And I have to laugh. Man, this week just kicked my butt. Between my self-imposed work schedule, PR commitments, con stuff and nasty weather, it’s just been nuts. I’m going to take a nap now. -_-

Before anyone makes any smart-a*# remarks about my headline: It’s a combo of “slammed” and “jam-packed” because just one doesn’t describe how busy this week was. Working on the Prodigals upcoming St. Paddies’ gigs, site stuff, METROCON stuff, and — oh, yeah! — actual work for work too. There just doesn’t seem to be downtime. [...]

It’s always strange working on a day when half of the people I know are off. They’re always surprised to hear that I’m working. I mean, really: It’s Presidents’ Day, not the Fourth of July or Christmas! That said, it was really nice to be able to buzz to and from work so quickly, and [...]

Now it’s raining and at a pretty good clip, too. It sucks for all of those lovebirds out there who actually care about this day. I officially stopped stressing about Valentine’s Day four years ago, when I officially had the “Worst Valentine’s Day Ever.” One year earlier had been known as that, but it is [...]

I know this week has been busy when I turn around and realize I haven’t posted since Monday. Yikes! >_

It’s an added bonus when they are something I get to play with at work. I know my AP Style pretty well and end up looking at the Stylebook once in a blue moon, but I was sitting at work this afternoon and realized that my copy stashed at the office is circa 1991 and [...]

Why is it that my weekends seem as busy as my weekdays? Can’t blame anyone else for the fact I’m a workaholic. ;-) Yesterday was fun. I went shopping with my mom and accomplished two out of three goals for the day: 1. picked up the denim jacket that I wanted back in December for [...]

After spending the better portion of last night watching LAST EXILE, Vol. 2, I had to catch up on a lot of correspondence. Eek. I don’t feel like doing any more work tonight. (Although there’s always *plenty* to do thanks to AZ, IP and METROCON.) I’m just going to crash in front of the TV [...]

I didn’t end up posting last night because I had to distribute another METROCON press release, but also because my Ai Yazawa art books came in from Japan last night. They’re so pretty — even if they do smell a teeny bit of cigarette smoke. But considering the mystery book is 10 years old and [...]

The older I get, the more they irritate the crap out of me. It is truly an insult to sell wrinkle cream with 18-to-25 year-olds as the spokesmodels… because they don’t have any wrinkles to begin with. Right now, Elizabeth Arden wins points for having Catherine Zeta-Jones as their spokesperson, since she is over 30, [...]
