I have a bunny weakness.
I’m not sure when this affliction struck me. Possibly at an early age. You’d think it would be squirrels. My name in Japanese is Risu, which means squirrel. Squirrels are lovely creatures with big puffy tails. And damn it, while I adore them. I even squeed the first time I saw one! Don’t judge. I grew up in Hawai’i. There aren’t any squirrels there. Bunnies just DO it for me.
This… keeled me. Ded.
I am a bit of a geek. I didn’t think I was but apparently, my geek fu is quite high. I deny this but most of my friends are quick to point out the geekery of my brain. :::sniffs:::
I would refute this but some of them are engineers and if they think you’re geeky then perhaps a bit of it is the truth.
Bastiges.
When I was very young, my grandfather gave me a series of Time-Life books. Some of them had to do with dinosaurs and early mammals. I LOVED those books. Filled up my little Asperger’s heart with a gleeful gleeing thing. Dinosaurs! Funky Saber-toothed things!
I was actually more in love with the pictures but the text was pretty decent. Things and theories have changed over the years but I still have a deep love for the prehistoric.
Case in point:

I need to really get into writing. I have a good portion going. My brain’s all wiped from jetting about so I’m hoping to reboot it and keep going. Nothing some vietnamese coffee can’t cure.
This is where we live. It always fascinates me to see these. Such a lovely place.

Absolutely love this show. I want longer seasons damn it!
In the past twenty days, I’ve been in four cities. San Francisco for “author” stuff, Los Angeles for a comic convention, back home to San Diego for a few days and New York until yesterday for work.
I can tell you that I hate flying. I love getting there. Flying is the thing of the devil, mostly because I get airsick. Puking my guts out like a starfish at an all you can eat minnow buffet sick. It’s been like that since I was a kid. I’d go into why but I think it would squick out a lot of people. If you’re curious, ask in the comments. Muah hah hah. I’m too tired for sharks-with-lasers evil laughter so that’s just going to have to do.
Met some lovely people at Yaoi Con in San Francisco. Pimped the Coffee Unicorns’ books while I was there. Ah, I will have to get into the Coffee Unicorns group explanation some time soon but suffice it to say, it was a good time.
I’d taken a friend to the con… her first. I figured Yaoi Con was a good damned place to start. Great times were had. Food was eaten and oogling happened.
Who could ask for more in life?

The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book shaped my mind. God, I love it to pieces.
Keep in mind that the first movies I ever remember seeing was a double feature of Death Race 2000 and the unrated version of Clockwork Orange at a drive-in with my parents.
Hoshi and I were in San Francisco for Yaoi Con and stopped in at Lou’s Blues Club. It’s upstairs above the restaurant. I wish I’d gotten the name of the band. The young guitarist is 15 years old and the son of the other guitarist. He shredded with the best of them. Very professional. God I hope he keeps it up. He’s really good.
