A Legend Has Passed Away

Octavia Butler

R.I.P.

(June 22, 1947 - February 24, 2006)

I don't know if you have ever read science fiction, but if you love literature, her oeuvre is to be cherished. I loved her works for her imagination, how she grappled with real issues, and her hopeful view of humanity despite our own cruelty.

She will greatly be missed.

Bugger this.

I'll still try to post, but this isn't my strength. I need to work on posting, etc. I have no spine.

Um, what do I talk about? Dancing with the stars and how Drew's partner is one bad bleach job from looking like a ganguro?
What I do for fun? Knit and read.

Oh, I'm so boring.

Just in time for V-Day

All kudos go to AICN.

I'm back from my sickbed. I was out of commission due to the flu.
