Okay, I know. I KNOW. It’s been waaaaay too long. Mea culpa, guilt, shame, etc etc. Let’s just say that I’ve been in more of a destructive frame of mind than a creative one. And I’ve been reading a lot of crap books that were pretty crappy but actually not crappy enough because I didn’t even hate them enough to…

A sad week for anyone who ever sailed to the land of the wild things, visited the night kitchen, or went outside over there. Thank you, Maurice. You’ll be missed.

Apologies all around for taking far too long to feed the hungry blog-monster. I’ve been busy trying to figure out computational linguistics. And also designing my She-Ra, Princess of Power, costume for when I (fingers crossed) crash Comic-Con. It will happen. Oh yes, it will happen. For the honour of Greyskull! Okay, so maybe I spent a little…
