Ted and I are going up to Dublin for PCon this weekend. I don’t even know if we’re bringing the laptop, much less whether we’ll have net access, so there may be radio silence til sometime Monday afternoon. I *am* bringing Gail Dayton‘s ETERNAL ROSE, 3rd book in her One Rose trilogy, which I get to read months ahead of schedule ’cause she asked me to blurb it. Ahahaha. Sometimes being a writer is very cool. :) I’ve *really* enjoyed the first two books in the series, and am rillyrilly…

Beauty and the Beast picoreview
It’s late, so I’m intending this to be only a very brief review of Beauty and the Beast, although I have a great deal to say about it and may get carried away. The very short version is, while I’m glad I went, it was an adequate performance of largely bad material, and as far as staging it is concerned, I would have done it *entirely* differently, just about from top to bottom.

So she borrowed the Dana, ’cause it’s much faster than handwriting all those records, and apparently numerous people at the library have admired it profusely. :) It’s a very nifty little tool. :) Ooh, Ted’s doing the yoga dvd. He’s a better person than I am. …*agh*. Okay, that is the *first* time I’ve ever seen a major news…

Well, I managed to stay offline until 3:30, anyway. :) Read a book–oh I *hate* that! About a third of the way through it, I started thinking, “Well, when are they going to bring the other character back in? They’ve got to do it fast if they’re going to wrap it up by the end of the book…” About halfway through it, I realized that they were *not* going to wrap this up by the end of the book, and checked: the author apparently intends to write 8 books, and…
