Rubber duckie, you're the one...

Way too much going on lately, but here's some fun news (for me, at least) -- I got asked to be a columnist on a new romance website, Romancing the Blog, and my first column will run tomorrow. Still have to polish it. Or possibly write a whole new one, depending on my mood later. The site is kind of a clearinghouse for the blogs of romance writers, readers, and reviewers, but the column content is original.

Next project is already behind schedule. Still taking on too much freelance work. The baby has discovered how to open drawers, which means most of her clothes wind up on her floor at some point during the day. Ben's eighth birthday is Friday, and he's having a sleepover party. Believe it or not, it was my idea. Clearly, I've lost my last shred of sanity. At least only four boys are coming, since I limited the number of invitees.

[livejournal.com profile] dachelle got me hooked on Arrested Development. I don't blame her for this, because it is amazingly funny, and Jason Bateman is truly yummy.

[livejournal.com profile] susanw's husband is making me a very cool website, which is a good thing, since I don't think I'm capable. And he's very funny, which makes reading his emails a treat.

I want Lost to come back. I want the Amazing Race to be over, because I'm tired of it. I want Numb3rs to do well in the ratings, because it's making geeky math geniuses (and their cranky FBI agent brothers) surprisingly sexy.

I also want to go one day without watching Sesame Street, but I'm not counting on it. (Counting. Heh. One day without Sesame Street! Two days without Sesame Street!)

Remind me about your blog tomorrow and I'll read it.

Yay! for being hooked on AD! Seriously, few things make me happier than to read that yet another person on my flist has gotten into the show. And mmmm...Jason.

You know, I'm kind of ready for TAR to be over, too. Not least because it makes my Tuesdays at 8 less stressful, and frankly, with House and Veronica Mars, I just don't love it as much as I once did.

TAR just got...boring. I wanted Jonathan and Victoria gone (actually I wanted them dead, via torture and blood-letting), but now there just isn't an interesting team to root for. I'm kind of sorry Lori and Bolo are gone, to be honest.

And I have VCR issues (as in, ours won't tape because it hates me) so I'm looking forward to getting back to Veronica Mars. I've missed so frigging much already.

Very cool! I just discovered "Romancing the Blog" & it's wonderful. (Did you know [livejournal.com profile] riemannia created an LJ feed for it? [livejournal.com profile] romancingblog)

Yay! I'm freaked now, though, because I'm suddenly hating the column I have all written and am tempted to write a new one. Performance anxiety...

And no, I didn't know that. But then, I don't know what an LJ feed is either... :sheepish smile:

I blame dachelle for Arrested Development too. Now I have to buy the season 1 dvds.

An "LJ feed" takes content from a blog hosted elsewhere and turns it into an LJ account that you can friend - makes it easier to keep up on your reading in one place.
