MishMash
Looking at YouTube has convinced me of one thing: people have WAY too much free time. Including a certain writer who looks at all sorts of Brokeback parodies. When even your husband starts sending you Brokeback MountDoom, you know you’ve gone Too Far.
Bless his pea-picking little heart, too. The newest thing the Dear Husband Muffin is agog over is the Invisible Clock. I married a techno-geek.
Help me.
The new Watcher book is going great guns, and the fifth Valentine book is knocking under the hood like a Corvette with a gas tank full of water. I wonder if draining the engine and flushing it out (a massive operation involving diary entries, interviews with the characters, and blocking out fights in the back yard.) will help or hinder.
Ah. The life of a writer.
In other news, we’ve had some rain here. Enough that the world is beginning to smell green again, and I am heartily glad of it. The dryness was really starting to get to me. And the leaves are beginning to fall, the air has taken on the peculiar crispness of fall.
Enough stupid landscape stuff. Froopy just interrupted this blog post to point out something rare and wonderful I had no idea even existed:
Go. Click. Watch. Laugh until beverage shoots out your nose. Seriously. It’s that good.
Last but not least, it’s International Talk Like A Pirate Day. If you don’t know HOW to talk like a pirate, relax. It’s very simple. There’s the Five A’s.
Enjoy.

I don’t really think there’s any more delicate way to put it:
YouTube is the devil.
And my writing mourns the loss of my attention. But, come on: pirates, 80s videos, and parodies. What’s not to love?
