New cantina eh? Are there drinks being served?
Hmmm, actually, I don't drink that much...anything alcohol free like a fruit smoothie or a sparkling water?
<---- gets drunk on fruit smoothies
Man, you're supposed to use the fruit ON the tree, not on the ground around it. Fermentation, dude. Fermentation.
Um, Cantina, will someone pinch me? A partial request just turned into a full. Other than the book that sold direct to a small press, none of my queries has done as well as this one.

I has a sad. One of my all time favorite bosses is leaving Arizona to go back to New Zealand after 20 years in the US. Genius moldmaker and prop master. With whom shall I make zombie cadaver props for cheap horror flicks, now?
Ooo, shiny Cantina. I feel underdressed and muddy.
Bet I can beat you on the muddy front today
Cantina, I have survived my first Tough Mudder!!!!
It was awesomesauce. Proof is on Twitter, in case you are curious. And yes, I did add a little purple to my hair for the heck of it. It goes well with the mud that is still permanently ingrained in places now.
Oh, oh, AND I managed to run through the final obstacle of lots of electrodes that will shock you with 10K volts, and I maneuvered around all of them! Score one for Winks.
Though I made up for that by getting shocked at least 20 times as I crawled in the mud through an earlier electrode field. Mostly on my bum because apparently I crawl like an inch worm and stick it up. Not cool. Not. Cool. There was a lot of squawking going on that had the other contestants laughing their butts off, but I couldn't help it.
So, all that being said, no writing was had today. I have an excuse.
Simple reason is that the first half of this year has been very busy, what with quite a few commitments and a few other real-world things that may well be happening. I also was working quite a bit of overtime to pay for a few things, including a new kitchen floor and my visit to Finland next month for Worldcon. (If you're going, see you there.) So that squeezed my time quite bit, and energy levels too, truth be told. It's been a lot of hard work, though I do enjoy doing it, but my Blu-ray/DVD review column for a certain magazine has just been shortlisted for a British Fantasy Award in Best Non-Fiction.
Just tried to cut the worst of puppy's fur tangles, and accidentally cut her! Horrifying. She seems to have forgiven me, what with lying next to me. I'm not quite done grooming her, but we've both had more than enough for today, methinks.
Morning, Cantina.
Survived the day trip yesterday. (Which was not so much dramatic, just a lot of hours spent in the car on an infamously bad highway route where one semi truck swung out in front of us with inches to spare. And later, a different truck actually ran us off the road onto the shoulder. Blech. I get that driving trucks is hard work, but aggressive drivers are the worst.)
Working on some review requests this morning. Maybe fictional words later. Depends on how my brain behaves.
Aggy, tired out still
You could just tell them having you for 20 hours must be better than having you not at all.

Yeah. Funny thing is, she just growled while I was cutting her, but a moment later I was combing the other pup and pulled on her tail at which she screeched.Poor pup! I'm glad she forgave you, though.
new Cantina, new Doctor, we're in a time of new beginnings!
Yup, just saw the promotional video for that. Very pleasantly surprised. Well done, BBC, you caught me off guard.
same! they'd been hinting at it, but I didn't think they'd go through with it. they didn't last time it was hinted. but THEY DID and it's a miracle
