Pardoner’s Tale (by Morgan Ferdinand) will be released in eight days. The second of July. And no this isn’t the last time I’m going to mention it, either.
It’s an ebook, and won’t be very much money, but it’s funny! You can get it from Torquere Books.
I think it’ll also be available in Kindle format. Now who wants to buy me a Kindle? :D
But is anyone else hearing reports of zombies?
Someone got a screencap off CNN, but it looks like they’ve pulled the story. Probably to prevent panic. Or maybe it was just a stunt for some movie or something.
Google’s turning up other reports from all over the place, but there’s nothing in the official media.
Are we looking at the end of the world?
Edit: More reports.

SO CLOSE! *happydance*
And now… fiction! Nothing offensive. No sex. No questionable language. Nothing dangerous or dirty. Just 254 words.
I need to think of a good “backronym” for nerd.
So. Balticon is coming up really fast and it looks like we’ll be there on Saturday, at least in the afternoon, evening, and night. Dealers’ room, art show, and masquerade. No staying over. Not with the puppy at home. That makes me sad, but at least one day is better than nothing.
We’re going to Shore Leave this year for the first time! Again, just on the Saturday. I mean, how much time does one need to stalk David Hewlett…. I mean…. Wait, no. That is what I meant.
Moving on!
A long time ago this journal was at http://dataangel.net. I still have the domain (obviously) and have turned it into a “portal” of really useless information - feeds and things. No reason, except because I could.
Okay, it’s sort of a portal. It pulls through to a journal on Blogspot that is the actual portal, because editing the layout to include the RSS feeds and things was easier that way. I’m a nerd, but I’m a lazy nerd. I’m also a lazy nerd with a feeling of satisfaction because it actually worked.
Now if I could feel smugly satisfied about “Ace of Wands”, I’d really be getting somewhere. The deadline looms for that, and I’m about 60% of the way to the end. If you don’t see/hear from me much between now and next weekend, you can assume I’m writing my fingers to the bone.
Last (and least), the rental car is due back on the 21st. I’m not really sure what I’m going to do about getting places after that. I refuse to take the light rail. I’ll probably just have to get another rental car at the full rate. Hopefully this time I can get something that’s actually sensible, because the Equinox is killing me on gas. Since the first of May I’ve spent $150 on gas. With the Prius, I think I spent $150 in gas over the first three months.
