Imminent Anna sightings!
For Seattle-area locals, hey, I’m going to be at Norwescon! Not in a professional writer-type capacity, but I WILL be there, and I’ll be easily found providing assistance to Dara during the music concerts! And just in case anybody wants one, I will also be bringing my few remaining print copies of Faerie Blood. And…

Internets, I give you my new author pic
At the day job this afternoon, my team’s having a little party for our lead dev’s birthday! The theme is mustaches, so there are cookies and cupcakes with mustaches decorating them. And they brought in fake mustaches (the box for which was helpfully labelled EMERGENCY MUSTACHES, y’know, for all your whisker-impairment needs) for all of…

Tri-lingual Hobbit re-read: Chapter 10 (German notes)
And now, last but not least, the notes for Chapter 10 of the German edition of The Hobbit! Which are rather shorter than the French notes, but then, my grasp of German is still rather shorter than my grasp of French is these days, and I’m still not having those a-ha moments where I get…

This is what the inside of my head looks like
There are days where I wish I could draw, sometimes. Because I have a picture in my head I’d TOTALLY draw if I had the time, and I’d be calling it ‘The Many Fandoms of Anna the Piper’. There’d be a version of me right in the front with a Great Big Sea shirt, bouncing…

Tri-lingual Hobbit re-read: Chapter 10 (French notes)
This post is the French notes for Chapter 10 of the Tri-lingual Hobbit Re-read! Spinning the French notes off into their own post because um, yeah, they got kinda LARGE. Notes for the German edition will be in a subsequent post!

Tri-lingual Hobbit re-read: Chapter 10 (General notes)
Been a bit, but now, getting back to it, let’s do Chapter 10 of The Hobbit! Objectively speaking, not terribly much actually happens in this chapter. We’re basically talking the following chain of events: Bilbo and dwarves: *float downriver to Laketown* Bilbo: *gets dwarves out of barrels* Thorin: “I am Thorin Oakenshield! KNEEL BEFORE ZOD–”…

Hey look, I made a MUSIC!
Internets, I cannot tell you how much I needed to forget dealing with computers for a couple of hours, and go play me some music with the local Quebec session crowd. We had a pretty tiny group tonight, and things were relaxed and groovy–all the better for a newbie player like myself to try to…

Great Big Sea at the Moore in Seattle, 3/8/2013
It has not escaped my attention, O Internets, that I never did actually finish the series of posts about our Great Canadian Adventure this past summer–and of course the highlight of same, the Great Big Sea show at Torbay in Newfoundland. Given that it is now several months after the fact posting about that would…

Wow! New Julia Ecklar album!
Just to demonstrate to you all that every so often I do in fact listen to other forms of music besides “Great Big Sea” and “everybody in Quebecois trad”, I share with you the news that Julia Ecklar is finally releasing a new album! And it’s available for pre-order now! For those of you unfamiliar…

Sneak peek: pics of Great Big Sea at the Moore!
The full show writeup is on the way, but for those of you who haven’t already seen me post these pics to the social networks, behold! My first attempt at getting a full shot of pics of the B’ys on my phone! These were taken from Stage Bob in the second row, so we were…
