HEY YOU GUYS I WAS IDLY WATCHING THE CREDITS WAITING ON THE PREVIEW FOR NEXT WEEK AND I SAW MY COUSIN'S NAME! TRUFAX. You know, my mother's cousin the set decorator, the one who did Van Helsing ! (And House !) I didn't see her listed on the True Blood IMDB page so I thought maybe she'd ended up not doing the show, but she DID! She was totally on ( Read more... )

Y'all, I am seriously beginning to think that my productivity is affected by barometric pressure. I spent three rainy days feeling like a slug, and now it's gorgeous outside and I feel great. Or maybe lack of sunlight chagrins my dazzle? I don't know. I'd like my dazzle to be more consistent, though.

(I should note here that the fine people at ( Read more... )

I got my hair did, I got my ha~air did! God, I feel human again. Also, I was up fairly late last night recording a podcast with some fine folks (I'll let you know more about that when it's available for download), so I did spend much of the afternoon asleep under a hairdryer.

Linkspam! ( what the hell is this Piccolo thing )

I wasn't in a bad mood, exactly, but I haven't had the best day (tension headache, tension in my jaw, the realization that the premature grey/white hairs are spreading and not forming a Rogue streak). And then somewhere along the way, we had a sudden rainstorm and then I got into a much chattier mood, as evidenced by all the commentary below. Maybe ( Read more... )

So: Still anxious, jittery, and unhungry, but either it's easing up a tad or I'm getting used to it. I've been burning a lot of scented candles (usually something fruity or tropical) in a fragrant attempt at stress management, spending more time in the sun, that kind of thing. Oh, and the mouse disappeared for a night, then reappeared yesterday ( Read more... )

Okay, I have a date with Prince Caspian tonight, so here's a backlog of linkspam accumulated while I lost my mind over the first two Twilight books: ( Only the good stuff )

A couple of things I wanted to talk about--first of all, crime. Local crime. Times is hard, and it's getting a little scary out there. My parents were at Publix doing the weekly grocery shopping last weekend, and there was, like, a gang rumble in the parking lot while they were getting into the car. Like, groups of people chasing each other around ( Read more... )

Belated reader links:

From my college friend Marcus (we stayed with him on the New Orleans trip, remember?): "Here's one for your linkspam I would appreciate being included. Because I'm awesome and because I think your readers would dig Hemon and his writing. Anyway, here's the link: it's an interview I did with Chicago-based writer Aleksandar ( Read more... )
