My buddy Greg Beatty has a poem up at Strange Horizons about sleeping beauties – check it out.

Cory Doctorow’s got a new short up at Salon.com – about gamer girls and kicking ass. Highly recommended read: Anda didn’t really start to play the game until she got herself a girl-shaped avatar. She was 12, and up until then, she’d played a boy-elf, because her parents had sternly warned her that if you

So, I’m not pissed off enough to rant today. Saw a mediocre production of Equus last night (It’s such a great script that it’s difficult to imagine a truly *bad* production of this show) that didn’t really piss me off. Got a bunch of crap on book one finished, and today I’ve just got one

Got an e-mail circular from the lead A/E guy here at the Workplace of Silliness – looks like we’re going to get 2 proposals we’ve currently got out that are closing up right now. One of our clients also just gave a glowing review of our A/E guy working in Iraq, so we’ve got kudos

Bush, Rumsfeld, and Powell take some time off to model for the Banana Republic catalog… Matt Cheney’s got a post up about some of the flack Strange Horizons appears to be taking for publishing a soft SF story… that’s about the sexual relationship between two women. Though I agree that the story would have been

My roomie has a date tonight, and I’m sitting here watching Rocky movies, eating Thai food, doing line edits and arguing with myself again about what a lame person I must be to be sitting here finding some kind of happiness in line edits and Rocky movies.

I just think it’s damn cool he got away assigning a real book – with swearing and vagina dentate and non-white people and

Charge `em by the pound. Yea, that’s right, fat girls. What the hell is up with places like Eddie Bauer and L.L. Bean that don’t charge you for plus sizes? Who do they think they are? Hey, let’s start putting a “woman tax” on shirts. Afterall, if a woman’s got breasts bigger than a B,

I did a bad thing last night. I rented and watched Enough with Jennifer Lopez. Oh, gag me with a spoon. To be fair, I knew this was going to be a wretched movie, but I’d heard she learned a bunch of Krav Maga for it, and I’ve had a higher-than-usual interest in fighting movies

Amazon.com is sponsoring a series of rather dull, boring short movies that then try and “make money” by advertising products seen in the short. They’ve got one up with Minnie Driver called “Portrait” in which the office fat girl – who’s seen eating in *every damn scene* – at a modeling agency gets her photo
