The postponed inanity

Friday, May 30th, 2008

Anybody else notice this press release? (bolding mine):
At Berkley, Editorial Director Susan Allison signed up three more Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter novels from Laurell K. Hamilton—the #1 bestselling author credited with starting the genre of paranormal fiction. North American hard/soft rights were brokered by Merrilee Heifetz at Writers House in a major 7-figure deal. The [...]

Cats and dogs

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Menacing, isn’t she?

Good thing my cats are experts at blending in and becoming invisible.

(I feel a need to explain the grubbiness of the sheet Jinx’s cloaking device—it separates the hallway from the currently-being-remodeled bathroom.)

Here there be bad words—a lot of them

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

I had a rather inane post planned for today, which is now postponed. (Lucky you, you know the inanity is coming tomorrow. Is inanity a word? I don’t know. It is now.)
Anyway, now that the reverberation in my skull from my head exploding has faded just enough to allow my brain to fire signals [...]

Randomania

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

This puppy isn’t happy unless some part of her body is in contact with some part of my body—generally her ass on my feet—and she can cause quite a ruckus if I leave her sight.
:gaah:
The Celtics are interfering with my TV schedule and causing a DVR overload, but we’re starting to catch up on [...]

In the category of…

Monday, May 26th, 2008

…what the hell was I thinking, meet the newest member of the Stacey family, 3-month Shih Tsu puppy “Mini”:

My cats are pissed!
I’ll be catching up tomorrow. Tonight I am trying to keep all furry factions at peace.

David Cook fronting ZZ Top?

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

Orgasms were had by all.
(Well, maybe not all, but certainly by me.)
We’re on DVR-delay, so I must avoid the ‘net from here on out, but OMG, I’m still panting.

Pondering the Mind of the Non-Writer

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

Recently the husband brought up once again the time I slid my ATV into the snowbank and I had to explain once again I must have gotten too comfortable, forgot I was on snow and was writing dialogue in my head.
Then suddenly I wondered—and asked him—what do people who don’t write think about all the [...]

American Idol: Cook vs. Archuleta

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

Note to producers: The boxing thing? Stupid. And I like boxing.
Round 1: (Cook: “Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” by U2/Archuleta: “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me” by Elton John) Both songs I love and you both sang the hell out of them. Despite my Cook-loving bias, I [...]

Short kid down and new reviews

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

So I’ve got a sick short kid on my hands. He’s…well, let’s just say my life is gross at the moment and leave it at that. So far today he seems quiet but less disgusting. I don’t know if he’ll meet my personal “24 hours and 3 square meals” standard and make it to school [...]

Home again

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

A blast was had by all. It’s been dry so there was a lot more dust than mud, but it was nice to get out on the trail. Now, of course, I have to catch up at home, but here’s my favorite picture from the weekend. Our fellow campers were having trouble with their [...]
