Not much to report today. We went and watched “Taxi” yesterday, which was generally pretty bad, but has Queen Latifah, which makes up for some of the badness. :) And we watched the first half of The Peacekeeper Wars, which made us happy, although I thought many of the characters were more…manic…than they’d been when last we saw them. It was a little odd. But Claudia Black has put the five important pounds she lost back on, and looks wonderful, and she and Ben Browder are *almost* as sexy together…
*beam*
*beam* I sent email to my cover artist to say thank you, because, I mean, *wow*, and I thought I might not hear back from him, but in fact I did and he seemed very pleased that an author had taken time out to send him some positive feedback.

audi update
Well, I just finally called the Audi mothership. After sitting on hold for a very long time (during which I attempted to compose an email which would fit into their 1200 character limit on their website) a very nice woman answered and listened to me rant about this incredibly frustrating situation.

hah! got permission!
Hah! I got the permission slip! (I tell you, using a fax scares me. I’m Not Familiar with those beasts!) Oops, she’s trying to fax again. Hm. And I don’t have her email. I wonder if the number on the sheets is good to call; it’s actually a different person than the one listed on the excerpt agreement. Well, I’ll try the number I do have. :) ANYWAY! In all its glory, the cover for URBAN SHAMAN: *bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce*! Tell me what you think!
Warren Ellis Does It Again
Warren Ellis has once again used the Internet for Doing Cool Shit. Today’s stunt is Strange Machine, a blog of Futurosity, in which he has invited his LiveJournal readers to write, draw, manipulate–in some way, create–their vision of the future. How far a future doesn’t matter; whose future doesn’t matter. All that matters is that you create something, and post it to Strange Machine, as one of hundreds of other creators, coming together for twenty-four hours. My submission is an excerpt from THE END OF DAYS, a post-Apocalyptic novel of…
