lauraanne_gilmanConfirmation: contracts have arrived and payment made, so I can confirm that my story "Clean Up Your Room" will be translated and available on Podgeschichten, a German podcast site. There are so many ironies in this I am afraid to walk near a magnet, but it delights me nonetheless. All this from an anthology that was born when I snarfed a gin & tonic at MagicCon lo these many many years ago...
Meanwhile, I, and the opening chapters of BLOOD FROM STONE, have been CGAG'd. It didn't even hurt. Much. Good comments, and apparently yes, this will be a good book for newcomers to jump into the series. Yay! Side question: Are there writers groups out there that meet without the aid of either food or booze? If so, why?
Random TV-ness:
Love, love, love 'Pushing Daisies.' Yes, it's silly. But also surreal and sweet and ironic all at once. Killer combination. There's no one moment I can pick out -- it's just all...nice. In the non-sarcastic, non-derogatory sense of the word.
'Bionic Woman' is still keeping me amused, mainly because the writers are clearly having fun. "And don't even get me started on how objectifying this whole 'bionic woman' thing is." The crazy people really do get all the best lines on this show.
and 'Life' is still enchanting, especially with the partnership gelling.
"are you really zen?"
"zen-ish."
and the bit about the fence was just...yeah. Lovely.
In other news, there is no other news. *is patient. mostly*
