Two potatoes....that's all!

I glanced at my sub list (when updating it) and discovered that I only have two stories out. One's at WOTF, and the other is at Asimov's. Hmmmm....

Stats behind the cut( Read more... )

OK, so I have practically nothing out there. I do have a story at Baen's Bar, another almost ready to go up there, a third not far behind. Possibly the June story as well, but I haven't gotten far on May's.

This is like being a grocery store with two potatoes left on the shelves and the next truck not due for days! EEP!

7 random things about me...

The Rules:
Here are the rules: Each person tagged blogs 7 random facts about themselves, as well as the rules of the game. You need to tag seven others and list their names on your blog. You have to leave those you plan on tagging a note in their comments so they know that they have been tagged and to read your blog.

1) I fence--foil and saber--but I haven't actually done so since last Jan. when my doctor freaked out about something. I hope to start back again this fall. I am childishly excited about getting a new practice saber in the mail sometime soon. (It's on the road)
2) I'm mundane. I was told once at a workshop that I should wear a shirt to cons that says 'mundane' becasue of my rather boring and comparatively mainstream personality. Please note, all my local friends think I'm comparatively weird. It's all about perspective.
3) A few years ago, we went on a camel safari in the Outback. A week with only the personal supplies in two Ziploc bags. I learned many interesting things, among them: camels carry water--which makes almost any behavior tolerable, you will eat anything when you're hungry enough, swallowing flies will not kill you, sleeping in dirt will not kill you, and going without bathing will not kill you---but you will stink. Everybody stinks, you really don't notice that often. When it gets cold enough, I can't sleep.
4) Despite the fact that I will eat food that has fallen on the floor, I hesitate over natural bodies of water....they have stuff living in them. Ick!
5) Another interesting tidbit learned while out in the desert...Don't send me to a new planet and ask me to name the constellations. All I see is triangles and parallelograms.
6) I still have not determined exactly how the quadratic formula is a distance formula. I know that it is and I even know what it measures, but I just haven't sat down and worked it out.
7) I taught both English and Calculus. Give me Calculus any day. English is WAY too hard to teach.

Cool, I'm done!
