Stuff I'm reading.

It takes me for-freakin-ever to read nonfiction. Not sure why I can fly through fiction but nonfiction takes me at least three times as long to read. Am I paying more attention or something? Anyway, right now I'm making my way through Moab Is M...

You need some more Tim Minchin, you say?

nobody@vox.com(wickedlibrarian) — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:44:31 -0600

I sympathize. Recently he appeared on a new episode of England's "Never Mind The Buzzcocks" - a sort of panel "game show" that is less about points and winning anything and more about acting silly. Which Tim is good at doing, in his disarmingly...

All right, so I gave up.

I don't like admitting it (who does?) but I'm not feelin' the NaNoWriMo this year. I know, I know. I'm supposed to "just keep writing anyway". It's the exercise in making yourself write, not necessarily the story that comes out of it. I know t...

I've made the mistake of writing the "end" of my NaNoWriMo story. It was in my head, and I was excited, because I'd actually come up with an ending. Which I didn't start out with - so you can imagine my pleasure. This freak of a story which I...

It's getting near to NaNoWriMo again!

nobody@vox.com(wickedlibrarian) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 08:12:46 -0500

So guess what? My Minchin-heavy blog will soon be filled with my so-entertaining moanings about writing. I shall write in order to procrastinate from writing. That's brilliant, isn't it? I haven't really got much of an idea of what I'll be atte...

Big night for Mr Tim Minchin!

nobody@vox.com(wickedlibrarian) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 20:00:54 -0500

He appeared on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross and sang this hilarious song: And he also had the first of his three sold-out gigs at London's Hammersmith-Apollo (his biggest venue yet, seating 3,500), which from what I hear and read on Twitter, ...
