Don't you hate it when someone you actually liked and admired says something hopelessly stupid? Like for example that science fiction readers of color didn't exist before the internet? Como se what the fuck, Lois McMaster Bujold? Don't get me wrong, I still love Miles Vorkosigan and the epic Butterbug Fail to death, but come on.
That said, she has been soundly slapped by The Internetz and has vaguely acknowledged that her comment was kinda full of the dumbfail, but I'm still kinda scraping my jaw off the floor after reading it. Maybe I'll feel better if I shelve the series on the Writers On Serious Notice shelf next to Ender's Game.
In other news, it's GORGEOUS today. I wanna go out and play, not be in the office, lol. I know, I shouldn't complain considering I'm usually working from my pajamas these days but, mew, first sunny blue skyed day after a week of rain? It's calling my name! I wanna go out and soak it up. Later, maybe. I'm thinking perhaps walking back into town from CDH when I go. I was gonna try to head down to the five college credit union anyway... *sigh* this has been such a WIN weekend. I'm trying REAL hard not to think about going back to NY tomorrow, even though theoretically I'll need to swing back up at the end of the month for OfficeMove. Still, pout.
