Sorry for the sudden influx of posts. I just realized I’ve managed to pack up 0, count ’em, 0, boxes of anything today, and I have roughly a million things to pack and send, so I’m closing out with a to-do list for tomorrow. I mean, you know, one that includes the stuff *besides* writing 1800 words to get going on my February Nano challenge, which I remind the several of you who stepped up starts TOMORROW aghglghglhg – pack at least 6 books – send at least 1 box…
Picoreview: “Haywire”
Picoreview: “Haywire”: First off, although I remembered the commentary about the filming when it happened, until I saw the scenes in “Haywire”, I forgot some of it had been set in Dublin.

Five Writing Things Make A Post
Thing One: Last year Laura Anne Gilman wrote a terrific series of essential things for the writer in your life to know.

(Neither could Ted. We both have one now. :)) But anyway, I’d ordered the women’s large, and it is in fact a women’s large, cut differently from the men’s. So while my pudgy self would no doubt fit in it unattractively, I think I’ll stick it on the kitchen cupboard (or more likely, a printout…
*Seriously*, people?
There’s a re-share going around my Facebook friends list of a billboard that says “If you voted for Obama in 2008 to prove you’re not a racist, vote for somebody else in 2012 to prove you’re not an idiot.” I’m not linking to it because I’m not in any hurry to give the guy who posted it originally any more traction (though to be fair I’m sure he didn’t create it, just took the picture). I’m having a hell of a time figuring out why people are re-sharing it. Presumably…
