My brain is mush.
Sorry I've been gone, but at work I got the 13mo old and he is teething- but only at night 🙂 joy, and he is super cute and sweet, but I haven't had a good nights sleep in over a week and I'm so not used to functioning at this level. I do find it fascinating how quickly everything ha degraded. My self talk is awful, I don't care what I eat, I'm depressed all because I'm being woken up several times during the night. So when people say important sleep is, they mean it! Oh and to top it off, the...
Writers Have a Special Brain
So just now I had a moment of sheer and utter panic, and I am sharing it with you because: 1. Everyone is fine and 2. Those of you who are writers can pass this onto non-writers so they understand us better. My dear friend and editor Kilian was supposed to come and pick me up about 10:30 so we could go to Mary’s house for critique group at 11:00. She normally calls to let me know when she leaves her house—mostly because I’m always running late. So, no call. Hmmm. Maybe she is running late, or...
Fandom Retirement Homes
Someday we will all get old, our brains will turn into mush and we will live in the past. Some lucky people will live in their own past, but for those of us with dysfunctional, obsessive, active fandoms what if we live in our stories? They will need to make fandom themed retirement homes. Supernatural “Yes, Dean, we had the orderlies salt all the windows and doorways.” “Sam, the priest will be here in thirty minutes to bless all the water. Yes, even in your water guns.” “Ellen put the camera...
I’m Invisible My Daughter Can Now Date
There is a new kit from Optics Planet, the Invisible Man kit. They say it is great for hunting, hide-n-seek and dating. But I think they are missing a valuable marketing tool, although it would make for a truly epic game of hide-n-seek. I saw this kit and the first thought I had was Thank goodness. I can now hide from my children while still keeping an eye on them. Just pop on that ghillie suit and you can watch the kids play in the backyard and eat your favorite treat without children trying...
Two Things That Have Helped Me So Much!
As a rule I bounce between being a gung ho, do everything perfectly, type-A person, and a lazy, whiny, couch potato. But I have finally found a solution! Now this might not work for everyone, but I wanted to share the two posts that for the past six weeks have kept me focused, goal oriented, and getting the things done that are important to me. The first is this post by Kristen Lamb. She talks about ADD and writing, and there a bunch of funny and useful information, but the one that hit home...

Sesame Street Stars
No I did not spend the past hour on youtube watching video of stars on Sesame Street why do you ask? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-ZQyeuUd_k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rh9BVFQTJRU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_1Rt1R4xbM How is your favorite Sesame Street Guest Star?
Need a Dose of Sherlock Holmes?
As we wail and languish in fangirl purgatory waiting for Sherlock to come back we have a wealth of past Sherlock Holmes movies and shows to keep our addiction at bay. I just finished watching With Out A Clue a wonderfully funny Sherlock Holmes mystery filmed in 1988. Michael Caine plays Sherlock and Ben Kingsley plays Doctor Watson. Dr. Watson is the brilliant deductive mind and Holmes reminds me of Inspector Clouseau. Do you have favorite Sherlock Holmes? Well other than Sherlock 🙂
Trying to be nice to hubby and he scares the crap out of me
So yesterday on woot.com they have this cool video camera that is ideal for paranormal research. It does night vision, and it’s small, has a stand, also films in regular non-night vision and has all sorts of fancy words and letters and numbers attached to it, so I’m sure it’s a great find. I tell my hubby who I think is going to be happy- he would love to do paranormal research. And this is what he does to me. Me- “Look, my dearest most beloved husband ever, look upon the treasure I found for...
