I hang out at this online writer’s forum called Forward Motion. There’s an e-zine called Vision associated with this forum, and the theme for the May/June is “Openings”. I’m the featured interview for May/June. :) I’m really pretty excited about this. FM’s got a lot of readers and Vision’s got a pretty good circulation (if that’s what you call it for an e-zine!) and I think it’s really neat to be able to do this kind of thing to publicize my first book. I had a lot of fun doing…

weekendy catchup
Jai and Tori and I did the Heart Walk thing yesterday, which was really a lot of fun. It was absolutely gorgeous out, and to Jai and my amazement, Tori did the whole 5km walk without a word of complaint. The second half of it we had her running up to check points ahead of us so she could wait for us, which gave her a chance to show off and escape the parental yoke of oppression all at once, so it worked very well. We had a really good…
hoopy frood
We have just returned from seeing the HHGTTG movie. Overall, I was really very happy with it. There’s lots straight from the books, and plenty of laugh-out-loud bits, and despite Marvin looking and sounding all wrong, he was actually quite perfect (unlike Zaphod, whose heads and third arm they really did screw up. For ease of filming, yeah yeah yeah I see why they did it, but eh, I would not have done Zaphod the way they did in many aspects. Nonetheless, I can’t say he wasn’t pretty Zaphod-like.) Arthur…
today
Today I have read three books. This is not very much like writing, or playing outside, but my God it was satisfying. So there. :) Except, argh. I re-read this book, LOOKING FOR THE MAHDI, which is really quite good, because the word “copacetic” is used twice in the book and I couldn’t remember who’d used it the first time and there’s sort of a reveal at the end when it’s used again so I wanted to know who’d said it first, nor could I find it in the skimming…
briefly here
I didn’t mean to log on this morning, but I had to order food for wretched Zilli, so since I was here I thought I’d make a quick journal entry. :) Yesterday was pretty much a wash, writing-wise. Got maybe 5 or 600 words done. Tired, tired me. Did too much EXERMACIZIN’ on Wednesday. Although, y’know, really, going outside to play doesn’t seem very much like exermacizin’. Gotta say, I have a great deal more sympathy for my Mom’s “Go outside and play, it’s a beautiful day!” when we were…
