Breaking Dawn Release Party



I don't normally like to use my blog to advertise my work, but it seems appropriate considering how much it represents of my recent activities. I have been helping to organize a release party for the fourth book in Stephanie Meyer's Twilight saga, Breaking Dawn. You can visit our website for more details, and if you live anywhere remotely near Long Beach, you really ought to come for the party. Dressed up, of course. It's at La Muse East Village Cafe on Ocean and Linden. Call ahead if you want to join the die-hards for an exclusive pre-party dinner. And if you have any costume ideas for me, send them my way. I'm all out of fangs and fake blood.

    Um, CRAPOLA. You originally told me this was taking place on the 2nd, which is Saturday, and I just realized after talking to mom that it is on FRIDAY, the 1st. Poopyfartola. Ok. Will discuss with hubby and see what weekend plans entail and see what we can do about all this misinformation communication stuff. Perhaps I can still come...

    I am sorry. To begin with, I thought it was the second, too. Because the book IS being released on the second. Only midnight on the 2nd is really the night of the 1st. It took a while for me to figure that out. If you can't make it, dear one, I will understand. It's not as though you're reading the books or anything. And Spencer Smith of the Noir, along with his wife, will be staying in my room. So we'd have to be cozy on the man-room floor anyway. It's your call. I will not feel bad if you can't come. I will feel bad if you don't haunt my comments box like gmail and never read this. :)

    I stalk your blog like a crazy sister-woman, so of course I will read this! I will probably come to LB on Saturday sometime. That way I can have dinner with my hubby and not sleep on a floor. Sorry...

Dear Nathaniel, I am microwaving pie that Mom bought up in Oak Glen this week on her way home from the orthodontist. As I put it in the microwave, I was full of sadness that I was not in Oak Glen with her. Why did I not go? I was working. I want to see the trees turn. I want to wander slowly through autumnal gift shops. Under the water, you cannot sense the approach of the seasons. Even here it is difficult because, after all, it's California. But I can still sense it. After three seasons in Illinois and one in Scotland, it must be with me for good. Or at least for a while. Because I am all abuzz with eagerness for fall and winter, for turkeys and dried leaves and Santa. I should start cooking again this fall. Fall foods are my favorite. Baked squash dripping with melted butter and brown sugar, pumpkin soup... this year, if I have enough money, I will put together a holiday dinner for my friends. And we will drink Scandinavian mulled wine, which is the most wonderful thing I have e...

Fontastic

One of the perpetual projects in my little publishing company's life is the development of our company logo. This is my favorite project, as it involves the use of fonts. And I am rather a font fanatic. I have spent the last few hours trolling dafont.com, which is a wonderful website of free and mostly-free fonts for personal and often commercial usage. Rather than download every font I like, I sketched out my own versions of each of them as they inspired me. I thought I'd share them with you here, and if any of my noble readers have preferences, feel free to shoot me a comment. I am hoping I have determined the font-of-choice by the time the new website is ready to go up. After all, what's a corporate website without a corporate logo? Here are some photos of my most recent selections.

Being a Baker

Working at the Main Library has surprising advantages. Just now I stepped out of my office, walked five paces across the hall, scanned a badge, and walked under the civic center plaza to the elevator that stretches from beneath the earth up to the mayor’s office on the fourteenth floor. I didn’t have so far to go—just up one level to the utilities counter, where a sympathetic, amused woman named Sue shut down my gas payments. It took less than five minutes. I finished packing up my kitchen days ago. My cake pans were in boxes sometime early last week. But as I walked through the underground loading dock on my way back to the office, I was distinctly aware of the finality of what I’d just done. I would never, from that moment on, be able to bake for anyone out of that kitchen. Maybe it doesn’t seem like a very big deal, but I’ve gotten a lot of mileage out of a certain identity, namely being “the person who bakes a lot”. I made a tiered wedding cake for some friends (because...
