Geek Girl's in, and hopefully the HTML isn't too screwed up.  It's hard to tell, since I don't know how to open it as a web page and check it.  

And Sprig--did you ever get me that links page so that I don't have to put the links at the bottom anymore?  *poke*   ;D

I could do that review of Kitty and the Midnight Hour I've been meaning to do for a month...

Give me a deadline and I'll actually get it done.  Otherwise it'll probably just sit here and fester.

Then, I give you a deadline of tonight, because I've been eyeing that book and trying to decide if it was worth the read!  :)

I just tossed in a humor article for editorial perusing.  Rewrite of an article I wrote about five years ago, updated and much tighter.  Just for kicks and giggles.

Here's the reader's digest version then:

It's one of my favorite books I've read in a long time.  Freaking awesome.  

The review would, of course, actually tell you why.

There's a review of Twilight Imperium in. I submitted it for a guy I know (actually my cousin's friend's husband). He buys a lot of Fantasy Flight games, so hopefully we can convince him to submit more reviews of them.

Okay, I'll write it today then.   ;D



Argh.  Why do I always think everything I write sound stupid?

Well good then.  At least I'm not alone.

Review's in.  Hopefully it's coherent.  I'm not quite sure that it is.  

Fell, check your PMs.

FYI, Kitty was written by Carrie Vaughn, not Carrie Vaug.  Must have gotten cut off.

There's a review of "Inside Man" in the queue.
