Twitter Takeover with YEM
So, hey. Tomorrow (Aug. 29) I’m going to be taking over Young Entertainment Magazine’s Twitter account for two hours between 2-4pm EST. That’s 8-10pm Swedish time. Which is totally past my bedtime and interferes with my watching Star Trek the Next Generation episodes for the billionth time. But I guess you’ve got to make sacrifices sometimes, right?

Hazel and Holly is Out in the World
I don’t know about you, but for me it feels like this book has been “coming soon” for basically forever. But now it’s finally here! Hazel and Holly are out in the world causing mischief and mayhem with their wild and witchy ways. I can’t really express how happy this makes me.
Military Balloon Joy (and H&H News)
So I found this article a while ago about the first woman pilot balloonist, Sophie Blanchard of the late 18th century. And while it was interesting learning about such a unique woman (even though things didn’t go well for her), honestly the part that stood out to me the most was the part about Napolean.

A New Year and New Hazel and Holly Update
Happy New Year! Another circuit around the sun done and dusted. I’m not sure what it says about me when I’m feeling like it’s an accomplishment to, you know, still exist.

And I made it to, what, “E”? Ha! Talk about best laid plans. I am planning on continuing it though, because I do have fun with it. Hopefully in 2019 I can get back into a rhythm that works for me.

Headaches and Box-Climbing Cats
Greetings from Stockholm’s finest Hidey Hole!
Also known as my apartment that is currently going through “changes.” Which is my creepy and perhaps inappropriate way of saying we’re renovating. Given that we’re hoping to move sooner rather than later, we figured it was high time to fix the apartment’s problems that we’ve been putting off for basically forever. Mostly some smaller jobs here and there, but the more disruptive bits involve repainting the spare room and tearing out the hallway closets and replacing them with new closets that have decidedly less ’60s retro flare.
