The next interview will be up later today; naturally, I have all the interviews at home while I’m here on campus and running like mad today, because I plan to head down to Bard to hear Liz Hand read between my classes. I will be announcing a new writing gig later this week. I just…

Get Your Zombie On!
The fabulous Elena Steier illustrates a wild zombie adventure written by Andrew Steier (hmmmm, wonder if they’re related?).
Cake or Death?
Thanks, scans_daily!
Pi-Con Day Two
I’m listening to the Syd Barrett box set, already copied into my iTunes on Jackdaw (yes, I name my computers, musical instruments, etc.). It’s good loopy fun for early in the day. I blame Tom Stoppard for this new kick. I was never a huge Pink Floyd fan, but Rock-n-Roll piqued my interest in Barrett’s…

Melinda started off in the undergrounds and has been no stranger to controversy over the years. She talks about being compared to S. Clay…

Loopy Tuesday
While still reeling from the news that Russell T’s getting an OBE (wasn’t Saturday’s Davies-penned episode a lot of fun?), which I discovered as I was over at the Forbidden Planet blog reading my pal Pádraig’s interview with the ever-wonderful Alan Moore, I share with you news of Wrong Trousers Day! Mmmmmm — cheese, Gromit!
