Oh, thank God this is a four-day week

Yeah, I know -- I've been quiet. Between the amount of work that's just landed on my desk at the Death Star, getting Issue #9 of Helix SF up and loaded tonight, and finishing up some work for a web client, I am seriously trashed and looking forward to the upcoming three-day weekend. I may even pick up a hibachi grill somewhere so that we can grill chicken breasts and hamburgers on the balcony.

It would also help if I wouldn't sabotage myself by staying up to read news and only getting four hours of sleep, but hey, that would be far too simple.

On a more amusing note, since the Tour de France starts this weekend I'm getting my quilting projects lined up (I still have beaucoup batiks and a trés nifty new pattern to try out) and I need to hit Hancock's and pick up four yards of my usual white backing fabric. Haven't really sewn in a couple of months -- this should be kinda fun.

Speaking of Helix SF

We have a cracking good lineup this quarter, too (and I'm not just saying that because my story "Lusts of the Cat Queen: A Dash Manning Adventure" is in it). We've got "The Bitrunners" by Tina Connolly, "Dead Silent" by Leah Cypess, "The Mermaids' Tea Party" by Samantha Henderson, "Break the Vessel" by Vylar Kaftan, "An Act of Conviction" by Ruth Nestvold and "The Kennel Club" by Jennifer Pelland, plus some very nifty poetry. Hella good lineup there.

And as always we have cracking good columns from Bud Webster and John Barnes, plus the ever-entertaining editorials by William Sanders and Lawrence Watt-Evans. Barnes' column is particularly educational for all the writers-to-be out there.

So what are you waiting for? Go, read, donate!
