Things To Check Out…

The first thing that you should apparently check out is the return of Jericho tonight! Dare I admit that I’ve never seen this show? *ducks while people throw peanuts* Didn’t people mail in peanuts to the studio to have the show come back on the air or am I just losing it? Anyway, I’m going [...]

Watership Down by Richard Adams

Watership Down was my last read for the Four Legged Friends Challenge and it had come to be last because I had been putting it off thinking that it wouldn’t be a favorite of mine or that it might be too drawn out at 476 pages. Trust me when I say that it ended up [...]

10 Ways To Tell A Book Was Written By Me

I was tagged for this Meme by Eva and since I wrote a book this past year for NaNoWriMo (A Sunset in Nowhere), I figured I’d make my answers applicable to that…so here they are:
1. It would be written in 30 days or less
2. It would be a fantasy (probably any book I wrote)
3. It’s [...]

Web Wanderings

I haven’t done a web wanderings post in AGES, but I used to love doing them…these are posts of fun things you find on the internet and think that others would find to be interesting as well. The majority of the things I’m posting today could be found on Neil Gaiman’s post from today, so [...]

Trying To Avoid Laziness

After yesterday’s bout of complete and utter laziness, I’m trying to stay active and accomplished today. So far, I’m succeeding…we’ll see if it lasts. Basically I laid in bed all day yesterday and read and watched TV again. Do this for two days in a row and you just start feeling depressed. I did however [...]

Happy Mardi Gras!

Happy Mardi Gras everyone! So far the weather’s holding up out here. It’s 75 degrees right now, humid as hell and overcast. The parades are rolling and it looks like everyone is having a great time. Here’s the link to the Bourbon Cam! It’s the webcam on Bourbon street that’s set up 24 hours. Lots [...]

Yep…it’s monday

Sorry, just couldn’t think of a more clever title than that for a post and it pretty much described my day. It consisted of mostly just laying around all day, reading, watching TV, playing video games and being a bum…just the way a Monday should be spent I’m almost finished reading the ARC of [...]

What A Day!

Apparently I have a horseshoe up my ass…so says my mom. I’m on a lucky streak! Lets start with the Super Bowl…My luck rubbed off on The Giants! Go Eli! I couldn’t be happier for Eli and the Giants…what a game, huh? It was so good to see the team that everyone thought would get [...]

Not Complaining This Year

I woke up to the most beautiful weather this morning. Anyone else getting in on this? It’s 58 degrees outside right now and sunny as can be. Today is Endymion - the biggest parade of the Mardi Gras season. Endymion is to many people, bigger than Mardi Gras day itself…Mardi Gras day is almost more [...]

The Stainless Steel Rat Saves The World by Harry Harrison

This is going to end my affair with the Stainless Steel Rat for a little while…at least for a few books. I’ll probably be back for one or two more adventures by the end of February though It’s hard to stay away from these - they’re so much fun! was probably my least [...]
