Fantasy author Cathrynne M. Valente describes a day spent searching for coffee in Augusta, Maine. I thought Tulsa had problems, but we have plenty of Starbucks and no (known) axe-murderers buried under any of our cross-roads, so at least we're two up on Augusta.
And speaking of soul-sucking...
Don't trust anyone you meet online (via Wil Wheaton).
Both of these are potentially NSFW due to F-bombs.

Fandom Links - 7.28.09
Wow, would you look at that date? July is almost done for already. It was kind of a long month for me, so it didn't fly by quite as fast as all the others have, but it still flew. Next time I blink Husband will be back in class and my TV shows will be back on and it'll be time for 'WriMo, and I'm already starting to think about Christmas knitting projects.
So what does all of that have to do with today's links? Dear reader, I am here to tell you: not a blessed thing. I will stop rambling about the obvious now and get to them. These are all videos, but I'll be kind to your bandwidth and only post the links:
First up is Participate: The Revolution of Fan Culture, a short documentary that features a certain ginger-haired geek demigod who has absolutely nothing at all to do with any of the links below. I'm watching it now, and it's nothing new, really, but it's still fascinating. And I'm wondering now how many participants in fan culture, especially the more obsessive ones, skew toward the Autistic spectrum. I wish I made that connection back when it was time to do my senior psych-soc thesis.
If the above only whetted your appetite for more of Teh Whedon, you can go watch the Comic-Con Dollhouse panel.
And if that only whetted your appetite for more Franz Kranz (Topher!), you can go watch him in this hee-larious trailer for his upcoming web series, Megabot, which takes a look at a Power Rangers-like group ten years later, when they're still stuck wearing their colored spandex and driving a giant robot, even though they kind of hate it and each other. NSFW without headphones.
AND if your main reaction to the DH panel was "Where's Miracle Laurie (November-Mellie!)?!" you can go watch her and James C. Leary (Clem!) in their trailer for another upcoming web series, a musical comedy about cab drivers in space, The Cabonauts. A little more SFW ...but I'd still wear headphones.

Writing and Creativity Links - 7.27.2009
Some of these tabs have been open in my browser for more than a week. Time to put them to rest.
Footsteps To a Novel - A great breakdown from author Margaret McGaffey Fisk on how to get started turning your basic idea into a full-blown novel. Even after I've written a few, I still found this helpful as I start thinking about what I want to do for NaNoWriMo this year.
From there I found Fisk's list of writing tools, which includes useful things like a scene plotting spreadsheet and several different word count trackers.
The list also included a link to Holly Lisle's Index Card Plotting Method, which I have a feeling is going to change my writing life once I get around to trying it out for myself.
Not strictly related to writing, but to creativity in general, Tyler Durden's 8 Rules for Innovation is the article that inspired me to stop putting off the "Bully Bait" column I wrote about in the previous post (I've been kicking that idea around for almost a year now), make like a Nike spokesperson, and Just Do It. It's inspiring me to Just Do a lot of things, actually. Here's hoping that inspiration doesn't wane.

Unemployed, But Still Fabulous
Well, it's happened. As of 10:00 Monday morning, I'm officially out of a job. It sucks, but I think we're coping well. I've got a month's worth of pay still to come from my job, I filed my unemployment claim, and between that and temping and freelance work, I think we'll be okay until something more substantial comes along, as long as we forgo extras. Plus we've still got student loan money and a hefty tax refund coming our way. We may be shivering in the dark to save on utilities, but as long as we can make the house payment and eat well, we're pretty happy. If you like, you can read more about our coping strategy over at The Bauhaushold Report a bit later today.
At least there's been plenty to cheer me up. A supportive and understanding husband, love and support from friends and family, a brand-new grandnephew, and lots of naps have done plenty to keep my spirits high. In a stroke of fortuitousness (there's my $3 word for the day), as I was packing up my desk on Monday I received a package from a friend that was full of all kinds of inspirational and comforting goodies, including a big ol' bag of chocolates. Well-timed, indeed.
And as if that's not enough, Molly & Andy over at The Bumbles Blog gave me some love in the form of the award you see over at the left. Now it's up to me to spread the love by passing it on to my own Fab Five. For reasons unknown, also included in this meme is the requirement to list 5 personal addictions. I'm guessing the meme-makers were going for the frivolous kind, not AA-style confessionals. So here goes:
And now to pay it forward, I hereby bestow the Fabulous Blog award, should they choose to accept it, upon the following:
Now go. Read. Love.

