some friends. We went to a Loli-Goth event for the Goth Lolita Bible at Kinokuniya Bookstore sponsored by Tokyo Pop. This is volume 1.

I didn’t go to the event for the first volume. But I had some friends who did. I decided to tag along to this second event to see all the fabulous dressed up Loli-goth girls. It was fun. We even got to make crafty things and talk to cool people about where they got their togs or how they made them.  We got to swig pink lemonade and snack on pink pocky and strawberries.  This is volume 2, what the event was about.

I did not have appropriate Loli-wear and I don’t think I could have carried it off if I had. The design and materials were very pretty. Very fun. Some of the hair styles were terrific!

I don’t have pictures. I maybe able to link to pictures in a few days, but not yet.

So, we decide to come home (we took public transit instead of driving because it’s just easier) and once we got off the subway at Hollywood and Highland and found our bus stop proceeded to wait, and wait, and wait. Finally we started walking. We discovered a broken down bus, and the one that took people on for the broken one had already left. There was not a second one in sight. So, we kept on walking. Found a good major bus stop to wait at, but by now it was dusk. Marginal people were gathering around the bus stop. Still no bus in sight. We continue walking.

By the time we go to my friend’s house at about 8:45-9PM (we’d left downtown around 6 or 6:30), her uncles took pity on us and fed us cocktails, dinner, and cookies.
Now I am home, and the computer works - miraculously - but I’m still going to have to figure out what happened so it doesn’t happen again. I checked the sink, but the miracle didn’t go that far as it is still clogged and still leaking. In fact, the only reason the water has gone down is because of the leak.

*sigh*

However, I think the miracle decided to continue in another direction as 2 separate places I have submissions to have contacted me saying they’re still deciding and I’m one of the finalists (yay!) and someone who I figured was a no-pay from a couple of months ago, might actually pay me. That would be good.

So, it’s been a really good day, today. On the whole.

You can read about it all here.

The contest for the Writer’s Market is coming to an end in a few days (June 30). If you’re interested in a trying for a copy of the 2008 Writer’s Market then go here.

The next contest is for a brand new shiny copy of the 7th Anniversary Issue of Aoife’s Kiss. Yes, it is the issue with my poem in it. Yes, I have signed that poem. So, if you’re interested in possibly owning a signed copy of my poem in this issue of Aoife’s Kiss then post a comment down below. We’ll keep it easy this time. You don’t have to say anything particularly clever. Just post.

The deadline will be July 25 at midnight to give you plenty of time to decide whether you want to buy yourself a copy (it really is a good mag) or try for a free one through this contest.

Have a good evening.

THINGS -

Today I got the brand, new shiny Rhysling Anthology of SF, Fantasy & Horror Poetry for 2007 published through the Science Fiction Poetry Association. It’s purty and I can barely wait to crack it open. I also received in my mailbox today, the most current edition of Electric Velocipede, which let me know two things: 1) Bettendorf, Iowa doesn’t need an ark — YET (phew!) and 2) Issue 15 that was due out in August will now be issued with #16 altogether and probably in October.

STUFF -

My grocery store is north. My bank is south. So, there are days when I do my grocery shopping at the drugstore near the bank rather than at the grocery store. And then, I usually end up standing in front of the tiny section of books and staring at them. I don’t know what I’m looking for really. I study the names, the titles, the covers, the stories. I never buy any of the books because they aren’t really the type I read (any more). But I still study them. Part of me asks, “would I want my name in 2 inch gold foil on the front of a book and larger than the title?” (no- I’d much rather have the title larger than my name - but that’s just me). And then I wonder if I could ever write a book that would end up a mass market paperback in a drugstore. I don’t know. I’m not sure I want to be a Nora Roberts or Sherrylin Kenyon, not that there’s anything wrong with them, I’m just not sure that’s who I am.
MORE STUFF -

Of course the real reason I ventured forth today, other than to deposit checks and buy food (well - is it really food in a drugstore? Some of it barely contains food at all), was to find air conditioning. It’s 92 degrees in my apartment right now and it’s 6:55 PM. Typically, my brick oven pizza apartment is 10-15 degrees warmer than the hallway and I’ll open the door to let in a cross breeze and let Pye and I cool down. Not today. It was actually no different. Nay, even a bit cooler in my apartment. I was only out for an hour (with sunblock and sunglasses) and I feel burnt to a crisp. My eyes feel burned. The sun felt oppressive and was stealing energy from me. Yes, I’m drinking plenty of water.

One more thing….

I think I’m going to extend the deadline for the 2008 Writer’s Market Contest to the end of the month, June 30th. I know that’s a bit to wait to see who gets the doorstop, but I think it might be a good idea. If you don’t know about the contest then go .
