Happy birthday to ALL my birthday twins! Esmerel and Silkblade and Fahri and, er, desperance’s niece whose name I don’t know, and Novella and Morgan Freeman and Marilyn Monroe and Superman! It’s a good day to be born. :) Today I will make a lemon cake (off sugar or not, I’m not denying myself a birthday cake!) and, er, probably clean the house and if I’m lucky I’ll have bbq ribs for dinner, though I suspect it’s going to end up being either ham or some wonderful thing I force…
yagh.
I am too far inside writer-head to read, apparently. I’ve picked up several books now, sort of looked at the first several paragraphs, and gone “gah, I don’ wanna”. This has absolutely no reflection on the books, and is entirely indicative of my state of mind. It also probably explains (to me, anyway) why I’ve been spending so much time dinking around with photographs and kitsnaps rather than catching up on my reading. I hope someday I’ll be interested in reading again. o.O It has been a glorious weekend thus…

Meet Nook 3.0: It’s a Samsung NC10 (sadly, not an NCC-1701), and it has, for sweet Christ’s sake, a 160 gig hard drive. I’m a *writer*. My…
aren’t you tempted?
For a mere 85 more dollars there will be a new Walker Papers or Old Races short story! The Tuckerization is at $260, the gift basket is at $105! Busy day of revisions ahead of me, as yesterday was a total loss. :p Pilates first, though. *scoots off*
*stress*
So the chat software we’ve been using for the word wars, tinychat (which is web-based and therefore ideal because everybody has a browser but not everybody has AIM/gchat/ICQ/whatever), has gone and made a bunch of Improvements which aren’t. I shall list them for you, because I know you’re dying to hear. The different colored, bolded usernames (which helped differentiate chatters) have disappeared. So has the flashing toolbar announcement that there’s a new chat message, if you’re not on that window. The chat window itself is smaller, making it more difficult…
