Filmclip of the Week goes to Dizzee Rascal & Calvin Harris’s “Dance wiv Me”, because it’s so nice to hear Mr Harris again. Wonder when his second album will be released, because I Created Disco is super-fun 🙂
Chanukah in the City was yesterday, but I didn’t go. But I did go in the past. See my photos here and get down to Jew’Town 😉
Me wanna go to this. What are you doing on Friday Feb 8? Hopefully merrymaking 😉
Ooh! More website visitors from:
*Edmonton, Alberta (Andy, is that you?)
*Horsham, West Sussex (as opposed to Horsham in Victoria where Strauchanie is from)
I prefer Calvin Harris’s “Love for You” (the B-side on the single) to “Acceptable in the ’80s”. It’s just gorgeous 🙂
I’m concerned for my cat’s intellect: I caught him eating his own vomit the other night. Really. Because the vomit was in the (empty) bath, and he was in the bath eating it up. And his food dish was in its usual spot next to the shower. Oh dear…
I’ve realised a problem with my writing: my novels are short (circa 70,000), but my synopses are long (at least 900 words). Me thinks synopses should be shorter, but does anyone know the roundabout word count I should aim for?
Also, I need help with Blogspot HTML, because I want my sidebars to have wordcount meters, and lists of websites and blogs, and books I’ve read, and music I’ve listened to. How do I all this? I tried copying and pasting, but the headings don’t show up. Check out my Blogspot, and see if you can help, please. Much appreciated.
Now, for author pimpage of those on my LJ Mutual Friends List. Let’s meet them:
Jeaniene Frost: Writes urban fantasy. She gave away Halfway to the Grave cover flats, and I have one 🙂 Buy Halfway to the Grave on Nov 1 2007.
Mark Henry: Writes urban fantasy. With zombies. I mean, zombies are in the novel; they didn’t assist with writing – and if they did, MH didn’t give credit where credit was due 😉 Buy Happy Hour of the Damned in March 2008. (Sorry, I don’t have the exact date because it’s not listed on Amazon yet.)
December Quinn/Stacia Kane: DQ writes erotica; SK writes urban fantasy. Buy Personal Demons on April 1, 2008.
Let it be known that Mark and Stacia are also part of an elite five-person group blog, League of Reluctant Adults. (Here’s hoping I’ve got the link right.) Basically it’s a group of urban fantasy writers who understand the importance of humour. They think they’re reluctant adults? Dude, I don’t have a job 😉 Entries so far have been written by Anton Strout, Stacia and Mark. Don’t be surprised if I pimp the blog regularly – it may be the only chance I have to win free stuff, and you know I love presents 😉
And heads up, Mark: Guess who’s playing Sharon’s sister, Karen, on this week’s Kath & Kim? Have a squizz here.
| You Should Play the Guitar |
 You’re very independent – both in spirit and in the way you learn. You can teach yourself almost anything, even if it makes your fingers bleed. You’re not really the type to sit patiently through a music lesson – or do things by the book. Highly creative and a bit eclectic, you need a wide range of music to play. Your dominant personality characteristic: being rebellious Your secondary personality characteristic: tenacity |
