My last day is October 15. Everyone was very nice about it.
It feels entirely odd; I’ve never quit a job without having already lined up my next job or school or a massive move. It’s the health thing. I’ve now been fighting this thing for 20 months. The medical leave taught [...]

I think I earned the name “Steampunk Ambassador” for all the times I explained “about all the goggles this year” to people. Here are the photos of my costume’s final version from other people’s Flickr sets. If you know of/took other photos of my costume, please send me a link! [...]

Here are some pictures of this year’s DragonCon costume. Per the experienced costumer’s tradition, I always test the whole ensemble before the event. In this case, I discovered 2 breakages which were easy to remedy at home but would have been difficult in Atlanta.
League of Justice-Minded Citizenry, beware! The promenade also displays less lofty [...]

(cross-posted from my LJ, but I thought people here might want to know) And yes, the next podcast is coming out soon, just as soon as I’m done with this lovely bug my husband brought home…
So, the CFS specialist I saw in LA about 2 weeks back… This was a mixed bag. If you [...]

agh, what a month (reposted from my LJ: ChrisFixedKitty)
I’m going to save the LA CFS specialist report for after the phone followup next week. Might as well do it all in one piece then. That visit used up the first week of my medical leave in the doing of it and the recovering [...]

As the only response, you get your way!
I’ll try some carcasting to get the intro done. I’ve been sleeping 12 hours/night plus naps this weekend, so the usual Fixed Kitty cheer is finally back! I am not currently sounding like a Zombinc. employee! (Mur L has a rockin new [...]

Gah. It’s been a bad stretch, and I don’t like to record when I’m this tired and grumpy. It’s very plain in my voice, and I wouldn’t want to listen to it, so I don’t post it.
I have 2 theories on why my neighbors-beneath have resumed their thumpy bass every night at 11:30 [...]

Second, the next interview is edited. It will air in 2 halves, the first next week, then (gasp!) [...]

I’m nicknaming this one “Frogthroat Fever.” Costume Con was awesome. See May 1st at my Live Journal. Yes, I’ve been sucked into that web community thingy, but it’s not as bad as the Twitter crack.
Back soon, I hope. I need to do an upgrade on WordPress, so if this breaks, please [...]

I recorded the Contraceptive News Chunk on Friday, but couldn’t finish the whole episode before losing my voice entirely. Hopefully next week I’ll have the next podcast up.
I’m home sick today, after the fever came back briefly at work yesterday. I’m still voiceless but less out-of-it. Henry and I have had tickets [...]

I am about to put up the next and long-overdue podcast after all of Summer’s valiant efforts to undo the tech mess that I managed to create behind the deceptively placid facade of this website. (Thanks, Summer!)
You can hear all about how I’m doing, new NK chapters, Happy Things, and the 2nd part of [...]
