god I hate email

Sunday Post

So I'm keeping this as a "Sunday Post" even though it's going up on Monday...I wrote most of it yesterday, so it still counts. Yeah.

Skyla News:

* Inbox got up to like 340 again. Cue nervous breakdown. Then the minion came (what--you don't have a minion?) and she took on some of my inbox while I took on the longer, more complicated answers.

Now look!

This makes me ever so happy.

* Also, I put up the shelf (that fell and could have killed me in my sleep) again all by myself. I'm still sleeping on the other side of the bed AWAY from it, though.

* Saturday, I saw New Moon. I'm trying to think of a worse movie, but I can't. Even Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter was better (because it had a) bad kung fu, b) a Mexican wrestler, and c) vampires that killed people rather than sparkled, which all makes it better). The LOLCat version was totally apt and if you read it, you don't need to see that dreadful film ever.

* I got a lovely review for Wolfe from Bitten by Books - Five Tombstones. "Well written with very defined characters, the series is very compelling and captivating, so much so that I find myself somewhat curious about Ms. Cameron’s background and if she’s hiding any secrets about herself." read more

Yes, I'm secretly a werewolf. ;-)

No, you know what it is? Why I could get in River's head so easily? Because even if I'm not secretly a wolf-turned-human, I've always felt like an outsider looking at humanity. River is just that to the extreme.

Some other linkage:

* Michelle on getting good at eating.

* Lili on having a room of one's own, and the will to write. I was an only child, so I did become accustomed to writing in a space by myself, but throughout school as a teen, I did learn to write anywhere. I wrote on my old laptop while I was babysitting, I wrote in class during lessons (probably why I failed nearly everything). The room of my own had to be in my head--it was the only place others couldn't tread. So I would stick on headphones, go into that little room, and write regardless of the distractions around me.

* Kate Harding on Women's Fiction.

* A Happy Meal hasn't decomposed...in a year. Ewwww. This is why I don't eat that kind of crap.

* "Nowhere in the bible did Jesus have a sword fight." (Some more fun from David Thorne.)

* xkcd on "Porn for Women".

* Oh yeah (going through my Twitter feed): I made Jill Kismet fan art last week.

* The Future of Publishing

Finally...I was at a friend's place working on Wednesday and I found (and scanned) an old photo of me 'cause, like, that's just the thing to do--post embarrassing old photos. So here's thirteen year old Skyla...clearly it's the mid-90's. I mean, THE HAT.
