You can read the Decatur Daily interview with me here or here.

The WordPress switcheroo is on hold for now. Not because I don’t adore WP, but because I don’t have time to figure out what’s up with my webhosting and WP talking to each other. I would love to point you to my new WP blog with the dot WP addy, but then that would simply confuse a lot of things when I get it working on the domain. So, sigh, no new blog for now. Hope to fix that soon…..

Why romance heroines rock

The adventures of a time-traveling romance-reading housewife. See, this is why romance heroines rock — they kick ass.

Thanks to hubby for finding. Hope you enjoy. :)

American Idol — NOT
Wednesday, April 9th, 2008 8 Comments »

Okay, Jason Castro did a fair job. And he picked a great song, especially Iz’s version which lots of people are probably not familiar with.

But as a former Hawaii resident, I can assure you that JC doesn’t do it justice. Bruddah Iz is the BOMB! No one can do it like he did. Forget the size, the fact he isn’t pretty — the man had a voice like an angel.

No, Jason Castro doesn’t compare. It was pretty, but it wasn’t Iz. I knew when he started singing that the judges didn’t know this version as well as they should. Knew they’d give him props for it. Oh well, listen to Iz. He was THE man. He did this on one take, btw. And he threw in Louis Armstrong. Beautiful. :)

Aloha, Iz. You were something else, brah.

OMG, this had me in tears! Want to know how to deal with telemarketers? This is your guy right here. Make sure you’re seated, and make sure you aren’t drinking a beverage. :)

Finally, the secret exposed! Off to get my atlas….

Paula Abdul is still cool

Hey, I like this video. Love it when a 40-something woman proves she’s still relevant. Paula may seem flaky, may not have the pipes of a Christina Aguilera, but she’s still cool. Jeez, I remember her in a Janet Jackson video from way back…

Techno Toys

Hubby seems to think I’m in need of more techno gadgets, so he bought me a 32GB iPod Touch. It’s a cool toy, and I intend to watch movies on it when I fly to San Francisco this summer.

But I’m pretty sure I’m not capable of what these guys are doing. Two Touches and one thing I don’t know what it is make up an iBand. Can you believe what’s possible these days?

I’ll just stick to playing videos on mine….

Most hilarious thing found in a blog this week
Thursday, November 8th, 2007 2 Comments »

VAPID – Virginal Angry Prudes in Denial. Used by Lynn Viehl to describe the people who got Wal-Mart to put wrappers on romance novels.** ROFL!

In fact, the whole post — where a vampire shows up at an editor’s office to protest the portrayal of his kind in romance novels — is hilarious. Go read The Vampire Smythe and have a laugh.

**She’s also the coiner of SOILS, Sisters of the Immaculate Love Scene, which describes romance authors who bitch about too sexy sex in books today. ;)

One of my favorite music videos: Christopher Walken and Fatboy Slim

I love this video primarily because it features a well-known actor doing something you’d have never pictured him doing. Reminds me that we ought to keep in mind that our characters should never be predictable either. :)

Who’s your Mac daddy?

Please excuse the mess while the author of this blog is forcibly dragged kicking and screaming into the world of Apple. Hubby insists.

I am on a very cute MacBook and hubby is buying an iMac to replace the desktop. It’s different, and there’s a slight learning curve, but it’s pretty intuitive. So far, not too upset, but things look different. And my home network is refusing to cooperate, not because of Apple, but because we were switching to DSL from cable. The phone company sucked me in and lied about the money they were going to send me. I may have to send the DSL modem back with a note about where they can put it, but we’ll see. :)

In the meantime, hope everyone is writing and getting lots done! I hope to be back to normal soon!
