Since I started keeping my professional blog, you may have noticed that entries over here have dropped off. I have never been a good journal keeper, but rest assured that I'm doing well, and those of you who are following my actual news can see that the book scene is going well, also. :)

So yes. Life is good. Got to hang out with my old karate instructor and his family yesterday. They are thinking of moving, which is sad, but since it's been like a year since we last saw them, it's possible we'll actually see them more often if they live several states away.

In other news: fun links! Want a seal? Here's the Official Seal Generator. Hours of fun an entertainment!

I am so gonna get overthrown...

In other news, an old camp friend of mine responded to my author mailing list's most recent posting with her own fabulous news--she's a mom! She sent me pictures, and it's amazing to see her looking like a grown up, since I think the last time we saw each other, we were both fourteen.

Just wow.

Ennies

Edit: I thought this image linked to the actual Ennies voting site, but alas, I apparently don't know how to imbed the link properly. It's here.

Must thank [info]shanna_s for her recommendation of Naomi Novik. My husband picked up her books (which I'd checked out from the library) and by last night he'd already nearly finished the first one and was loving it. I'll get my turn shortly.
13th-Jul-2006 10:27 am - Celtic Horoscope
something-positivie
Honestly, I'm trying to remember my graves now, as he's done a whole thirteen month Celtic tree calendar. For ages I had the whole thing written out on a sheet of graph paper.

...Moments later...

Nope, just checked my copy of the White Goddess and it's not in there. It's probably lost to all time. Which means that a blogthings quiz and report is the next best thing.

You Are A Rowan Tree

You are full of charm and cheer. You light up a room.
And while you crave attention, you do it without ego.
You are an interesting mix of contradictions - and very unpredictable.
You are both dependent and independent, calm and restless.
You are passionate, emotional, gregarious, and (at times) unforgiving.


This makes me a Libra/Goat/Rowan. Note that all three have some aspect of balance in their descriptions. I find this amusing, as for a time I was the most Libra person I knew. (I worked hard to stop being indecisive, which has taken away some of my natural Libra quality. Not that it was an entirely successful effort...)

In further intersting horoscope news, I just read an interesting myth about the Yaang/Goat sign in the Chinese zodiac. The myth goes that the goat was originally two branches that sprung up out of the ground; the goat came up from the ground following them, only to find that the branches, now horns, were attached to his head. The book I was reading said that this is representative of the goat having two different world views from the start of his existence, and he holds both of them in his head at the same time. I like to think this means I am destined to embrace Negative Capability.

Perhaps if I can't find a school that will let me do the dissertation I'd like, I can find one that will allow me to look into horoscope mythology. But I'm guessing for that I'd have to go to Bristol, and as much as I'd love to live in England for two years, I just don't see it happening.

This link is mostly for [info]moonitic, who I think it will make giggle. Of course, she also probably knows about it. ;)

Quick update: If you're going to be clever and adjust the margins on the left hand side of your odd pages so as to better fit a double-sided document in a three ring binder, you should also be clever and adjust the margins of the right hand side of your even pages.

So much for my cleverness...
11th-Jul-2006 06:06 pm - Romance Pop Quiz
something-positivie
1) What is it with romance novels involving pregnancy? Most of the period romances I've ready end with the heroine becoming pregnant, involve a happy pregnant/birth giving epilogue, or use pregnancy as a plot device that forces our bewildered hero and heroine together. Why do you suppose that is?

2) If you were recommending your top five paranormal romance titles, what would they be?

3) Not a quiz, but a fun article about how Harlequin is taking back its manga line from Dark Horse. The new line is to be titled Pink Ginger Blossom.

On a completely different note, happy birthday [info]dragonladyflame!

something-positivie
I was going to take the pirate quiz that [info]mastyrwerk posted in his most recent entry, but the link is broken. How will I ever know my secret pirate identity now?!?!

In other news, I must someday get the Pegasus Publishing T-shirt, Yin Yar. The eternal pirate vs. ninja debate still rages strong, and I'm looking for some middle ground. This is more than likely because I am a Libra and must sit on fences.

That said, someone the other day proposed the idea of ninja pirates (not pirate ninjas). These highly trained ninjas could become masters of the seas, using their near-magical capabilities to rule the waves. Also, they could become the swing factor of the eventual all out pirate vs. ninja battle.

I am very amused.

Also, I enjoyed Pirates of the Caribbean II. Possible_Spoiler )
