London Question
So--those of you who know London, a question:
If we got tickets to see a West Ham vs. Man City match in East London on a Saturday evening (@5:30) is that a really dicey thing for two Americans to do? (Or anyone, for that matter?) -

Back to NYU
We're taking Rachel back to New York for her second year at NYU tomorrow, and I may or may not have internet access while we're doing that--it's unclear. (I may have access purely through going to an internet cafe or some other place in public that has wifi if the place we're staying doesn't have access ( Read more... ) -
Oh, those wacky funeral directors...
It's really eye-opening doing the research for my current writing project. Even though I grew up going to a funeral home for piano lessons (the organist there, who was married to the funeral director, was also the organist at our church, and I took lessons from her daughter, who was also an organ and piano teacher) I didn't really witness the ( Read more... ) -
Potterdelphia and PhilCon
Had a fun outing this afternoon to the Franklin Fountain (awesomest ice cream in Philadelphia!) with the other folks of Potterdelphia for a belated Harry Potter birthday gathering. I'm now officially LJ friends with drinkingcocoa :waves: whose little girl was also along for the outing, sporting beautiful face-paint from a trip to the zoo ( Read more... ) -
Writing Progress
I've been working diligently on the resumed writing project since July 1 and have written almost 23,000 words of it since then. The book now totals over 35,000 words! I'm in the middle of chapter 5 out of 13 and on track to finish by the end of September, I believe, if I can keep up this pace. Then the editing begins, of course. I'm also rewatching ( Read more... ) -
You've Got Time
I have been seriously ear-wormed with this song ALL WEEK.
(And I'm not quite done with Orange is the New Black--episode 10 is next for me--so no spoilers, please!) -
Twenty Feet from Stardom
Rachel and I just saw this yesterday. Amazing film, amazing women. And, once again, something that includes information about Phil Spector leaves the viewer with the general impression of, "Man, was that guy a dick."
Go see it! -
Various types of progress
I queried two agents today concerning Quantum Harry! So that's something. One just wanted a query letter, proposal and outline, while the other wanted all of that AND the first five chapters of nonfiction works, so I sent the Introduction and first four chapters (which amount to almost 60 pages). Both agents are on the record as interested in ( Read more... ) -
Why do I read the comments on some articles?
So tired of people automatically saying about both Orson Scott Card and Stephenie Meyer that their being Mormons explains anything they don't like about them. There are plenty of Mormons who manage NOT to actively work to dehumanize sexual minorities and take away what few rights they have (OSC) or who manage NOT to create characters who are ( Read more... )
