The latest issue of The Broadsheet is up! And it includes an interview with Ellen Datlow!

In other news, I am going to see Tamora Pierce tonight at the Burlingame Books Inc.! Yay! Which means I will finally succumb to the temptation to get The Will of the Empress in hardcover and probably get not enough sleep tonight.

After that, though, there needs to be a budget freeze so that I can start saving up for my NY trip for Thanksgiving, since I anticipate spending a lot on Broadway shows (hopefully Avenue Q), food (duh), clothes (Sales! Sales galore! shopping with my sister!), and books, books, and more books (The Strand! Oh how I have longed to visit you!).

I also feel much, much better now that I spent all of yesterday vegging on the couch, knitting and watching VMars with fannishly instead of doing something "useful" like folding laundry. I figure destressing much more important than unwrinkly clothes anyway. I may even start being silly and scheduling in a bum day every week, in which I sit around, bum, watch TV and play on LJ.

More blather to come, as am trying to catch up on book blogging, weekend reports, and LJ in general. Ah, LJ, how nice it is to have time for you again!

Avenue Q yay!! If you get a chance to see it, don't pass it up! You'll have a blast.

I was so mad when I found out that it was playing in Vegas when I was there and my dad got tickets for something else (in the very same hotel, too!)!! Wargh.

Desperately want to see it! Am trying hard to convince sister that she wants to.

Ooh, Tamora Pierce! She's only been here once that I know of. Maybe Duane will get her to come back again eventually. She's not a bad reader, but where I think she shines is talking about how much she loves writing for and talking to young women.

(And clearly I need to go buy another book. It's a spendy sort of month -- oh, wait, it's November! That's all right then!)

It was neat seeing her, but there was unfortunately a very annoying guy in the audience who kept interrupting. Le sigh. At least I got the book.

I got the book too! And it gave me something that's been on my Tamora Pierce wish list for ages! Yay! So thank you for mentioning it was out. :)

Oh I am so happy you are going! I had to work, I am so sad that I missed it.

It was fun seeing her! (although there was really awful traffic going up, go fig. And annoying audience member. But... book! yay!)