I'm guessing the meme-makers were going for the frivolous kind, not AA-style confessionals. So here goes:1. Pandora. I've almost always got it running in the background. In fact, I'm listening to my Abba station right now. Which leads me to...
2. Abba. Really, is there a better pick-me-up than cranking up "Dancing Queen" and dancing like nobody's watching? I can't think of any. But I can think of a close second, and that would be...
3. I Can Has Cheez Burger? Serious stress-relief, right there. And on that note, I also can't get enough of...
4. Cute Overload. I defy you to stay grumpy or sad after a visit to that blog.
5. And finally, even though it's come and gone and I've had a love-hate relationship with them over the years, TWoP still keeps me coming back for more. I just can't resist the snark.
And now to pay it forward, I hereby bestow the Fabulous Blog award, should they choose to accept it, upon the following:
The Splintered Mind - Douglas Cootey's humorous accounts of living with ADHD and Depression inspire me as much as they make me smile.
Conditional Axe - Jeff Stolarcyk is a humorous geek. In other words, he's my people.
Lurking Rhythmically - Erin Palette makes emo fun. She's also hella talented.
The Kim Challenge - I first became a fan of Kim through her Daily Special and Pretty Imperfect web series over at the late, great Elastic Waist. Reading her daily struggles with food, body image and unemployment is like reading about myself. Only funnier and in better shape and living in a real city.
Blogging Away Debt - Teresa's financial struggles and amazing progress at paying down her family's credit card debt has been a huge inspiration in my life. Fabulous, indeed.
Now go. Read. Love.

Food & Body: Common Sense Eating
It's not online yet, but the February issue of Real Simple has a fantastic article on changing your approach to food. Of course the article breaks it down into psychology and physiology and other sciency facts, but what it all boils down to is pretty fundamental: eat anything you want, in moderation, when you're hungry, and stop eating when you're not hungry anymore.
It seems so common sense that it should earn a resounding "NO DUH!" And yet it's such a difficult concept to employ in real life. So much so that last year TLC squeezed an entire series out of the principle. My mom and aunt were fanatical about that series and preached its lessons to me constantly--and I do mean constantly. Like, every single time I spoke to either of them, and then again later in the conversation, because they're both a wee tad on the forgetful side and tend to repeat themselves. A lot. But I love them, and I digress. I listened politely and then went on my merry way ignoring every bit of it. Not because I thought the advice wouldn't work, but because I was myself (and still am, on principle if not in practice) slightly fanatical about the Zone, which has built in portion control if you do it right. It's also all about keeping your blood-sugar steady and advocates eating on a regular schedule whether you feel hungry or not. So this principle was useless to me, or so I believed.
But I'm not so much a Zone eater anymore, mainly because all that lean protein is hella expensive these days, while all those "unfavorable" grains and pastas are both affordable and delicious. And also, my husband has become quite the talented gourmet, and he doesn't want his culinary adventures to be hindered by rules about what we're allowed to eat. And also also, I'm perfectly happy to let him do all the cooking.
So suddenly, with even my fat pants feeling tight and the number on the scales creeping dangerously close to Oprah's Fail Weight, "eat when you're hungry, eat slowly, and stop eating when you're not hungry anymore" sounds like pretty good advice. And it turns out, this isn't about tricking your stomach into thinking it's not hungry anymore, as I previously suspected. It's about re-training your brain to identify and honor the signals your body gives it regarding food and hunger, an ability I'm pretty sure my brain lost before my age reached double-digits. The only thing I think these sensible eating gurus are off-base about is the idea that you keep eating to satisfy your stomach. I don't know about you, but it's my taste buds that I worry more about keeping happy. I know when I'm full. But I also know that my taste buds will be very sad if I stop putting the delicious flavor of the moment in my mouth. And my taste buds are bossy and have a lot of influence over my will to stop eating.
But I'm going to start eating this way. I already started, last night, with an incredibly tasty--and incredibly huge--enchilada de mi esposo. I ate slowly, taking the time to relish each bite, and stopping to enjoy my drink in between. When the time came to stop, my taste buds put up a mild tantrum, but the promise of getting to enjoy the rest of the enchilada later, when I felt hungry again, calmed them down pretty quickly. And today, when I ate the rest of the enchilada for lunch, they were very, very happy. I'll have to be sure to remind them about that tonight, when they start whining once the time comes to put the rest of my dinner away for later.

