My printer went to hell on me two weeks ago. All it will do is blink a green light at me. A friend of mine just bought a new printer for herself, because her old printer was giving her a blue screen and an error message. She asked me to help her set it up, which, after a little furniture rearranging so the cables were long enough, worked out just ( Read more... )

Note to self: Never again should I muse, publicly in a column or otherwise about writing a rock star character who is not all dark and brooding. The inspiration will come. Rock stars, being rock stars, get kind of demanding. Anything else, up to and including that novella you're trying to write, on a deadline, for an open submissions call will ( Read more... )

I was having a conversation with a friend of mine who asked me if I'd be going to see the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie. I admitted that, yes, I would be, but I was going to hate myself the whole time. He seemed surprised, then asked why. So, I explained about a very harsh truth I have discovered about myself ( Read more... )

My recovery is going well. I still can't drive for another couple of weeks, but I did go out and start Horatio. He fired right up and ran. Now, I just have to get the power steering fluid leak he developed fixed. I'm still feeling better than I have in months, even if I am still having to deal with some limitations.

Some days, it's just nice to be done with work for a weekend.  Today, I had a big project to do, which I got done, but it involved a lot of phone calls and e-mails and asking for information.  I had one guy that was just inexcusably rude to me-in fact, he hung up on me twice-all because I asked him for an e-mail address.  (The first time, he didn't ( Read more... )

JORDAN WOOLLEY MAY BE COMING BACK TO NETWORK TV!!! YAY!  He's fliming for a show on the CW right now.

So...um...I've been pretty lousy at posting anything but Sunday Scribblings posts here lately. I do realize that. I'll try to correct it, but it's going to take a while. In fact, I probably won't be returning to the regular schedule until after November. I'm participating in NaNoWriMo this year, once again, which will make this the fifth time that ( Read more... )
