Sorry for double-spam: Apparently there’s a waiting list for broadband access, and we have no idea how long it’ll be; they said it could be anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, which more likely translates to “a few weeks to a few months”. Nrf. So I’m setting up a permanent gmail address. I may end up using it instead of any of my other email addresses in the long term, I don’t know. But for now, and for the foreseeable future, if you want to email me,…
no net.
No net. No ETA on net, either, at this point. My mother says the Irish would rather lie to you than disappoint you, and we seem to be victims of that.

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.

Apparently all the nasty Irish germs are having a field day with my delicate Alaskan constitution, or something. Unlike the last cold, which only required aspirin, this one actually requires cold medicine, which means I’m a zombie. I can do one thing at a time. I’m actually quite efficient doing one thing at a time, because once I’m doing it I’m completely focused. The problem here is that I have begun…
revolutions 2006!
(written January 1) I don’t do resolutions. My resolve always fails. Instead I set myself some goals for the coming year, because goals are achievable and resolutions aren’t. Or something. :) 2006 goals: 1. write 400,000 words 2. walk 600 miles 3. read 104 books 4. lose 12 pounds 5. sell 3 books I think I usually have more, but that looks like the right number for this year. I’m taking biking off for a couple of reasons: one, I haven’t made goal *yet* for that (neither for writing, but…
