And it is here. Keep in mind that this isn't the entire spring line, but still, I was hoping to see an Eowyn; no luck. And no preview of the Marvel character figures, either. Instead, what we got was... well.

The Vampire Diaries: Tonner Ian Somerhalder. This is a thing that's happening. ( Read more... )

From Saturday: New Secret Life of Dolls, in which a sparklepire finds out exactly for whom the bell tolls. Looking at my calendar, I'm thinking we'll have the next installment on Saturday (as usual), and then we'll skip the next week, because that's Harry Potter and I have a podcast to do on Saturday and I don't think anyone will be paying ( Read more... )

THERE ARE NEW TONNERS UP

Harry Potter: 17" Dumbledore (Richard Harris likeness, which is probably the more... dignified... one, but I would kind of love to see what they would do with a Gambledore). Note: this is not the original Harry Potter oversized scale; this is back to the regular Tonner scale. Which explains why they're doing another ( Read more... )

Internets, I am not feeling so good. Just sinus blarg and a low fever, but I have been sleeping a lot. So that's where I've been.

Two bits of writerly advice:

@ victoriastrauss: Agent Andrew Lownie on how to blow your chances in the first line of your email.

@ MaryRobinette: Debut Author Lessons: 10 things about signing books.Linkspam: movie news ( Read more... )

Attn: peoples of the internet: Twilight just got creepier. Yes, somehow. tiljaunique has shown up with some trufax that will change EVERYTHING YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW ABOUT BREAKING DAWN. Well, no--actually, it won't, because we all know it's hilarrible, and that's not going anywhere. BUT: ( SPOILER: NAHUEL IS A SEA MONSTER )

1) The United Airlines debacle: As of this writing, they have gotten in touch with evilpuppy, given her the number of a representative to call, and seem to be taking this seriously. I'll update you more fully once the dust settles on that; I'm in a wait-and-see mode at this point. Y'all's comments from yesterday are an eye-opener, though.

2) I posted Clash ( Read more... )

Clash of the Titans in Fifteen Minutes, which We Were Not Speaking Of! And it only took me, uh, NINE DAYS. Given my times on the last four or five 15Ms, I think I'm just going to have to accept that that's how long it takes--a week, more or less--and just come to terms with it.

I mention Eclipse above the cut, because I know people will ask for ( Read more... )

So! Titans are clashing very slowly for a number of reasons, one of them being that I keep getting air pressure headaches from the changeable weather, because apparently I'm one of those Old Folks who creeps around complaining about how their knee's tellin' 'em it's gonna rain. But it rained LIKE HELL last night--so hard it actually woke me up--so ( Read more... )

So let's talk about the last few days: ( Everything broke, Mom needs a new knee, and also, I saw a movie )

So... The Werewolf Book is... not turning out well. I'm gonna read the whole thing because I paid for it, dammit, but it's not my top reading priority anymore. ( Jack the Ripper is! )
