I’m supposed to be gutting my room right now – you know, sorting through everything, tossing some, filing some – but I’m fighting a runny nose and weepy eyes (allergies). Excuses, excuses. But there is an insane amount of books to dust… *whine*
The last time I did this kinda clean, on this kinda level, was just before Christmas, when I moved the present stash in here for safety. I ‘tidy’, and vacuum the open areas when necessary. I don’t do this major clean on any sort of regular basis. I …

Steven Shrewsbury gives us a tale of a Native American with some special talents, and Catherine J. Gardner met a couple of writers who really wish they hadn’t gone shopping. R. Scott McCoy knows what happens when teenage boys don’t think things through, and Barry Napier has followed a survivor along a trail into the woods, and into a plot. RH Fay brings a long lost son home to New Bedlam, and John Irvine has a conversation with a madman.
We residents have offered up a few tales of woe …

Stupid myspace and their stupid HP photo printer ads. And their stupid constantly running stupid IM bar.
And their stupid stupidty. Stupid.

I have two ad spaces left for the inaugural issue of New Bedlam. They are 125×125 each, and if the purchaser uses the code words “Louise Bohmer” or “The Black Act” in the order email, they get 10% off.
Check the advertising spec page here.

This post is neither here nor there, just to say that I’ve now seen every episode of Salad Fingers (I saw ‘em on Youtube, but they’re officially on Newground) and I have to say…
… I have a character like that. Actually, I have a character so like that I’m kinda freaked out a bit.
*shudder*
Good animations though, kinda. Creepy but funny in the ‘ewww’ sense.

I swear that when I’m between projects, my characters sleep. If they want something, they poke at the muse, who wakes …
