I think I saw a Polar Bear...

[wednes]

Either it was right outside, playing in the snow...or I fell asleep while watching Planet Earth on Discovery Channel. Man...that is an amazing show. I really ought to buy it. My point of course, it that I feel utterly buried in snow already. And it's supposed to snow all weekend.

As some of you now know, I got confirmation of my 2010 publication date for Kiss Me Like You Love Me, better known simply as "my serial killer". It's coming out on Valentine's Day, which I think is hilarious. So now I have to finish it. Hehehehee. I'm hoping I can get the editor who did The Cat's Apprentice, and the artist who did the cover for A Stabbing for Sadie.

I was watching Trading Places today, and talking with H about how cool and talented Eddie Murphy used to be. I mean, he's still very talented, but he squanders most of his acting on ridiculous, offensive comedies who appeal to people I don't ever want to meet. I mean, he probably would have won the Oscar for Dreamgirls if he hadn't followed it up with Norbit.

Oh, here's this thing:
Clicking on the above will take you to Horror Mall's The Haunt, which is a boss online hangout for horror fans.
It's a pretty hip site, I'm liking it a lot so far. Brand new, and already 600 members. That chick who played Trash in Return of the Living Dead is on my friends list over there. Gnarly!

I wrote a letter to H's grandmother today. She's been asking me if I'd write her how to make green bean casserole. Apparently this is not something African American families traditionally have on thanksgiving. But H's grandparents had it at a buffet and liked it. Duh, because it's delicious. So I gave her my special recipe. I'm really bad about snail mail letter writing.
Speaking of snail mail, I am told they are thinking of reducing the number of days we get mail. When your government job is scaling back, something is terribly, terribly wrong.

Congrats on the publication date. That's perfect!

I know, right! My publisher is a witty guy in his own right.

Thanks to my internet being kerplowie at home, I've resorted to, *gasp* books for reading material. I just finished "The Cat's Apprentice" this moring. Maybe I'm biased because I think cats are evil, but I really enjoyed it, and laughed out loud at the ending.

Thanks for writing it.

Wow! I'm really glad.

If you think of it, I can always use more Amazon reviews.

Yes, I would have to agree there!

Isn't that wild?

The cream of mushroom soup always bothered me, but it's just as easily cream-of-anything. Stoats, totally. In general, though, green bean casserole is pretty damn tasty stuff.

I use cream of chicken mushroom, myself.
My mom used to ply us with those "cream" campbells soups when we were kids; cream of: potato, broccoli, celery, mushroom. Celery was the worst...

I agree about Eddie Murphy. I never thought I would say I miss the offensive, raw Eddie Murphy, but somehow he's more offensive in his fat suits and stupid comedy. Bring on the foul mouthed buddy movies!

We need "Yet another 48 hours." I'd pay to rent that!
