In the Void

Husband has started watching Supernatural, so we may start in on that series. Target currently has Season 1 and Season 3 on sale. Why not 2? Hmmmm...

67% done on rewrite.

As pertains to yesterday's post:
Yes, I do think that Jeremy Brett is a better Holmes than Rupert Everett. There, I've said it.

Got over the awkward-scene hump, I'm on page 207/510 on DitD. The new scene changes a lot of things from here out, though, so I'm going to have to do extra work on the last 300 pages.

So far I'm still at a 5/5 on reviews on Amazon. I hope that continues to be the case.

Today is cheat day, so pizza tonight. We're thinking Papa John's.

The Hugo noms are up, making me sad that I'm not going to be able to vote. “26 Monkeys, Also the Abyss” by Kij Johnson (Asimov’s Jul 2008) is on the short story list and as much as I like the other noms, I do hope Kij finishes the night with that award in her hands. ;o)

Admitedly, I don't have a lot of knowledge about the other categories, and I haven't read any of the nominated novels (oops!).

But then there's the Campbell Award for Best New Writer. An awful lot of people are eligible for this every year (many of whom don't even realize it), far more than show up on the official 'eligibles' page. However, I don't think that they could have picked better nominees. It's going to be tough, particularly with the split between short-story people and novelists. I'm pulling for aliettedb or wistling to win. ::fingers crossed::

1) The Campbell Eligibility Page is now UP at Writertopia, and I'm on it...along with a lot of other really good people. ;o)
I haven't, however, been able to access the profile, yet, so it only has the one story listed on the bibliography. I hope to get around to that soon. I also noted that there are a lot of peopleI know who are eligible who havent' put their names on the list.

2) Happy BD to mkhobson. May the next year not have the pains of the last.

3) Story in, story back out...the circle of life.

4) I found Blood Oranges (Moros) at one of the local grocery stores. They're very tart and small. I expect bigger ones later.

5) I've started reading The Lone Star Stories Reader, and the first story is "Wolf Night" by Martha Wells. I've read this one a few times before and I also put it in one of my Anthology Builder anthologies, but I still enjoy reading it, which is why I didn't skip over. Best line:
He had never had a woman hit anybody with an axe for him before, and it had quite turned his head.
Subtle and funny, very nice ;o)

6) Finished Iron Shoes at 36.5K. Will think about it for a while, and then start sending it out.

displacedtexan and I took Mr. Loki to the park after church today. WHen we got there, 72 degrees. When we left, 58 degrees. The high tomorrow is supposed to be 25 degrees.

My forced amaryllises are getting into the Christmas spirit.

Good timing, guys!

We watched Hogfather last night. I really don't read humor well. For some reason, I have trouble finding funny books funny. But funny movies? That I can do. ;o)

OTOH, for anyone familiar with both Facebook and Pride and Prejudice, I gacked this link from janni. So funny!

Stay warm, everyone!

1) It would appear the WOTF24 is NOT being released today, despite Amazon's claim to the contrary. Someone at WOTF mentioned 'October' to me the other day...so perhaps....

2) A lot of people chimed into the REJECTION POLL yesterday. Other that wishing I'd set it up as 'answer as many as appropriate', people gave me a lot of mature and thought-provoking answers. ( more on this under the cut )

3) From the so-factual horoscope today: You may find it hard to deal with people today, since they may be a bit spacey in general. No, seriously?

::rolls eyes::

4) Got 3K written last night, watched Dark City. Never seen it before, interesting.

5) Seriously laughed this week-end when we watched The Road Warrior. In the end credits it says the 'warrior woman' was played by Virginia Hey.

Me: Wow, I didn't recognize her. She had eyebrows.
Husband: And she wasn't blue...and she had hair...

I guess I shouldn't feel too bad then.

6) Gonna go make pillowcases.
