yeah I know. Work is hell. Like really and honestly hell. BUT
Prehistoric Planet is coming to Apple TV and I cannot WAIT.



We owned and watched, over and over and over, walking with dinosaurs, chased by dinosaurs, chased by sea monsters, Prehistoric Park, and When Dinosaurs Roamed America.  All awesome.  this will be epic.
Also Kenobi is coming.  I'm so so busy and everything is awful but I may have to take blood pressure meds to get through these two epic events.

I had seen this in my io9 feed, and [livejournal.com profile] lady_songsmith brought it to my attention that the American Museum of Natural History is hosting an online briefing today at 12:30 PM Eastern Time, US, to discuss research into the nature and color of feathers on Microraptor, a pigeon-sized, 4 winged dinosaur from 130 million years ago. You can read about the webchat and research here.



So very, very cool.

Hello out there! A few things! First, sign ups for the Narnia Big Bang are underway! Only 10,000 words! or 20,000 words! And Artists! yes, please the Big Bang needs those who are good with art in whatever format -- fanmix, icons, drawing, digital, etc. etc. So, go! Sign up! Narnia Big Bang.

On the subject of writing, I am, having peppered [livejournal.com profile] l_a_r_m regarding what Richard Russell looks like post hospital stay. (Really, I have no idea).  Clio has been helping with Jill.  I am, oddly, writing the events immediately post-Silver Chair for the third time -- once in a draft that didn't survive the decision to abandon the initial outline and write TQSiT, a second time for Under Cover, and now this time.  I'm over 10,000 words in and it's going pretty well. My latest issue has been what I could lop off and do for the Narnia Big Bang -- which I really want to do. It's all overwhelming and daunting, and I'm feeling the failure acutely. I also recently saw a tattoo on a woman that said, "You're doing it wrong" and have considered that very appropriate given some of the latest.  Why do people always add the "but"?

In really, really exciting news, that I just saw via Twitter, the Royal Society has just made all its articles available online for free that are over 70 years old, going back to 1665, including Benjamin Franklin's kite experiment, Isaac Newton's first paper and Thomas Huxley's paper Remarks upon Archaopteryx lithographica which I cited in TSG.

We’re all fine here. For the first time since 1995, we did not lose power during a major weather event. Thank you for the good wishes.

Because I could not resist and I now ship Peter and a camel.

Peter had a love-hate relationship with camels )
