Sophie (7) and I watched a terrific documentary last night about origami, and before your eyes roll back in your head, consider this: Sophie and I probably gasped a genuine and synchronized “WOW!” at least thirty times during that 54 minutes.
Folded from one piece of paper!!!!!
The film starts with [...]
Paul started getting annoyed the other night at Luc who kept changing his mind about what he wanted to eat. Finally Paul said, “Get over here and eat this or I’m going to whup you.”
Luc, with zero hesitation, growled back, “BRING IT ON.” Little five year old guy with cherub cheeks and long blond [...]
If I’m going to epub a book, I need to be able to see what it is I’m selling. So I got a kindle. Actually, I cashed in a bunch of amazon rewards points and got a kindle for $14. But now that I actually have one, I must report that I’m really not that [...]
I’m up ridiculously early, about to get in some writing. Shhh. Everyone is asleep. Except the cat who is staring at me. Why is she looking at me like that, like “you suck but it’s beneath me to care.” Cats.
I’m working with an editor on one of my novels, I’m so excited. And terrified. [...]
… and Sophie is seven. Seven! Forty! How has this happened?
Luc helped with the wish-blowing. Sophie had on a fabulous hat and a purple boa. My mom made her wonderful cheesecake. All this after a huge sushi feast with all the aunts and uncles and great-grandmothers, which I might have [...]
A while back I bemoaned my injured hamstring attachment. I went off all yoga for a week, then found I still couldn’t do any kind of forward bending anything, so switched to Intermediate (much Swensized). I added the Bow sequence from Vinyasa Krama Yoga to flesh out the beginning [...]
We went to the giant candy mega gourmet sugar emporium today, wowza, I love that place. We bought foil wrapped chocolate hearts, sampled chocolate truffles, and got two small bags of candy by the pound. Sophie chose licorice mix and mary janes, Luc opted for jellybeans and buttermints. On [...]
I am talking to a couple of artists about creating a cover image for Conjuring Raine. This is really fun, and also ridiculously stressful. But anyway, the current idea has both Raine and Joshua on it, and thus, I’m having to explain something of what they should look like, beyond the deliberately vague physical descriptions [...]
THIS is the most hilarious thing I’ve read lately.
Go now. Read. Laugh. I promise.
What are you still doing here?
Rubyfish is our new hand-dyed and decorated clothing venture, coming soon to an etsy shop near you. Sophie is head designer, while I do the back-end grunt work. For example, Sophie painted this lovely logo and chose the font, while I did the scanning, cropping, and uploading.
Together we will rule [...]

"Dusi's Wings" April, 2003. . . .
"One thing fantasy can do for us is to give shape to the mysterious in the world; another is to make emotional yearning concrete. The early sections of "Dusi's Wings" do just that...there was a strong grasping towards the spiritual in fantasy here that was very promising, and I look forward to reading more by Lassiter." --review, Tangent Online.twitterage
