1) The Sparkly Purple Girly Laptop arrived this evening, in plenty of time for me to load it up for the forthcoming trip to Arizona (aka CupcakeCon, aka the Tucson Festival of Books, aka Esteban Reyes's Birthday Bash). It's charging itself up on my floor as we speak:



(Yes, I also have a cobalt blue mouse. Girly girl girl!)

Her name is apparently Lillian Lovelace Gish. I don't know why. I think it's like puppies: you have to hold them in your arms before you know what they're really supposed to be called.

2) Three of the Nebula nominees polled for the SF Signal Mind Meld on what other works of fiction were also Nebula-worthy this year mentioned either my bad self or "The Parable of the Shower". I am tickled. I will now call myself a Writer's Writer for a week.

3) Two more quick reviews: One blogger likes "Bears", and another didn't like "Mister Oak".

And three things will have to make a post tonight, because I need to either do some quick laundry or fix a lunch for tomorrow. And then maybe, dare we hope, write words?

1) So pretty and sparkly and girly! I haz new laptop envy. Of course, it probably doesn't help that I abetted the purchase of a sweet little Dell Mini 10v by one of my customers last week. For myself, Santa please, I would like the Alienware M11x, even though I currently have no time at all for gaming.

2) One of my favourite memories from WorldCon is your reading of "The Parable of the Shower". I smile just thinking about it.

3) Just reading the title of "Bears" makes me giggle.

Those are the two stories that I share with friends to get them hooked on the words you make. <3

I love that you said "puppies" instead of "babies".

Well, puppies I have actual experience with. *g*

Yay on the name-check, Richly deserved.
And Lilian is very pretty. My ski-boots (and my car) are that colour. It's a good colour. (The boots were deliberate, the car just came that way.)

I am much laughed-at for my sparkly blue car. But I love her as she is.
