Research Award Received!

/

Just thought all of you would like to know that I am officially a recipient of UC Santa Cruz’s Humanities Undergraduate Research Award (HUGRA)! It’s given out to ten people each year who propose an interesting topic. My topic was on a science fiction subject. I’ll post my proposal if anyone would like to see it. I’m really excited about this. For the next seven or so months I’ll be doing research! (Don’t click the read more, there isn’t any more after this!)

Inside the Blogosphere: Question #11 (I’m in it!)

/

Well, here it is! We were asked to recommend sf/f books we’ve read this year that we think would make good gifts. I suggested several small press books, because that’s what I mostly read anyway. What sf/f titles would you recommend as gifts for the Christmas season? (Don’t click the read more, there isn’t any more after this!)

Guest Bloggers Coming Up

/

Just a notice that there will be a few guest bloggers over the next few weeks (my friend Oscar and Peter; on and off and nothing too fancy). The primary reason is I want to free up a little time for myself to focus on studying for the GRE and getting my graduate school applications in order while making sure WISB remains active. My apologies for being a bit out of it and somewhat political over the last month or so, but this quarter is a difficult one. On a side note, I’m broke, so if you happen to love me and want to give me $10, go for it. Or don’t. Or, if you really love me, you can buy me a membership with the Science Fiction Research Association…or not. Up to you. Anywho! (Don’t click the read more, there isn’t any more after this!)

Veterans Day: Pay Your Respects

/

Because they deserve it. This is a day to give a little back to the men and women who defend this country with their lives every single day, who volunteer to be a part of that and die so we can have our freedoms. Remember that. Give a hug to a soldier today. It might help make the world look a little brighter. (Don’t click the read more, there isn’t any more after this!)
