Stuff and things and stuff and also more stuff and where's the floor?

Item the first: remember that I currently have a random-number giveaway for Deadline and some swag gathering entries. I'll be picking my three winners tomorrow. For details on how to enter and what you can potentially win, please see the post I've linked above. Go ahead. I can wait.

Item the second: this has literally been sitting in my link soup for a year, waiting for me to find something that makes it topical. As I have failed, I am now providing the link in isolation, because it amuses me. Moshez comments on zombies and weapons, and why my Horror Survival FAQ is sometimes sub-optimal. Join me in giggling.

Item the third: while I'm linking to random crap that makes me smile, here. Have the Animal Review review of the deep sea anglerfish. They give the anglerfish an overall F for being horrifying and upsetting and not really very friendly at all. Amusingly enough, these are all the reasons I give the anglerfish an overall A. For AWESOME.

Item the fourth: I can't remember if I ever actually linked to these, despite their being, you know, mad awesome, so here. Have a link to some absolutely gorgeous icons that were made using lyrics from my latest album, Wicked Girls. The icons, which are by snowishness, cannot help but make me happy, and so I am sharing them with you.

Item the fifth: Megan Lara's art is pure hammered awesome.

Item the sixth: I managed to find the Dead Tired Frankie Stein doll last night, which means a) I now have all the individual Dead Tired dolls except for Cleo De Nile, who I'm hoping to find this weekend, b) everyone at my local Toys R Us knows me on sight, and c) I am a total nerd. I am, thus far, a total nerd who has managed to resist the lure of the ball-jointed Soom doll, however, so I'm calling this a win for me, even as I call it a loss for my shelf space.

Item the seventh: I am so tired it physically hurts. I have to sleep tonight, or I'm just going to dissolve off my own bones like an overcooked chicken or one of those airline passengers in the first episode of Fringe. I didn't sleep at all on Tuesday night, and last night was our first really hot night of the summer, so the cats kept waking me up to freak out. Please play nicely today, as I may start to tremble and cry otherwise.

What's news with you?

Oh my god it makes me want to kill people. I PUT OUT THREE BOOKS A YEAR. How about you pay me faster so I can quit my day job and go up to four? Hmm? No? Then SHUT UP.

Grr.

Honey badger doesn't give a fuck.

Whenever people tell me to "update soon" I think about the number of books you put out, and the fact that your pseudonym advertises sleeping with a machete, and wondered how many people dared to say that to you... ;)

I finally started telling people to just stop saying it because it actually makes me write slower. Most understood, but a couple people got snippy, because "any review is a good review and I should be grateful." Maybe if you're TWELVE.

And yeah, Honey Badger doesn't care. Honey badger is a sleepy fuck.

I'm very similar. I have to fight not to slow down when people start in with that. Stupid human nature making me stubborn.

There are times in my life when I'm grown up enough to resist the urge. Pregnancy isn't one of them.
