Good Things About Today

[raefinlay]

1) Charlie and progeny took me out for THAI FOOD!!! for my birthday. *dies of teh happy* The restaurant is only blocks away from the place we'll be (hopefully) living soon. Thai food! In Ohio!!!

2) Got contrib copies from Weird Tales. Wow...those Wildside folks are sure putting together pretty magazines. The issue leads off with my story, "Fugue" (aka "Crazy Dungeon Dude") and has a wonderful illustration. All italics were edited out, which makes for a stronger story and would probably not have appeared in the first place had I written it more recently. I couldn't be happier with it.

3) My replacement iPod Nano came. (The first one had a bad battery.) The vendor I purchased it from didn't have any more 2GB Nanos left. Alas, I have to suffer with a 4GB model. *tee-hees aalll day*

4) After stuffing myself with THAI FOOD! I had the Best Nap Ever.

As A.A. Milne put it, Hippy Pappy Bthuthday! And Many Happy Returns.

And as for the Thai food in OH -- well, honey, that's why we are called the Yellow Horde. . . we're EVERYWHERE! MWAHAHAHAHAH!

Ok, just kidding there. But Thai food is the best for a happy day! All that heat just makes me feel like I am floating.

Happy b-day yet again! And just in case he doesnt' succeed, Adam has been trying to get a hold of you to say Happy B-day as well. He actually called me to see if you had a different number he could try.

Woohoo about Fugue! Yay! That is still my favorite of your short stories. I'm dancing. Really.

Doode! Do I know you and not know it, or has my sister actually fessed up to being "Rae-Rae"???

Can't wait to pick up Weird Tales.

Rae -- happy birthday! So glad to hear you're happy with the way the Weird Tales issue turned out. FYI, it should be in comic shops now, in bookstores very very soon, and it's started to reach subscribers within the past couple days.

I love the new look of the magazine, especially the attention to detail like the corner page key illustrations in Rae's story. All good stuff.

Holy cow... it was your birthday?! I thought we were eating Thai food to celebrate the boys cleaning their room.

Well, then, happy birthday! I'll have to make it up to you with another dinner, I guess.

Thanks, Charlie! We're trying to make sure each and every issue is just a little spiffier than the last.
