LOST (the parts I saw of it anyway) was weepy and wonderful. How can you not root for Penny and Desmond? And Faraday is turning out to be a compelling character in his own right. Sadly, Jeff Fahey's character is not. One things for sure, I'm keeping my Time Turner with me at all times. You just never know when the world is going to go kablouie on you...
Anyway, I missed the beginning of LOST because my cab was over an hour late. While stomping angrily to the door, I slipped on the ice and fell right on my tailbone. It doesn't hurt that bad, but if memory serves it's going to hurt like hell tomorrow.

I can now play Morning has Broken on the dulcimer.
Take that, Guernica!

Also, if any of you have read A Stabbing for Sadie, can you please go to the site and leave a short review? It would help me out a lot. Of course, I'll be asking you to do even more reviews once the book is listed on Amazon. :-] Anyway, I'd really appreciate it. And I can use snippets of your reviews in my press releases.

Maybe they are trying to be too smart for thier own good, but I love little touches like "Faraday"

From Wikipedia:

Michael Faraday, FRS (September 22, 1791 – August 25, 1867) was an English chemist and physicist (or natural philosopher, in the terminology of that time) who contributed to the fields of electromagnetism and electrochemistry.

Faraday studied the magnetic field around a conductor carrying a DC electric current, and established the basis for the magnetic field concept in physics. He discovered electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism and electrolysis. He established that magnetism could affect rays of light and that there was an underlying relationship between the two phenomena. His inventions of electromagnetic rotary devices formed the foundation of electric motor technology, and it was largely due to his efforts that electricity became viable for use in technology.

I knew there was a famous scientist named Faraday, but not the details. Thanks!

Spoken like a true time traveller.

Excellent. My plan to create a secret army of dulcimer players is coming along nicely.

LOL and LOL again.

It has been my experience though, that the tailbone fall hurts much more the day after.

You might want to add to your publishing link that they get a free $5 off code when they sign up for the site and to check for it in their mail before they buy your book. Saves them on shipping costs. I'm still grumbling I didn't see it until after I hit the confirm button. :/

Ack! Really? I missed that, too.

Good idea, thanks!!

I'll pre-provide you with snippets from my review-to-be:

"... son of a ..."

"Although, really, my duodenum works just fine."

"Ooo -- ooh --- aah -- *SOPRANOS!"

"Rachael Ray: Cameron Diaz without the depth of character."

In re: 'Morning Has Broken,' you'll change your name to Yusuf Islam ... what? Next week? I want to be prepared so I don't deliver a birthday cake covered in a lie-carved-in-frosting.

Thinkin' ahead, that's me.

I think I've changed my name enough as of late.

*kisses your butt*

Feel better?

Um...I'm not sure.

;-]

Wait - shouldn't the cab people be court-ordered to do the butt-kissing?

I don't think so. It's not their fault I was...well, it is their fault I was stomping around pissed. But they are not directly responsible for my fall. Sadly.

I know, but it's still pretty funny to think of telling people who give bad service to kiss your ass :-)

Most service is good, but it'd be nice if cabbies or companies were allowed to call clients to tell them they'll be late - obviously the call being paid for by the company