I now have sadness. :(
I have to add several new subscriptions to my feed reader now. And why is this? This is for the sad, sad reason that my current favorite blog, the one from which I look forward to updates more than any other, Elastic Waist, is ceasing to be. Today is its very last day, and all of its contributors are posting their goodbyes.
Thankfully, they're also posting their personal blog links, and links to their other projects. And so to help out my fellow stalkers of awesome people, here's a quick list of where these awesome gals can be found from now on.
Weetabix - outspoken champion for positive body image
Kim - Champion for health and fitness and bringer of the funny
Anne - Sassy champion for loving yourself just as you are, because you are loveable
As sad as I am to see EW come to an end, I'm also thankful and relieved that these amazing women will still be around, writing with as much honesty and poignancy and hilarity that they brought to EW. They'll probably never read this, but in case they do: Thank you, ladies, for making the last couple of years brighter, and good luck in all your future endeavors.

The Solace of the List
Are you a list person? I so very definitely am. Making lists gives me a sense of comfort and control that is just this side of irrationally wacky. Or maybe it's on the other side and I crossed that line five turn-offs ago. Is there a way I can tell? One that doesn't involve helping to pay the student loans of a person who went to school for six to eight years to earn a piece of paper that says they can officially tell me so?I know! I'll make a list!
All kidding aside, the truth is that list-making has saved my sanity on a really big number of occasions. When I have so much to do I can't figure out where to start? Make a list. When life dumps a big truckload of doody on top of me and I don't know how to dig myself out? Make a list. When I've got a big decision to make? List. Wanting to feel organized without having to actually organize anything that isn't bullet points on paper? Say it with me now... LIST!
I think that last item sums it up, why I'm so list-dependent. On the To Do variety, making a check-mark gives me a lovely sense of accomplishment. On every other kind, it helps me organize my thoughts, realize my options, gives me the feeling, even if I never do one blasted thing that's on the list, that I am making a PLAN. And having a PLAN means I am in CONTROL. That's right, move along, no chaos to see here. See? I have a list to prove it.
To illustrate how far this goes, I even have my own wiki. The first page of this wiki is a list of all of the projects that I'm either committed to, need to commit to, or wish I had the time to do, in that order. And each item in this first list is a link to a sub-list, a To Do list of things that need to happen to accomplish that project. Some of my sub-lists even have sub-lists, and on and on and on to infinity and beyond.
Neurotic? Sure, but who isn't these days? If you share this particular neuroses, then you are a kindred spirit and we should be friends. And also you might want to check out Wikispaces, where you can create and organize your own list-wikis completely free of charge, listing and linking and sublisting and interlinking all of your lists into a thing of freakish obsessive-compulsive beauty that only you can fully appreciate and understand. This is where my sanity lives. Won't you join me there?

