Danger: Outside World Lies Beyond This Door
So today — for certain values of ‘today’. No, you know what, screw this time zone thing. From now on ‘today’ means ‘any period of time since I last slept’ and ‘yesterday’ means ‘anything that happened at any point before that’. This may be an arbitrary measure of time but it should remain functional enough […]

What You Are Doing Can’t Be As Important As This*
July 19, 2012
by Kandace Mavrick
Me: I want you to appreciate that I did not call you at your 2am this morning. I almost did. And then I did math. I wasn’t sure about the math but it seemed like I should not do that. Also I probably would have just bibbled plaintively in your ear about being delayed at LAX. […]

Time Means Nothing, Never Will Again
July 18, 2012

I don’t have an ear infection. I don’t. Which is good as I’m getting on a fourteen hour flight today. But I did have one last week. Which made my doctor give me a disturbing number of tablets under the theory that, given the situation, ‘extreme prejudice’ was the approach to take. (Including saying, You […]

We Have So Much in Common
July 17, 2012
by Kandace Mavrick
Merry: She eats like you do. Me: We have so much in common. Merry: Yeah. Me: Except she has the excuse of actually being six. Merry: Yeah. So I eat like a seven year old. In fact, you’ll get some quite persuasive arguments from people I know that it’s not just food choices I have […]

by Kandace Mavrick
So just in case that whole Mayan-calendar-ending thing really does herald the end of the world, or, you know, if you want to be prepared for your everyday kind of apocalypse, these guys have put together an end-of-the-world survival kit. Crafted and designed in Mexico, in the most cheerful of colours. End of the world […]
Warning: AFC, Possibly Weasels
July 13, 2012
by Kandace Mavrick
So I’m going to be AFC (away from couch) for the next seven weeks. Which is both brilliant and worrying. I mean, what will my couch do without me? I am, however, taking my keyboard with me. I have wondered, from time to time, what it would be like to travel without my laptop (I’m […]
Sleep is a Drug and I Want More
July 12, 2012

Me: Would you remind me tomorrow to make a doctor’s appointment? Rick: I reminded you today. Me: Yes, but I was writing. So I was all la la la, go away. Rick: Oh doom. Me: Don’t do that. I was writing! You don’t interrupt writing for frivolous administrative pursuits. Rick: Like your health and well-being. […]

Why Writers Should Not Be Allowed to Fill in Forms
July 11, 2012
by Kandace Mavrick
Me: I said, Tell me about your rooms that would fit three people. And the hotel website said, How about this one with one king bed? Arkem: 😛 Me: You have to give them props for the judgement-free approach. “Maybe the three of you only want one bed…” No assumptions. Arkem: It’s nice to have […]

Music to Depress the Savage Beast
July 9, 2012
by Kandace Mavrick
So for reasons of… well, me being slightly confused at times, yesterday I was writing Path to the soundtrack I have for Wizards. On at least two occasions when I became aware of the commentary the music was making about what I was writing I giggled hard enough to dislodge my laptop, but a rather […]
