  • Zombie cranberry juice

    My cranberry juice went bad. =( Cranberry juice should last forever. Why doesn’t it? I now am worrying that the people who pick up our recycling are going to be judging me for recycling a cranberry juice bottle with an expiration date of September…of last year. YES I HAD CRANBERRY JUICE SITTING AROUND IN MY…

  • Fifty Shades Read-and-Drink Along, Chapters 1 and 2

    It’s a twofer! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qt4_tDnwvZc&w=420&h=315] [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7clMuheEJWw&w=420&h=315] And now I get to rest for a week or something because MY LIVER. OW.

  • I forgot the bra. Bad Katje.

    I’m delaying the release of Stranger Skies in paperback by a month. It was supposed to be out by Halloween, but my editor has found a bunch of things that got missed in the last round of edits, so those need to be fixed before we can release a paperback. Of course, that means I…

  • I can’t math

    Or do research. Or blog. Or anything. December 24th to January 6th is not the 12 Days of Christmas. December 26th to January 6th is. I’m two days off with this giveaway thing. Even after I counted four times before doing the first post. Even though I knew that January 6th was Epiphany and therefore…

  • Galactica is trying to murder me

    She knows I’m a Cylon. Galactica is my 1987 Volvo Station Wagon. She’s a good ship, but then she does shit like try to kill me and I feel like beating her with a hammer. Or calling up Aaron Douglas and screaming “WHY WON’T YOU MAKE MY BIRDS FLY? I need my birds to fly!”…

  • Ultimatums to myself

    So back when I was still traveling, and I believe it was when I was in Salem, OR, specifically, I set a goal for myself. An ultimatum, even. I told myself I was going to finish The Jade Star of Athering by April 28th. I was giving myself 10 days after my final exam (the…

  • Mundane Monday: on being optimistic

    On Saturday, I spent perhaps an hour and a half crying — no, sobbing, raging with tears in my eyes, lamenting my situation to the heavens above. They didn’t listen very well, but I don’t expect them to. Then on Sunday I did things. I was generally productive. My boyfriend came to visit me and…

  • Whatever Wednesday: Sewing woes

    Aside from the sewing machine I showed y’all on Monday, I also have a Singer 513 Stylist at my house (the older one I bought is currently at my boyfriend’s place). I managed to get this one working yesterday and started work on my costume for this weekend. (Yes, I realize it’s cutting it close.…
