Wiggle-worthy UBS loot

Saturday, July 30th, 2005

My local UBS seems to be run by blue-hairs, but I went to the UBS in the “Big City” this morning. *wiggle*
Merry Christmas, Baby—Brava anthology that I bought, lent out before I’d read it, and never got back.
A Date With the Other Side by Erin McCarthy—I felt badly about buying this one […]

Coming semi-unplugged

Friday, July 29th, 2005

Ugh. That’s like twice this week my site’s disappeared on me. That makes me less than happy. As does the radio-controlled Jeff Gordon go-cart that’s bounced off my ankle bone at least three times already this morning.
I’m not finding a great deal of good RWA gossip around the blogosphere, but the stuff […]

Starring Mapquest as the turnip

Thursday, July 28th, 2005

It’s one of the most melodramatic and enduring moments in film history: Scarlett O’Hara, waving a dirty turnip toward the dramatically-painted sky, shouting “As Gawd is maaah witness, I’ll nevah go hungry again!”
Yeah, well. As y’all is maaah witness, I will nevah write a roadtrip romance again. Timelines suck. Mine especially.
There are papers […]

Left behind

Wednesday, July 27th, 2005

By choice, though, I must say. I’m pretty shy with a very highly-developed inferiority complex and big-ass conferences like that are probably not my cup of tea. The only thing that makes me want to cry in my Wheaties is knowing that some of my friends will be there, hanging out, and I […]

AAR-less

Tuesday, July 26th, 2005

The Smart Bitches have a link to an interesting discussion going on over at AAR.
Can I check it out? No.
I’ve been AAR-less since getting my high-speed cable modem, which was…2 years ago, maybe? I can occasionally go in through the back door—from a cached, Googled page, but it’s rare. And […]

Squealing fangirl moment

Monday, July 25th, 2005

I just discovered, while visiting Riemannia, that Jennifer Crusie has a blog! It’s called Argh Ink.

Hot dayum! I hope she sticks with it.

It’s Monday already?

Monday, July 25th, 2005

Monday morning and I can’t think of a damn thing to say. Actually I’m pretty buried, and need one of those Unplugged graphics Alison has.
But absolutely go check out what Angie has to say today. Excellent post with somewhat frightening ramifications.
I’ve also been following an interesting conversation on one of the […]

Sniffing RT

Thursday, July 21st, 2005

Weird title, huh? Well, weird problem.
Anybody else’s Romantic Times smell funny?
I started noticing it about 3 or 4 months ago, and it’s consistent with each issue since. The pages smell like…old vegetable oil or something. I know I’m sensitive to smell (OMG, the perfume samples kill me), but it’s not my imagination. […]

What a day

Tuesday, July 19th, 2005

I swear today was a Garfield Monday and Friday the 13th all rolled into one. (Today…yesterday? I’m talking about Tuesday, which was today when I posted it, but probably at least yesterday when you read it.)
My computer’s giving me fits. Everything from Yahell booting me out at will to the computer […]
