That’s it, 3rd draft of “IMPROPERLY PREPARED BLOWFISH” (née “Tsueno’s Slips”) is done, and it only needs a good, clear-headed proofread before it gets sent to Machine of Death. I’m not sure it’s exactly what they’re looking for, but what the hell. I can always cannibalize it if they don’t take it.

Rachmaninoff Had Big Hands

Lime just emailed me this, with the following explanation, which I didn’t need, but which some readers may appreciate (for LJers, the video is here):

Yep, that’s the cover to the right. Don’t [...]

I had some housing issues which were stressing me out, but they’ve been resolved, yay! Some people at work really stepped up and went to bat for me and Lime. More news on a related front soon, but I may be busy for the next few days moving, and visiting her parental units in Jeonju.

Things I Love: M

Jade Park continued this meme, where you blog ten things starting with the same letter, and was handing out letters a while back. She gave me the letter M.
