girlfriends’ cyber circuit

A month or so ago I got the opportunity to join the Girlfriends’ Cyber Circuit, a blog-related promotional tour for other women writers. With not having net access, I’ve utterly failed my GCC roll so far, but now, finally, I’ve gotten my act together to promote the first of what will be several GCC tours as a catch-up, and then which will be a once or twice a week thing going on. So, without further ado, may I introduce THE MANOLO MATRIX, by Julie Kenner! Aspiring actress Jennifer Crane knows…

stats, feb 13

Target points: 22 Points used: 28 Activity points earned/swapped: 3/3 WPA used/remaining: 5/4.5 Tomorrow just spells doom for me, doesn’t it? Blast and damnation. Well, at least I got to the gym today, and I will again tomorrow, even if I didn’t swim tonight (hamburgers at 6:45 were too close to swimming at 8. oof.). *More* good writing news tonight that has me very cheerful despite the blasting and damnationing.

Hell and blast. But…

Some of them are totally wild uninformed guesses, because who ever sees the best animated short films, or whatever. If I get a chance to see more of the movies before Oscars night, maybe I’ll do this again. :) Best Picture: Brokeback Mountain Best Director: George Clooney for Good Night, and Good Luck. Best Actor: Philip Seymour Hoffman for Capote   (I really hope Heath wins, though.) Best Actress: Reese Witherspoon for Walk the Line Best…

computers

So last fall I bought a new laptop computer, because I thought I was going to be doing web work on the side and I needed something more studly than my now 7 year old Sony Vaio. Then I sold six books in December and it became extremely clear there would be no time for side work, so now I’ve got this fairly decent laptop which, at 6.8 pounds, weighs too much for me to actually carry around comfortably, and which I no longer have any justifiable use for. Naturally,…
