I should be writing, because I’ve got to get on the 1:30 train into Cork today, so my time’s a little limited, buuuut… This morning I had email from LibraryThing creator Tim Spalding, who’s added a new LT feature: LibraryThing Authors. It’s basically just a way for users to easily find what books their favorite authors might have on their shelves, but I think it’s pretty darned nifty. :) (25 minutes later: This is me, LEAVING LIBRARYTHING AND GOING TO WORK!)
chugging along
There’s a blackbird with a very orange beak and a great big fat worm in his beak sitting in the green green grass of the back yard. I’ve seen him here before; we must have a nice wormy back yard. I got through writing out the line edits and got half of them typed into the manuscript, which isn’t as far as I wanted to get but it’s after 9 and I’ve been at the computer most of the day, so sod it. I’ve made a few moderate changes to…
bitch bitch bitch
Man. I just do not want to deal with this book.

I don’t usually *not want* to do revisions this badly, but then, this…
tiny bubbles
I got two thirds of the way through the ms and my brain couldn’t take it anymore, so I took a nap on Ted. Now it’s late and I’m all awake, so I guess I’m going to do a tiny bubbles posting, ’cause I’ve been collecting links and stuff for one for a couple weeks now. Now to see if I can find them all… From Deirdre, Enchanted Doll. This is generally NWS. And from Marith, Sous la Mer, which is NWS at *all*, but holy wow, beautiful work. I…
wurk wurk wurk
The WMP on this computer appears to be grabbing all the virtual memory and swallowing it for lunch. I don’t listen to music enough to make a different media player worth paying for, but does anybody have a rec on what other free MP might be better? I did just do updates for the computer, so maybe that’ll help, but maybe it won’t, either. I’m going through HEART OF STONE backwards. Ted said, “Is it better that way?” and when I gave him a dull-eyed stare he laughed and said,…
