Bullet Points of Life: Crazy stinkin’ bizzay, yo!
I have been stupidly busy since I got back from Baltimore. Here’s a short summary of what’s been going on with me…
- I’ve been heads down working on two projects right now. First, I’ve been trying to get into the swing of writing the Daily Dozen feature for Wizard World Digital. This is a new gig that I got via my pal, Ethan Kaye. It’s basically what it sounds like — writing lists of cool shit to publish on a daily basis. I like it, it’s fun, the best part? When they pay me the money.
- The other project I’ve been working on is a series of interviews with women in the comics industry for Bleeding Cool. Last week the first of about ten of these interviews ran (with Louise Simonson, link in the post immediately below) and this week an interview with former DC editor, Joan Hilty is going to run. This is blending itself into the panel I’m mod’ing at Geek Girl Con in a few weeks… it’s exciting stuff with the potential to turn into a book or something not far off on the horizon.
- And, of course, Elliott and I are still plugging away on the geeky-dating advice column which is KYPO. We had two columns run last week: One about friends with benefits and one about the horrible anti-geek Gizmodo article which blew up the net last week…
- I’ve had some changes to the landscape of my personal life recently, too. Don’t really want to talk about it, so I’m not going to - but suffice it to say that I’ve been a little down in the mouth in recent weeks. HOWEVER: That is about to change, as one of the people I love the most - Dave - is coming to visit me this weekend. I haven’t seen him in way-fing-too-long. I am giddy at the thought of spending a weekend with him getting up to no good (because that is what we do). There are burlesque and roller derby plans in the work. Plus I imagine a goodly amount of time will be spent dicking around Chicago…
- Following Dave’s visit I will be bivouacking to Ohio for my nephew’s FIRST BIRTHDAY. Craziness, right? I’ll be hunkered down at the parental’s until the 25th, then back to Chicago — then to Seattle for Geek Girl Con and NYC for NYCC, respectively. THEN back to Ohio for Mid-Ohio Comic Con. Then I am going to curl up in the fetal position and take a long-ass nap.
