So… GRL is in 20 days, and you know what? I need to frickin’ plan. Anyone want to know what’s on my plate? God– me too.  Shall we list? * Birthday Week– Mate and I turn 48 next week. *  Swag ASSEMBLE! Price tag tiny stuffed soccer balls to book cards. * Tie book cards… Read More

Seriously– I was NOT expecting the many and the varied quotes I got! The FB thread is truly astounding, but even here on the humble blog there are quite a few. Feel free to keep suggesting– I’ve already gone back and started to change my chapter titles using ones that you all suggested. Wow–just… so… Read More

Oooh– pretty, right? Okay, so, today’s blog is interactive, yeah? I’m currently working on Selfie, about a film and media star who is silently mourning the lover that the whole world assumed was his friend.  I’m venturing back to first person, like I do every so often, and I’m sort of digging Connor–he’s kind and… Read More

Getting up early this morning after getting in so late last night: F- Meeting Mate for a quick McD’s breakfast while he was getting his car serviced: C  (If we’d gone somewhere besides McD’s, it would have been a B. If we’d managed a quickie, A.) Getting to aqua late because I “lost time” in… Read More

 Love Yaoi-Con. LOVE Yaoi-Con! Adore it. People dress up–and look stunning. People play. Gender roles aren’t a thang. At all. And everybody’s happy to be there. So Ms. Rainbow up there was the first victim of my newly crappy camera (weak-shit, thy name is Microsoft Lumia, I’m not even playing.)  She was lovely, and I… Read More

P.S.– I’m calling this fandom John/Jack.  Since nobody else seems to have thought about it or named it, I’m going to claim that in the name of Amy Lane! For those of you who didn’t tune in LAST Friday, this is John Carter from Eureka and John Stilinski from Teen Wolf with a side of… Read More

Here at Yaoi-Con with Mary, Poppy, Venona, and Shira– we had drinks and dinner tonight, and it was awesome. On my way up this afternoon, I stopped at the rest stop that overlooks Six Flags Vallejo–and spent a moment breathing deeply and wishing for rain. This landscape is not usually so bleak–but it was today…. Read More

Every morning I take the dogs with me to get Squish to school. I used to let them both trot out to the car, but then Geoffie ran across the street too many times, so we started to carry her, and call Johnny, who seemed to have more sense. About four weeks ago, Johnny took… Read More

Dear nice lady in the Drive-Thru at McDonalds– It really was your turn to go, so waving you forward was not a hardship. However, when you paid for my morning meal, it really made my day and gave me a little faith in humanity. I’m so appreciative. Sincerely sincerely– Amy *  *  * Dear dumbass… Read More

Saturday– Mate leaves house at 7:30 in rented truck with portable goals so Squish’s soccer field can have goals. Squish, Zoomboy and I leave house at 8:30, attend son’s soccer game, watch them do pretty good, gossip happily with the team moms, celebrate their loss, and drive to the next game. Repeat for Squish’s team…. Read More
