At first I thought it was just the dress:



But then I saw some other pictures.








Sure, The Huffington Post and The Daily Beast may have jumped on the bandwagon, but that's because we all recognize greatness when we see it. Right?

firecat @ 11:28 pm: WisCon
I'm having a pretty good time so far.

I am behind on posting my panel notes.

I am commencing my annual spree of "adding of people associated with WisCon to my reading list/friends list."

oursin @ 08:09 pm: 100 things blogging challenge 40

The 100 things blogging challenge.

Oh, gallant was the first love, and glittering and fine;
The second love was water, in a clear white cup;
The third love was his, and the fourth was mine;
And after that, I always get them all mixed up.

Dorothy Parker, 'Pictures in the Smoke' (and I have no idea how that got onto an inspirational website: wonder what Mrs P would have made of that).

oursin @ 01:48 pm: Wiscon well under way

hano is a Hero of the Revolution who identified the netbook problem and suggested a fix which has, indeed, worked, so I do not have that frustration to deal with.

Having a good time, a bit laidback, a little tired - two of my panels down (the anti-hero discussion, perhaps a bit all over the place but quite lively, the changing reading tastes over time, rather good I thought, lots of thoughts to think about).

Having the usual rather frustrating thing of not wanting to book up every available free slot before I even get here, but then not being able to schedule get-togethers. However, I have some meetups fixed, and yesterday managed to have an enjoyable lunch with lcohen and dinner with oracne - for the record, yak sizzling platter at a Taste of Tibet, having had goat curry at the other Tibetan place on Thursday eve - along with various rencontres around the Concourse more generally, in the Dealers' Room, the bar, at the parties, etc -

Even if at the latter I, and many of my approx contemps were expressing a certain exhaustion by the late-ish hour.

Sleeping reasonably well if with a certain amount of waking earlier than I would prefer, though this morning I did get back to sleep, but not for as long as I might have liked, as I had to get up with a 10 am panel in mind.

Among other good stuff, I record here the whirlpool.

scottynola @ 08:49 am: Where The Streets Have No Name
As always, I am behind and trying to catch up. The revision of Timothy is coming along nicely, if too slowly, and Night Shadows is also nearing completion. I might not make this coming Friday's deadlines for everything, but that last extra weekend might just do the trick.

Fingers crossed, people.

Heavy sigh.

For today's entry into Short Story Month, I gave myself the daunting task of picking out my favorite Stephen King short story--which was no easy feat; Mr. King is certainly a master of the short story (as he is of writing in general, frankly) and he has produced any number of magnificent short stories--from "Children of the Corn" to "Word Processor of the Gods" to "Night Shift" to "The Last Rung on the Ladder" to "Ur" to "Riding the Bullet"; the list goes on and on--and that doesn't even take into consideration the novellas: The Body, Apt Pupil, Hearts in Atlantis, Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, The Langoliers, and Big Driver,--another list of great work that goes on and on.

But if forced to choose, I would have to say ( my favorite King short story )

oursin @ 08:43 am: Happy birthday, aedifica!
