13th Night

Posted on January 7, 2016 by Kate

Kage Baker, as I have often recounted, had an extraordinary memory. I bring this up today because I myself somehow forgot that yestreday was 12th Night. How, you may ask? Damned if I know; despite writing the date all day … Continue reading →

Rain

Posted on January 5, 2016 by Kate

Kage Baker loved the rain. Not being out in it, mind you, except under extraordinary circumstances; she preferred the experience, as she preferred most experiences, at one remove. She used to love watching the rain fill up the canyons of … Continue reading →

Celebrate! Celebrate!

Posted on January 2, 2016 by Kate

December 31, 2015

Posted on December 31, 2015 by Kate

Kage Baker rated years like restaurants. This year, 2015, would have gotten a skull and crossbones. Only one, though, and lower case  – so, like, a toothless skull and 2 gnawed chicken legs. It wasn’t a vast and evil year, … Continue reading →

Short Circuit

Posted on December 30, 2015 by Kate

Kage Baker is my role model for dealing with this winter. Hibernate! That’s the ticket. I have a migraine today – or possibly a zombat is eating my brain. It’s hard to tell; maybe I need to adjust my CPAP … Continue reading →

Where The Pavement Ends

Posted on December 29, 2015 by Kate

Kage Baker said she saw each year as a dead end. Not a waste of time – she worked hard to make sure every  year was packed to bursting-full of work, meaning and consequence. Succeeded, too. No, she simply  envisioned … Continue reading →

A Zombie Story

Posted on December 28, 2015 by Kate

 Kage Baker:  you may imagine her cursing her lunhs out if you like, Dear Readers. She would be, if this were happening to her. My computer just ate my entire blog entry. I must post before midnights, so explanations must … Continue reading →
