So, James Franco is coming to my school today.
In other news, my fanart productivity has decreased by %96 since August 2009!
i posted a bunch of wedding photos to flickr for anyone interested in seeing them:
this year is becoming a blur! i can't believe that was a month ago almost to the day.
here's a photo i took yesterday morning while on my morning walk. it was one of those moments where i didn't think i got the photo, but then when i looked at my viewfinder, i realized i got it better than i ever imagined:
i love when that happens.

I don't know why the comic is updating the day after it's supposed to, but it's really obnoxious. Well, at least it updated, right? Hopefully this will be fixed by tomorrow's update, and I apologize again to everyone.
Good morning, busybodies.

I went to XinjiangProvince in Western China to continue researching my Monkey/China book. This is the photo I took of a scenic building that, I discovered when the men came out to arrest us, turned out to be a police station. If you're in Kashgar do not take pictures of this building. Trust me on this.
This is what I was researching and working on. (As seen in a little town square, on the way to Yarkand):
Xinjiang Province is going to be hard to write about. It's like walking into the Arabian Nights in some ways, and like going back in time in others. It was especially like going back in time on this trip, as, following the Uighur riots in Urumqi in July, the Chinese Government turned off the Internet, text messaging and all international phone calls in or out of the region. I had a great guide who was terrified I'd talk politics, and I rapidly discovered that everything except conversations about the spice-sellers in the market...
While I was there my camera started misbehaving: I hadn't even realised it had a motor in it, but the motor started vibrating gently, producing some very beautiful shots that weren't really what I wanted...
Like this shot of a lady in Yarkand market selling peppers and tomatoes that seem to have turned into jewels.
I went from there to Jinan, Wuqiao and Beijing.
This photo, taken in Beijing was one of the highlights of my trip -- and was one the main reasons I went back to China. I wanted to talk to Liu Xiao Ling Tong (the stage name for Mr Zhang Jinlai), who played Monkey in the Chinese television version of Journey to the West. (Here's his blog.)
Then I went to Chengdu. I don't have photos on my camera of the Galaxy Award ceremony, or the speech I gave at Sechuan University, or the visit to the Earthquake Zone and the talk I gave to the kids there. (Science Fiction World and I are starting a library for them.) (If I can get some photos I'll put them up.)
And I was not able to take photos of the encounter with the fourth holiest Buddhist in China, because he is not to be photographed.
So instead here's a photo of Amanda Palmer, who joined me for my last few days in China, on the side of a mountain having been recognised by some happy Chinese tourists...
More photos of China and Singapore in my next post, I hope. In summary: Singapore was wonderful, but the visit was much much too short: we were there for about 50 hours altogether. Once again, the food was amazing and the people delightful.
...
Let's see. A quick handful of links...
A theatrical production of Neverwhere in Chicago next year is producing a fascinating visit-to-London blog over at http://neverwhat.blogspot.com/.
I'll be at the Arts Festival in New Zealand in March. Here's the Town Hall event - http://www.nzfestival.nzpost.co.nz/write

Through most of this summer I was playing with a Lomography Camera. The kind with film in, where you have no idea what you took until it's developed. (The one I used was an LC-A+.) I'm starting to love the results, especially when everything comes in slightly oversaturated. They look like pictures of dreams.
(Middle photo of the amazing bubble by Miss Holly Gaiman. Who is fundraising.)(And you can, of course, click to embiggen the pictures.)

And finally, people sometimes write in and point out that, when I return home, I post pictures of my dog, rapturously dashing somewhere or dancing or stick-wielding to welcome me home. "Why do you not ever post pictures of cats?" they ask.
I'm sad to say that while I was away, Hermione died. She was the surviving member of the two mad cat sisters who live in the basement library and Do Not Mingle, and she was almost eighteen. You can see her in this Photosynth of my library downstairs (needs Silverlight). It feels strangely unbalanced to be in a house without Pod and Hermione in it.
Good point. Here is Coconut welcoming me rapturously home:
Here is Princess, doing her version of a rapturous welcome, glad that I have not forgotten the trick that she taught me to do, during my time away. The trick involves turning on the tap in the guest bathroom and letting her alternately drink and attack the water with her sharp teeth, until she gets bored:
There. Goodnight.
Title: Cause For Celebration
Fandom: Star Trek TOS and related movies; Kirk/Spock
Rating: G or PG, I think.
Summary: After the events of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Jim and Spock discuss where their relationship is going. In bed.
Author's note: If you see any typos, please PLEASE point them out! My spellcheck hates me lately.
( Now Spock looked amused, which Jim could almost have gotten mad about, except that the way his eyes shone when he got that particular look on his face was one of the first things Jim had really loved about Spock. )

Sorry folks, I have some kind of stomach bug. Back on track tomorrow, hopefully.
These guys are for Luvable + Hugable at Gallery Hanahou, which is coming up soon! I will have more info on the show on my news page very soon. I have a few more plush for the show that are almost done (they will be shipping out tomorrow) but meanwhile here are the finished two.
I’ve had to stop taking dinner photos, since it gets dark so early now. Let me tell you Butternut Squash with browned butter looks pretty gross when you take its photos with a flash. But it tasted good :)
I did get a photo of the Spanish Tortilla I made for my son’s Spanish class the other day. Everyone brought in food to celebrate the end of term. I found these instructions and tips so very helpful, the whole thing seemed like it was going to be scary, but went so smoothly I think I might make another next week for us to eat. I also made Polvorones de Canele for a taste of Mexico, which I remembered from a class party when we lived in Texas. But I didn’t get a photo of those because as soon as I got the last batch cooled and packed up I had to head to the school to drop them off.
Anyhow without my own photos here are some of the recipe we have enjoyed so far this week…Butternut Squash with browned butter (their photo had me sold), Roasted Cauliflower-which was oh so good, I can’t thank the person that reccomeneded the Simplyrecipes site enough, it’s great! Tonight I am making up a batch of these amazing looking pumpkin parfaits for Thursday, but will veganize them so Tom can share the goodness :)
This is an excerpt from an AIM convo I had today:

Hello, busybodies.
I've no idea what's going wrong with the site, but rest assured that people who do are working on it. The comic will be delayed until then. :( Sorry!
