In 2009, kiplet resolves to... Drink four glasses of morecoffeeem every day. Spend more time with my rehnquists. Connect with my inner suzych. Get back in contact with some old whizzer whites. Lose ten comics by March. Find a new decklin.

8:13 am - Is this thing on?
|
Stepping in momentarily to point out that issue no. 8 of City of Roses, "Beauty," premieres online in exactly one week.
Which is just enough time to go get caught up.

A brief announcement in service of no interests but my own, perhaps: City of Roses No. 7, “Gin-soaked,” has begun. It’ll appear Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from now until the 14th.

11:11 pm - Photomeme!
|
- Take a picture of yourself right now.
- Don’t change your clothes.
- Don’t fix your hair
- Just take a picture.
- Post that picture with no editing. (Except maybe to get the image size down to something reasonable. Don’t go posting an eight megapixel image.)
- Include these instructions.

Discount if you’ve already seen this elsewhere: the sixth fit of City of Roses, “Anvil,” has begun to appear for free over thataway. So: new stuff Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for the next two weeks.
Meanwhile, I’ve got to start worrying about the seventh...

5:26 pm - Anvils and zines, oh my!
|
|
I'll be tabling at the Portland Zine Symposium for the third year in a row, with chapbooks, sneak peeks, photo-prints, roses, and maybe even some stickers. Would you like some stickers? —If you're really especially very good, I might even have finished no. 6 by then. —But you won't know if you don't show. So.

2:17 pm - Dear 6Apart, and/or LiveJournal--
|
I did not ask for Snap Shot (TM) previews on every link on my Friends page. I did not ask for Snap Shot (TM) previews on every link on my Friends page because I do not want Snap Shot (TM) previews on every link on my Friends page. Snap Shot (TM) previews are one of those things whose appeal I've never understood; they're slow, they're very slow, they're buggy, and they mask the terribly handy link preview text down in the lower left corner of the browser.
Also, they're slow.
How do I make the Snap Shot (TM) previews on every link on my Friends page go away?
Thanking you in advance.
PS: They're on my main page, too. --Is there a switch somewhere I'm missing where I can turn them off? Because I can't seem to find one, nor any mention of Snap Shot (TM) previews being applied as an unwanted default to every link in LiveJournal on any of the various design and update communities I can find. Of course, the various design and update communities I can find don't appear to have Snap Shot (TM) previews on every link. So there must be a simple way to turn them off. Right? Right?

8:17 pm - Coyote is icumen in, lhude sing cuccu!
|
The third issue of Coyote Wild, a quarterly journal of speculative fiction—spec fic? spiffy? slipstream? the phantastick, lightly tripped? good stuff?—has, at any rate, appeared as scheduled: the Summer issue, which features, among a brace of poems and an ogdoad of stories, fine company indeed, which I’ll be getting to know better after dinner and a bit of pomegranate liqueur, but look a moment there, under the heading Special Feature, where you’ll find the “Prolegomenon” of my own little City of Roses.
Which accounts for today’s default setting of goofy, head-splitting grin.

10:24 pm - Yet more evidence the terrorists have won.
|
Apparently, ever since 9/11, luggage lockers have been banished from train stations in New York City.
What use is civilization, I ask you?
Anyway, we're (probably) training down from Boston to Penn Station and we'll need a place to store a large piece of luggage until we catch a train from Penn Station to the Jersey shore. Neither train is Amtrak, or we'd check the bags with them. Anyone have any (other) solutions?

Tomorrow (yes, it’s past midnight; so what) is my 38th birthday. —Tonight (yes, for it is still tonight), I thought I was heading down to the Bowery to watch the second disk of the second season of Veronica Mars. Instead, a roomful of friends from a bewildering variety of contexts all leaped out of the same room and yelled Happy Birthday, and then some of the best cartoonists in the Western Hemisphere handed me their interpretations of various City of Roses characters.
—Also, spinooti gave me a copy of Lord Breaulove Swells Whimsy’s The Affected Provincial’s Companion, Vol. 1.
I’ll have to figure out how best to share this bounty over the next few days; tomorrow, we’re driving out to the Shire for the day. But until further notice, let me just rather woozily say:
wow

Additional kiplet content available via LiveJournal:
Also, I do want to point out the chapbooks. —What you do with this knowledge is entirely up to you.
