various and sundry on a Sunday
Jan. 22nd, 2006 10:20 amTylenol PM is an elephant tranq shaped down for the people-sized. Just sayin'....
------------
An amusment, via Walter Jon Williams -- "Are you a proper Victorian?". I am somewhat embarrassed to admit that I got a perfect score.
------------
After not one, but three emergency food-related Q&As this weekend, it has been determined that my future cooking show will be a cross between Food 911 and Suze Ormond's call-in money show.
"suri, hi! This is Patsy. I have ten people coming to dinner next weekend, after going to a party somewhere else -- what can I serve them, after they've already gorged themslves on appetizers before?"
"hi Patsy. How did you get wrangled into agreeing to that? Anyway, here's what you do..."
------------
The knee still hurts like a great ole' hurting thing, but less than yesterday which was less than Friday. This is of the good.
------------
In writing news, the New Project, plus another Surprise Project, are launched into the cold, hopefully caring world. Keep your fingers crossed and candles lit for their well-being and eventual fame and fortune, folk,
And the chapter breakdown of Retrievers 4 is complete, with forces closing in on several title choices. I still love my first one, but in order to keep it I'd have to break my editor's will to mine, and I somehow don't think that's going to happen (one of the reasons we get along so well is that we're well-matched on the stubbornness side).
So, today I put on my d.y.m.k. hat, and go a'editing, yo ho ho and but why is the rum all gone?
