isabelswift 's Advice on what to do when you are at the airport and discover your flight has been delayed, and Advice to young writers, cunningly disguised as a Lesson in Cocktail-making: A Twist of Lemon
tithenai on the Teasing Threshold (and Safe Words thereunto)
deliasherman 's reviews of every play we've seen lately, plus that Census meme
and finally (pasted fromtime_shark , because why try to improve upon perfection?)
From Erzebet YellowBoy and Papaveria Press:
All proceeds from sales received through the Papaveria website from Monday, 14 March through whenever will be donated to Doctors Without Borders. Nicole Kornher-Stace is also donating all royalties from the sale of The Winter Triptych to the same. Read her announcement here.
Today is my mother's birthday: the Ides of March - and yes, she's already gotten that card from me. More than once. At the age of (now) 81, she flew down to Sarasota today to start combing the fancy GoodWill shops for furniture for the condo she & my dad just bought down there. I think by now she has even forgiven me for asking her once, when I was very small, "Mom? Were you born in one of those 'hundreds' years? Like... nineteen-hundred?"
(It may have been shortly after that that my dad decided to teach me the noble game of Cribbage - so that I would learn how to count!)
