My attention is looping between the conversation going on at the other end of the table, the TV across the coffee shop, and my work. It's a very consistent loop.

I brush over the surface of an idea, read over the story a bit, find a place to anchor the idea, and put it in the outline. It's all very vague. That's OK.

I never had a reason to imagine Gene Ray and Marissa Marchant getting together to have a love child, until I saw this...

BIRTH CONTROL IS SINFUL IN THE CHRISTIAN MARRIAGES and also ROBBING GOD OF PRIESTHOOD CHILDREN!! (Paperback) -- 648 pages, $135.00 (discounted from $150), and make sure to scroll down and check out the product description.

I'm now in Phuket... not too impressed with this place... there is no energy here. I loved both Bangkok and Phi Phi island, but Phuket just seems kinda blah.

Nonetheless, I am behind on photo posting, so here are some pics of my days in Bangkok:

Set 1- First day in Bangkok, Wat Po, Giant Reclining Buddha and local street scenes

Set 2- Second Day in Bangkok- the Grand Palace and Temple of the Emerald Buddha, Street scenes and random things I caught with my camera

Enjoy!

If you don't follow me on Twitter, you missed this trio of Tweets on Friday:

Kenny Loggins was at the ticket counter near me. The girl checking me in was early 20s and had no idea why her cow orkers were so excited.

I was unable to see if his destination was the danger zone, but it was clear that he was alright, so there was no need to worry about him.

I heard that the TSA made him kick off his Sunday shoes, right in front of everybody, but he was cool with it and just cut loose.

I am easily amused, and so totally hands-on-hips proud of my stupid self.

Oh sure, there are nine now. But as I find them, and eat their brains, their power will flow into me!

Current Mood: amused

Just a housekeeping note:

I'm phasing out my sff.net email address, as well as everything else I've got on sff.net. I've been using gmail for the past few years, and soon that will be my only email address.

So, to reach me:

gregvan@gmail.com

I'll keep the sff.net address for a few more months, but then it'll go away, so please update your records. I'd hate to miss your death threats.

ETA: I'm not actually getting death threats. It was just a joke.

But it feels like it sometimes. Apparently the plan for the length of my coworker's maternity leave is to operate in crisis mode, which means I work overtime for six weeks, and this is not okay, but it's apparently my life for now. It means that while I open lj, I don't end up reading and I'm behind in the news, and in the lives of you folks I've become somehow close to in this weird distal way.

I have only trivial news about me and mine -- but I do have a livingroom! I have shoveled out the stuff that we piled into it during the endless library project and we have even sat around with Moher and watched TV and stuff.

Other than that, well, there's some bicycle politics happening, but I'll report on that when I can breathe.

So this exhibit is showing through September 1st at the Metropolitan Museum of Art huh? I may have to make this a birthday thing.

(Even if the article was written really badly.)

Comments on this entry are screened. If lnhammer, slobbit, enevarim, and clarentine would be so kind as to comment with their addresses, I will get their books out post-haste!

I also have two copies of the All the Windwracked Stars ARC to give away, but I have not yet decided what I am doing with those....

Still under construction, a new Fleet Farm at I-35W and Lexington in Blaine, MN, not far from my apartment building.

Fleet Farm can be thought of as an agricultural themed Walmart-like superstore.
