Happy birthday to me! And to Janis! And to Lynette! And to Marilyn Monroe and Superman! And, no doubt, to many other fine people! And thank you, everybody, who sent me birthday email. *beam* I wrote 1400 words this morning! On Thunderbird Falls rewrites, which isn’t really what I’d intended to start working on, but hey, the muse moved me, I guess, so who’m I to argue? Perhaps later today I’ll fix the rest of the chapter. Or perhaps I won’t! We’ll see! ahahaha. Ahem. *laugh* I’m in a good…
stupid spammers
I am getting *really* badly spammed by comments spam. This is really, really frustrating. Stupid, stupid bastards. :( I have turned off comments on any posting more than 1 week old.

Also I just discovered that Caltrain’s not RUNNING on the weekends right now, which means I /have/ to get a stupid hotel bus to the airport tomorrow morning, but at least it’s cheaper than a cab. Hrmph. And then I think I’ll go up to Fisherman’s Wharf (this is not one of those paragraphs of which an English teacher would approve) and do some shopping and eat some dinner and maybe I’ll…
The Lion King
I will almost certainly not have time until I get home to write up as thorough a review as I would like to, but I went to see The Lion King last night and it was spectacular. Frankly, the opening scene, which literally brought tears to my eyes (and cheeks, for that matter), is worth the price of admission. I don’t know what it is about that piece of music and its vibrancy and harmonics, but I’ve found it emotionally overwhelming ever since it was used as the trailer for…
