Today would be the perfect day to whine. Right at this moment, I be watching Jonny Lang performing in New York. But I'm not. Because I've got a stupid job interview for a stupid copyediting position tomorrow in stupid Colchester. The problems with this scenario are legion: I really like Jonny Lang, and hanging out with Laura and Carrie. And I ( Read more... )

Why yes, ham salad ;) And I don't even mean it in some classy British way--I'm talking chopped up ham with mayo and maybe some celery or something. It could be a trashy French Canadian thing, but you can get it at most sandwich places around here. ::yum::

Ooh, I need to check out that Lackey book. I've been obsessed with her books since the age of 12 or so, as well, thanks to my grandmother and her habit of pushing fantasy novels on me every time I visited.

I just finished the Lackey book this morning, and still recommend it. 'Tis a fun read, even if it feels a bit stitched together: The first part is very fantasy-esque, and the second part is very trashy romance novel-esque. Not that I mind either, but it's as if Lackey realized on page 250 that she just might sell the manuscript to Harlequin, so wanted to sex it up.

Did you read her Arrows of the Queen books? They were my first foray into fantasy, and even more than ten years later I can't recap their plot without weeping openly ;) I always thought Hanson should star in a movie version--Taylor as Chris, Ike as Dirk, and Zac as Skif. (I'll be Talia. Teehee.)

I'd like to tell you that you didn't miss anything last night but... well, it's Jonny we're talking about so we all know that would be a lie. But I'm really sad you couldn't make it and I'm sorry we couldn't find anyone to go! I'm going to email you because I have some strong opinions on this whole interview business and crossroads of life you're at and clearly you should listen to me. :-)

Have you heard Jason Mraz's version of Summer Breeze? Mmm....If not, I'll need to find a way to get it to you.

Cheers,
Kate

Ohh...thanks for the tip about this cover! I just downloaded it through LimeWire, and am quite impressed. It's like a different song in his hands--a good song, but a different one.

(And now I'm uncontrollably downloading other covers. Who knew that John Mayer did Piano Man live?!!?!)
