Calling Loyalty Into Question: Jelly, Hats, and Cookies
Yesterday Pan (my laptop) and I started the day in a state of uneasy truce. He would not explode and I would refrain from yelling at him. Given that’s the way things were before the recent madness I didn’t think I’d have any trouble holding up my side of the bargain. And then he had […]

Yesterday I spent the day screaming incoherently at my computer. And saying: FOR SERIOUS? repeatedly. Basically, Pan and I had something of a disagreement. (Pan is my laptop, that I love to death and spend eighteen hours a day, or more, with. Those who tell you I sit around cuddling him when not actually using […]

Hi all. You may have noticed that I missed last Friday’s scheduled Icky Theory post (or not). That was actually because I was out of the state visiting a fine un-conference BookCamp hosted by IF:Book Australia (as a part of the Melbourne Writer’s Festival.

I was going to tell you all about what I did today, but then I realised I’d already had that conversation.
