Good morning, la.

I got my contributor's copy of Kinships yesterday, and it looks really good! I admit, I'd sort of expected bad photocopies stapled together (my default expectation of small-press magazines I've never seen in-the-paper), but it's far prettier than that, with a glossy black-and-white cover, nice interior illustrations, and good layout. My "The Man Who Loved the Moon" is the feature story, illustrated on the cover, and with lots of neat illos inside, too. I'm quite pleased, and I'm sharing a TOC with fellow Not-A-Webringer, Mary Soon Lee, which is nice.

Okay, I'm off to write a bit. More later.

10:12 p.m.

My story "Little Gods" is up at Strange Horizons; go read it! After you read my entry, of course. There's no illustration up as of yet, though I'm told there's going to be one...

So last night Heather had a party, which was lots of fun. Sushi, science fiction talk, music, magic (the latter performed by the amazing Sean "the Conundrum" Klein), artichoke dip; loveliness. Very fun.

Today I got up and wrote a tiny bit. Then Heather and Holly and I went to Mama's for brunch. Afterward, Heather and I napped, waking up around 3:30, just in time to dress and go up to Berkeley to hang out with Mary Anne and Susan and Jed and Nick Mamatas and various other people. After some time at Au Coquelet we went for yummy Thai food and more talk... now home!

The weekend was much more action-packed and interesting than that makes it sound, but I'm not sure where to begin. So, like, use your imaginations.

I know, this is short. I suck. Ta.
