a point of contention

DearAuthor.com has brought up the much-overstated demise of the Luna line (among several other things) in a recent post. I’ve been running into this once or twice a month in blog postings and on email loops. It’s insanely frustrating, for a lot of reasons. One big one is that people have been saying, “Well, if the line’s going away anyway, I’m going to stop buying Luna books.” Well, the line isn’t going away, but saying so will help it to. :/ Two is that the line has been restructured and…

my big plan…

My big plan for the day, “Get Petite (my energy/invulnerability tank on Liberty, not Jo’s car) to 16th level,” has been thwarted by CoH taking the servers down for maintenance. And by the Circle kicking my pansy ass all over Steel Canyon. I kill a couple guys, then have to run out to find a contact so I can get enough inspirations to survive killing a couple more. *pantpantpant* I have a pile of emails that I need to respond to.

catching up on being a fanboy

Ted and I watched the last episodes of season 1 Dr. Who yesterday evening. Having never previously seen Dr. Who, and having heard pretty much across the board rave reviews, I have to say the show lived up to my expectations. First off, I did know enough about Dr. Who to think it was right bastardly of Christopher Eccleston to only do one season, even before I had any emotional attachment to him. Now I think it’s twice as bastardly, because I adored him. (I said, when we were done…
