Hippo birdy two ewes!

Feb 18, 2008 20:28

So today is the day of the birth of the Mama of the Cleo! It is also her sister's (my aunt's) birthday. However, my aunt (her sister) is five years younger. Yeah... we don't really know how that happened, exactly. I mean, at least Sister Girl and I were born seven years and three days apart. Anyway, that's what I'm doing this evening: dinner, ( Read more... )

'Tis my papa's b-day, too! Happy birthday, old man, lol! He's 55, and is proud to be able to order off of the senior menu at Denny's now.

Hee, my mom's turning 55, too. She keeps saying that she's "two nickels."

That's adorable. Happy Birthday to the mama of Cleo!

Same thing with my dad an aunt - to the day, 10 years apart.

It's the kind of situation that makes you want to write a sci-fi/fantasy novel for the sole purpose of qualifying for the organization and joining it, so you can then resign from it in disgust.

Lots of us have written scifi/fantasy novels. We can't join SFWA because our novels haven't been bought by the qualifying markets, per membership requirements.

Just, y'know, trying to not promote the fallacy that once a writer types "the end", they then "have the book published". I am asked this all the time by adult professionals, often lawyers or teachers, who have no idea how publishing works.

I don't know why I was thinking "publish" and then said "write"; you're absolutely right.

When I was younger, I was friends with a girl whose brother was born exactly one year after her. I was fascinated by it back then and still am today.

Eminem almost starred in ‘Jumper.’ Okay, I actually would have paid to see that.

Pay to see it anyway. It will be the most wonderfully, fantastically stupid hour and ten minutes of your life.

Stay strange, Peter Greenaway!

Dear Cinematical Dude,

They speak SPANISH in Panama.

Yeah, I kind of looked askance at the Panama thing myself. Surely he was kidding? Surely?

Ehm... Sorry to butt in, but... well, I live in Panama myself, and we don't have gang wars here. And yes, we speak Spanish ( ... )
