It has been WAY, WAY too long since I posted on LJ. But I come here several times a day and see what other people are up to and think that I SHOULD update people. Just in case anyone cares.

Alan Davies Twittered to me. I can die now! *swooon*



I adore him on QI. But I became smitten when I saw the show "Bob & Rose." He's darling.

I asked if there could ever be a sequel to Bob & Rose and he said "no, it was only meant to be a one time series." But he was glad I liked it. *siiighhhh*

Hello all--

I know I don't post much but I have not been feeling terribly communicative. There are things going on, but I have not been in the mode of spilling all (which is unusual for me). However, I don't want you to think I'm not around and lurking and spying on all of you (cause I am!!). So I will just give a short update on various things that are going on in my life. And some of it will probably be WAY too TMI!

I just wanted to express how touched I was at so many replies to my eulogy of Mocha. I often don't expect people to understand the "pets are like children" attitude I have. I've had people say in the past "It's just a cat!" or "It's just a dog!" But for me, who has been childless, to have an animal that you get as a baby, who is often not terribly healthy and you nurse it through everything that comes along and you exchange love and devotion... well, it's hard to accept "just a pet."

Mocha was what I called my "first born." And he was always special for that. I have so many great stories about him and his quirky behavior. Like the time when he was still very young and I heard my ex shout from the kitchen, "Mocha! Get out of the microwave!!" He had jumped up in it to take a look after the ex had opened it and taken something out.

It's been hard to adjust to him NOT being here. Every time I see India (short haired black cat) out of the corner of my eye I keep expect it to be Mocha. I haven't fully grasped that he isn't HERE anymore. And I hate to admit it, but I'm having trouble really bonding with the other cats because I'm still missing Mocha so much and they are just NOT Mocha (none could be) and Mocha is who I want. I know it takes time to heal and I will get there. It's all still very fresh. But I am doing okay. Haven't cried today, yet!

Again, Thank you all for your very kind words and sympathies. I just didn't want to have to go back in and write 22 replies to my first post! I appreciate all my LJ friends speaking up, even ones I don't usually hear from. I appreciate the Daily Kos gang dropping by. And even my RL friend, Niki "Peanut." Your understanding and love has been very healing.

Love you all!!

I have talked to some of you about my cat Mocha who was diagnosed with kidney failure last year. We had been doing all we could to keep him going but the battle was finally lost.

This could be REALLY good!!!!

My first draft of my manuscript is done. It's such a strange feeling. And I feel really at odds as what to do next! For over a year I've spent nearly every day working or thinking about this story. Currently I am waiting to get some copies of the story made so I can have a few people read it. I really want feedback and some guidance about what I have just spent my time creating! Is it good? Bad? Boring? Trite? Stupid? I'm hoping to get some good suggestions to only make it better and perhaps make me feel more confident about trying to solicit an agent.

But I really am wondering what to do next. And I must do something. Last night I sat here without a story to work on and I felt lost! So I think I will just get started on the next one! There is a story line that I have had sitting for a few years. It is a drama/murder/romance that I originally thought I would do in present day, but I think I'll consider setting it in turn of the century St. Louis! My first step with the previous work was to sit down and let each character describe the other. I think I'll do that again. It feels like a harmless place to start.

It will be interesting to see what happens next all around!! I appreciate the support my LJ friends have given me, too. Thanks!!!

Cause adaveen said to!! Post 10 pictures from your hard drive. No explanation. Okay!

I haven't done this in a while!! I've been totally obsessed with the band Anberlin. And thank God for Imeem. I can listen to all their albums as many times as I want!!

A band formed in Orlando around 2002, it has mostly contemporary Christian roots, but is not at all "in your face" with the religous stuff. In fact they really don't like the lable of "Chrisitan band." And most of their songs are about other issues and things. Recently they left their Christian based record lable for a more main stream record company. Their latest album "New Surrender" has a single that is #3 on the alternative rock charts "Feel Good Drag" (according to Anberlin's Twitter!).

Their songs all have great hooks. The lead singer's voice is AMAZING. And the lyrics are so poetic and interesting. They can be a bit emo sounding. But their acoustic stuff is beautiful too. This song is the one currently stuck in my head. Lyrics are included just because I find them haunting.

Anberlin "Dismantle. Repair."

Dismantle - Anberlin

(BTW, this song is NOT on the album "New Surrender" it is off the 2007 album "Cities")

Mostly I remember him as Hugh Grant's wacky room mate in "Notting Hill." But after hearing that he's been cast as Luna Lovegood's father in DH, I decided to check him out since he was on Jonathan Ross this past week. (Which BTW, Jonathan is working to out-Twitter Stephen Fry, I do believe). He's funny, charming and kinda sexy...hmmmmm

Part 1

Part 2

April 1st is a SPECIAL DAY! Not because it is April Fools Day. Not because it is the Weasley Twins' birthday (although that is pretty damn important!)

Today is special because it is protowilson's birthday!!

I think we all have really wonderful things to say about Proto. She is so creative and talented and intelligent and funny and compassionate. All of us have marveled at the amazing pictures she does for us at our birthdays or even just down times of our lives (like when I was in the hospital). So what do you do for someone like that when it is THEIR birthday?? I mean a case of alcohol and a foot rub from Snape would be great! But what could WE do??

I decided we should return the favor. Now granted...most of us are NOT artists! But compared to Proto, who is?? I contacted several great LJ people and asked if they would like to contribute to Protowilson Birthday Project! Many were happy to give their best! The fun of it was to realize that we could not duplicate Proto's talent, but maybe we could give her laugh, none the less.

So, here are the artistic endeavors of just some of your friends that really appreciate all that you do and hope that your birthday is super and amazing (just like you!)

catsplay made this. I keep thinking I'll save it for those "duh..what am I doing again?" posts. I know I make those!!

I snagged this from veradee. I thought it was interesting but I'm afraid my answers won't be nearly as cerebral as hers!!

1) What author do you own the most books by?
I think I have all of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum novels. (though I admit the storyline has long since run its course)

6) Tag six people to do this.




Yes, I managed to find a pink pen to do this with at work. Let me know if you can't read it! lol.

kristine00 snoopylover1967 anglophilic unholypassion jettdelirium and apythia, you've been tagged!

I rented the 1981 BBC version of Sense & Sensibility. OMG. It's like watching a high school production of the 1994 version. Elinore is bucktoothed. Col. Brandon is so bland (which is probably truer to the book). And Edward has no charm whatsoever (again maybe more like the book). Not to mention the acting is SO stiff and overly formal! I miss the natural, believability of Emma and Hugh and Alan and the gang. So I think Emma more than deserved that Oscar!! And I've always thought Ang Lee was a genius.

reallyginnyjf pointed out the song that was in the video catsplay's "Things on My Cat" video. Anyone else now being quite enamored with Sam Hart(blinktwice4y on Youtube)?? Just wow! What talent.

I tried to talk to the Professor...but he wasn't as cooperative as I had hoped.







I'm sorry, reallyginnyf, I gave it my best. You know how he is about birthdays. Oh, I'd be careful opening anything that is wrapped in Slytherin green, just to be on the safe side.

But I love and appreciate you! I hope you have a great and wonderful birthday!!

XXOO!
