I've been shopping again. Today I want to hilight ModCloth. My friend Julie Rose linked me up to this site. If you shop there, you want to look in the long dress section for their beautiful looks. Today, I purchased this: Can you feel the 60s? I also bought another dress from eShakti. I'm pretty [...]

I've seen Captain America twice now. It's being touted as the best Marvel superhero film. (Buzz says that Chris Nolan's Dark Knight is best. Get outta town!) I'd disagree. I still think that Spiderman 2 fills that slot, and I would say that I liked Thor better (folklorist. Yeah. It'll happen.) All that is not [...]

New article in Shimmer worth your time. Life Rolls: When the World Tries to Kill Your Writing

I guess times have gone from bad to worse for LiveJournal? All I get is the turning circle of death when I try to log in. I have to admit, I like Google +. It's sort of the best of Twitter and LiveJournal combined. Easy, friendly, capable of screening, right where my gmail is. You [...]

A couple of weeks back, I went to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2. My history with the Potter franchise has been long. I've been a fan fiction writer, a moderator on a site, a member of a board that helped put on Potter conventions, and an academic researcher about Potter. I [...]

In light of the Oslo shooting, I will try to keep the last Norway post from sounding too flippant. As I mentioned in my previous entry, I found the Sognefjord impactual. I really couldn't get close enough to those fjords. The way the slightest movement of the clouds or the sun made them so very [...]

I can't say what I would have to say better than my friend Catrina Horsfield has said it. The only thing that I can add is that fundamentalism is the most dangerous force in the world today. We need to be waging peace and raising less people who believe that there are causes worth murdering [...]

For me, the 2011-2012 school year began again today. I spent the majority of my day pruning my email box. Wooh! What you missed out on! It's been a strange news day in Oslo. Awaiting more details. *** I have been keeping busy working on writing for the Clarion Write-a-thon. And I've been thinking about [...]

HELP? In my quest to interview all VP XIIIers, I begin my search for one Drew Morby. If you know how to get in touch with Drew, please let me know, as I have yet to be successful in this regard. I haven't seen or heard from Drew since we parted ways at the ferry [...]

Kat Hankinson could be the busiest writer on the planet. Pursuing a PhD, raising twins, writing and running occupy her time. Plenty of time in there to whip out a best seller too! Tamago: When did you first know you wanted to be a writer? Kat: When I was in grade school. I remember telling [...]
