Long-delayed updates

(I've had this drafted for several days and somehow just never posted it--as an upfront update, got a good amount of work done today on both the book and the short story, so that was a good time, and I am gradually flailing towards having another short fun piece somewhere

Kevin's shark jokes just made me actually LOL.

I tucked those away forever ago, knowing... someday... I would need them.

A friend of mine changed her name when she got married because it's a "free" name change, but she didn't take her husband's last name, she took the maiden name of a maternal grandmother that she admired. It confused some people, but I think it was a really cool approach. And, you could, you know, change your last name to Sharkkiller no matter who you married. :)

Heh, true. I kind of did an end run around the whole thing by just going with "Cleolinda Jones." I mean, I like my real name and it's (also) very much me, but in terms of changing your name--that's one way to do it, I guess.

P.S. It's Sunday night. You need this.

Turns out I totally did. Thank you.

I definitely needed it after two hours of reading an old Reddit thread about kids saying creepy things and people's various experiences with night terrors.

Ooh, got links to those by any chance? Relevant to my interests!

I actually enjoyed Reign. It was ridiculous, but it reminded me of Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette (except, you know, the CW version), with the mix of historical and modern-day names and clothing and music. Plus, one of the actors described it as "historical fan fiction" and "fantasy history," and how can you not love that? I have a feeling it's going to be very much Gossip Girl in period costumes, and I'm in... at least for the first season.
