No Pictures, Only Con-Stories

on October 23, 2011

First of all, you guys are awesomesauce with the quotes– that was soooo MUCH FUN.  We’ll have to do it again sometime–or lines from songs or titles from songs or lines from books or… ooooohhhh… The possibilities are endless! Second of all–Yaoi-Con?  Total blast.  I was probably too loud and to obnoxious and too loopy… Read More


Say Anything

on October 20, 2011

You guys remember that movie?  It’s Cameron Crowe, and he’s awesomeness on awesometoast with awesomesauce…  we adore him here at Chez Lane, and that iconic moment with John Cusack standing with the stereo in front of Ione Skye’s house while Peter Gabriel blares from the speakers can move me to tears on any day–and not… Read More


Sky Sperm

on October 18, 2011

Okay, so I was walking from my car this morning and I felt a drop on my face.  I looked up to see if I’d been targeted by a seagull and while there was no such offending animal, I looked up into the sky and saw?  I don’t know.  The sky was this gorgeous Autumn… Read More


ZB the Reaper and SquishWitch!

on October 16, 2011

So we went to the Halloween store yesterday, and guess what happened?  Well, mostly some shit jumped into my bag and some shit jumped out of my wallet, and then we came home and our children went from being simply mild-mannered ankle biters, and became Zoomboy the Reaper and Squish-witch!  This whole thing was pretty… Read More


Meander Left, Meander Right

on October 13, 2011

Okay, so seriously?  I’ve got nothin’. I’ve said it before–a thousand times–the most intense stuff can be going on inside my head but on the outside?  It’s just a woman typing in a kitchen that looks like a bomb blew up in it.  You’re not looking at her thinking, “Oooh… there typeth the seeds of… Read More


Everything is Prettier in the Rain

on October 11, 2011

Yesterday we spent the day doing the birthday thang (I did that on purpose ’cause I’m cool, yanno!) with my real mom and my grandma.  We brought the pizza, the ice cream cake, a present, and my mom over to my grandma’s and celebrated birthdays.  Everyone keeps telling me what a good daughter I am… Read More


And even MORE book news!

on October 7, 2011

Okay– first things first.  The first thing is that Talker’s Graduation is coming out on Wednesday.  This is possibly the last of the series–I know that my publisher (who loves me!) is going to release all three novellas in a complete volume, and in paperback too, and I will be thrilled to hold it in my… Read More

Really?

on October 3, 2011

Okay, it’s that time of year again when I whine.  And what time of year would that be, Amy?  Any time?  Yes.  Any time of the year, I whine.  We all know it.  Let the whining commence! ‘kay.  Mate’s soccer coaching has had a setback.  Not a huge setback, but my husband did lose his… Read More


Saturday Snark

on October 1, 2011

Marie Sexton is doing Saturday Snark again, and although I missed it last Saturday (Chicken’s b-day) I thought I could make it today before running off into the maelstrom of what is Mate’s b-day today:-) This one’s from The Locker Room and it wasn’t until I tried to do this that I realized how very many of this… Read More