I'm awake!
Holy frak, it's August already! Insert lame lazy/busy blogger apology here. Seriously, I have all kinds of excuses, you guys, but they're all painfully boring and/or too personal to share here.
Will you forgive me if I shower you with links? Because I have links. Boy, have I got links. First, though, a quick update: I'm feeling much, much better now (not counting a mild caffeine withdrawal headache, but my doctor, Dr. Pepper, is taking care of that). The answer to my grogginess turned out to be as simple as switching back from Zyrtec to Claritin. The Claritin's not quite as effective, but I'd rather be mildly sniffly and awake than a freely breathing zombie. Now I'm so wide awake I don't even need caffeine! ...which I decided to put to the test today. Which is why I now have a headache. So I won't be making that mistake again.
And now, in no particular order, links:
Tumbler: Autobot Edition - a Bat mobile/Transformers mashup. Somebody put a lot of thought into this, and it's pretty cool.
The State of the Web - Summer 2008 - some of these are lost on me (what's that two girls and a cup thing all about? Do I really want to know?), but still funny.
I Miss Buffy - Remember that "I Miss Buffy" song? Well, now there's a whole CD, featuring that song and others, including such hits as "Kinda Wish D'Hoffryn Was My Boyfriend", "Lipstick Wiccans", and "I Think My Roommate Is a Demon With a Soul".
Neil Patrick Harris as the Sesame Street Shoe Fairy - for those of us (isn't that pretty much everybody?) who didn't get enough Singing!NPH in Dr. Horrible. Plus, Muppets!
And speaking of Muppets: Groverfield. It's exactly what it sounds like. "Hellooo everybuddeeeeeee!"
The Evil League of Evil will soon begin accepting applications, so get to work perfecting that evil laughter.
If you're pining for some Buffyverse academia, here's an interesting (and kinda long) character study of Spike.
Bad Horse ringtone - "Bad horse! Bad horse! Bad horse! He's bad!" I want this desperately to be my ringtone, but I can't figure out how to get it on my phone. Guess I'm stuck with the Fruity Oaty Bar jingle.
Captain Hammer vs. Captain Tightpants - yup, that looks about right.
Cake Wrecks - Oh, dear. There just are no words...and yet this blogger finds some funny ones to apply anyway.
And finally...
DO NOT PRESS. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Quickly, before I have to race the sleet and snow home
Links of interest on this dreary Monday morning:
This is quite possibly the neatest web design in the history of web designs.
This free online Tales of the Slayer comic by Drew Goddard is pretty funny. Lo, the spider-eating man-bitch returneth.
Elsewhere in the galaxy of Buffy alumni, Amber Benson directed a Common Rotation video.
Giving away books online seems to be all the rage these days: Go and read Neil Gaiman's American Gods for free.
In Which I Rant About This Year's "Best Picture"
We used my Friday off to finally see No Country for Old Men. The consensus between me, Husband, and Husband's friend: Eh? It felt like two different movies mashed together. One was a quiet little introspective film about growing old while the world changes around you and you feel helpless to stop it, and in the middle of this somebody plopped the first two-thirds of a really kick-ass action/thriller. We loved the action/thriller part--and Javier Bardem definitely earned that Oscar. That guy was CREE. PEE.--that got us all worked up and invested in Josh Brolin's character and his plight, only to have it end abruptly, any resolution having happened off-screen and returning to the introspective old man movie, which also ended abruptly, and pretty much left the three of us sitting there going, "What the eff was that?" That said, the acting, cinematography, dialogue, etc. were all excellent. But I have many, many issues with the story structure and pacing, and I feel like the intent was to play around with story structure in unexpected ways for the sake of ART, at the audience's expense, and really, I can't stand that crap. I want a resolution to my story. What's more, I want a resolution to the story I spent almost two hours getting really invested in. I want characters that exist for more than the sake of getting killed in shocking and violent ways. I don't want to be jerked around and left feeling like I just had my lunch money stolen. Boo, Cohen brothers. Boo.

Coffee break
Yes, I'm having a third cup again. I'll try not to let this become a habit, but really, I can't be this busy without caffeine to propel me.
While I'm sipping I'm reading Lifehack.org, and they have an interesting collection of Ten Productivity and Organization Myths that, if subscribed to, are a good way to shoot yourself in the foot.
Also of interest is this list of ten negative misapprehensions about introverts and ways to correct them. As a textbook INFP, I gotta say, this list addresses a few peeves of mine.
Back to work.
