Yesterday we went into Dublin to watch some movies, since we have no net access and we were all bored. :) We went to King Kong, which Shaun walked out of (not surprisingly), Ted decided was too long to like, and I felt rather guilty liking, because it really was *much* too long and self-absorbed. The opening–everything up to them getting onto the ship, for example–could have been done in about 7 minutes, instead of the 30 or more it took, f’rinstance. But I rather liked it anyway. :) We…
trying to stay updated
Well, we went down to open a bank account today, which is a much lengthier process than it is in the states. So that’s underway. Then we went and got *library cards*.

I had a call from the editorial assistant at Harlequin on Wednesday that threw me into a panic: the author alterations for THUNDERBIRD FALLS were due and they weren’t in, and something about he was going to email them to me, and I’m going ACK ACK ACK because I hadn’t *seen*…

But for now, and for the foreseeable future, if you want to email me,…

Huh!
URBAN SHAMAN got nominated for a Romantic Times Reviewer’s Choice for best modern fantasy award! Lookit that! I’m up against Jim. I’m sure he’ll understand if I hope I win. But if I don’t win, I hope he does. :) I went out to lunch with my Irish ladies, which was lots of fun! We went out to a Temple Bar restaurant which certainly thought a lot of itself, but it was in fact good, and we had a very nice hour or so before I had to scoot off…
