My wife has had a jewelry shop on Etsy for a while now. It’s called Relly Rose Designs. She’s been going to art fairs as well, and expanding her jewelry making skills. She shoots for a shabby-chic, urban kind of design, and I think the results are fantastic. I like a lot of her things, [...]
You tell me…
Here’s a quote from Andrew Sullivan’s blog that echoes very closely what I’m feeling about President-elect Obama: Nothing in my life has actually changed in the 30 minutes since it was announced Obama will be our next president. I have the same bills, the same amount of money in the bank, my dishwasher is still [...]
Ironically, I sometimes don’t realize how much stress I’m internalizing about what we’re doing to this planet until something like this comes along: Solar-Power Breakthrough Researchers have made a major advance in inorganic chemistry that could lead to a cheap way to store energy from the sun. In so doing, they have solved one of [...]
For your viewing pleasure, I give you Al Gore’s Energy Crisis speech and challenge to the United States. You can find out more at www.wecansolveit.org.
If anyone has ever wondered what Stockholm looks like, well I have just the thing. I humbly submit to you the pictures I took (no captions, sorry) via this web album.
The time is approaching for the IGMS anthology, which includes my story, "In the Eyes of the Empress’s Cat," to be released. I found out something interesting while I was in Sweden recently. Kathleen Bellamy, Orson Scott Card’s assistant, called to ask how to say my last name. Apparently they’re coming out with an audio [...]
Wow. The June issue of Realms has a review already from The Fix Online, and it’s very complimentary of my story: “Lest our Passage be Forgotten” is full of surprise twists, courtly intrigue, and more. Beaulieu displays a skill at delving deep into the psyches of his characters to reveal the human condition and weaves [...]
My friend and fellow specfic author, Anton Strout, just launched his first little baby, er, book. It’s called Dead to Me, and in the words of Anton, if you like Joss Whedon, Douglas Adams, or Jim Butcher then you’ll love Dead to Me. If you’d like to find out more about the book, read my [...]
My story, "Lest Our Passage be Forgotten," has been pushed back one issue. It should now (hopefully) appear in the June issue of Realms, which should hit the newsstands in early April. I’ll definitely post again once I get confirmation. Word has it that the story has some killer artwork. Realms employs some of the [...]
My wife, Joanne, has started up a kickin’ new Etsy store to sell her jewelry. It’s called Relly Rose Designs. Take a look, and remember, Valentines is just around the corner. Here are a few pics of her earrings, all original designs:
I’ve been trying to keep track of both my LJ and my own blog comments for some time, and it has really become cumbersome. So, though I don’t like forcing people to my blog, I’m turning off the LJ comments. I hope this doesn’t keep all my friends from hopping on over to chat…
Which is interesting since I just went there last night for a Swell Season concert. I like Chicago – the night life, museums, theater – but I don’t think I would ever live there. What city are you? Your Score: CHICAGO! You scored 54% Style, 24% Climate, and 64% Culture! You are Chicago, Illinois. Chicago [...]
I have officially launched a cooking blog. This is something I’ve been pondering for a while, and finally decided to go ahead and bite the bullet. The site is pretty close to what its final incarnation is going to look like, so I wanted to spread the news a bit, have everyone look at it, [...]
From Relaneve – Ha…
What would I do if I became ruler of the world… Hmm. I guess I’d start with banning plastic bags and incandescent light bulbs and go from there. What supervillain are you? Your results: You are Lex Luthor Lex Luthor 60% The Joker 59% Dr. Doom 58% Mr. Freeze 54% Kingpin 50% Riddler 50% Green [...]
No, not really. In my novel. Man do I feel like an ass hole. It reminds me of the Michael Vick stuff this summer. Lots of attention paid to it, but there was a fair bit of recoil from people that noted that it got a lot more attention because of his celebrity and because [...]
Yay! I just got tickets to The Swell Season in Chicago! If you haven’t already seen it, I would highly recommend seeing the movie Once, which stars Glen Hansard of the Irish band, The Frames, and Marketa Irglova. The movie is a simple, slice of life film about a struggling musician in Ireland. He comes [...]
