I have a weakness for music that sounds like it ought to belong in some smoky blues club. Welsh singer songwriter Duffy fits the bill. (Note: the page loads an audioplayer.) I like "Warwich Avenue", but my favorite is her current single, "Mercy".

okay well Tuesday now means is my run night... which I've just done, and done rather well actually considering I'm a little under the weather. I have this sore throat that isn't sore, but has made me lose my voice - so I have this husky sexy voice at the moment... mmm... maybe I should make some phone calls :D

Need to read a chapter of Hollow Jimmy, maybe work on my website AND I want to do some more writing.

Gosh, these posts are getting a bit repetitive.  But on my run, I was thinking of another possible story to link into my ABL Series... well if I'm going to do a series, I at least needs some stories to go in it - and this one could nicely set up Daniel :D  - so whoo hooo - I get bunnies when I run too :D

Right, chat later.  Time for some tea.

All of a sudden it got a bit late, and I just had to switch the pc off and go to bed.

I was working on my A Beautiful Lie sequel set just after Only Church In Town and I was busy commenting/chatting over on LJ.  So totally distracted.  Going to try and get some writing in now.   Got a dillema about a couple of things, but might just write it and see what my *beta* readers think ;o)

Failed with Hollow Jimmy and my website!

He really deserves a wallpaper...


and some screenshots from the "Magic Circle Festival 07" DVD

Happy Birthday to mywoogie. May your day be filled with joy!

No writing... but I have just spent some time discussing a future bunny so that feels kinda constructive.  Especially as I needed to know whether it was feasible or not.

Watched Doctor Who - junkfood_monkey is right... they've created a Mary Sue!  Although Donna is priceless and I do like the on going joke about them not being an item :D that's funny.  She's so dry, I love her!

No reading - oppps  apart from Covenant but I never quite got around to giving proper comments... sorry ostarella, I'll try to do some tomorrow!  - although can't fault it much really.  I was going to see what JFM had put and then thought at least I can agree, disagree or agree to disagree blah blah blah ;O)

oh and just emailed JFM about Heroes... that ended up being longer than intended.  But then I had a lot of questions to ask.  That's what I like about this programme and the fact that the show will actually answer some of them at least, soon.

Right, off to bed.  Too late!

so I've managed to read one chapter of Hollow Jimmy - I might try to get another in, we'll see and I've managed to do a bit on my website and over on ff.net.  - got a wonderful review from someone on ff.net about A Beautiful Lie, which made me all smiley inside :D

BUT I'm having problems with my writing again.  Well, what to do.  Should I do Hunted or my ABL sequel set after Only Church In Town?  My head says Hunted.. my heart says ABL Sequel (although it NEEDS a title).

I think I need to think how to end Hunted, so I have a goal to write to.  That's my problem with that story at the moment.  Although I still have ideas, so maybe I should just start writing those... and hope the ending comes to me.

Gah!

Matchbox Twenty did a cover of Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" that I've loved ever since I saw them perform it live.

A song I have had had stuck in my brain is "Hollywood Is Not America" by Ferras. Basically, a Marilyn Monroe-theme song.

"Holler Back" might just put The Lost Trailers on the map. Song subject: when you don't know what hip-hop means, and you're a country fan.

Miranda Lambert did a duet with Jack Ingram on her hit, "Gunpowder and Lead".

Motion City Soundtrack's "It Had to Be You" makes me want to vid something to it.

Other bands I'm digging: Disturbed, Spitalfield, Within Temptation, and Saliva.

Voulez vous .... avec moi ?




(oui Eric, mon cheri...)
Oh my god, I never thought this possible XD, I almost fell of my chair laughing.... and Joey has a great sense of totally wired humour... once he said, he is so generous he never takes money for sex with the women, he´s not into it for the money...Manowar, I got a bad taste in loving you !, lol

okay nothing more done really tonight - just reading Hollow Jimmy, and Rescue and answering emails/comments etc etc.  (no writing tut tut) - plus I watched Heroes!!!  :D OMG springs to mind.  It's great and there is one scene that is just so - up my street - can't say any more coz it will spoil it for everyone.

Oh but just remembered theres something I want to discuss with junkfood_monkey about Peter - so once you've watched it mate, email me ;o)

NOW I must go to bed!!!!

Just finished another run :D Hubby and I have a cunning plan... from now on I run Tuesdays and Thursdays, he runs Mon, Wed & Fri and possibly Sun... he's got a half marathon to train for in September - me I want to get below 10 stone!

Lord knows what I'm gonna do when winter comes... I'll go back to the pool or something.

Right, today, didn't get much free time, but the little bit that I did have I uploaded some older stories on to ff.net and my website.  Ff.net is now standing at 42 stories - have I really written that many?  AND that doesn't include Staying Out Of Trouble (my second largest story since Four Wishes came along).  AND I still haven't put about 6 quick picks on there, as they were a kind of series, which might be my baseline for a Four Wishes sequel, if I get around to writing it.

Oh and I haven't put my latest Quick Pick - Play on there. 

So overall quite constructive actually.  Hopefully I'll have time for some reading later.  Hollow Jimmy is getting hotter :D

oh and to finish off this post: RED DWARF :D

It's the old, old story: Droid meets Droid, Droid becomes Chameleon, Droid loses Chameleon, Chameleon turns into Blob, Droid gets Blob back again, Blob meets Blob, Blob goes off with Blob, and Droid loses Blob, Chameleon, and Droid. How many times have we seen that story?

- Kryten

okay - probably needs a better title.. and let me know if you spot any typos or faults.  I think in places some better words might be required... but like hell can I think of them ;o)

oh and I wasn't so sure of the ending, but I needed to tie it in with Labour Pains.  And I'm kinda assuming here, that BA would have designed this, and the guys helped him put it together - but you can correct me if I'm wrong.

beauty :)

Had two more interviews today, both were a waste of time.

The HR manager of one company appeared to have a very vague idea of what I'm to do in the company. She also mentioned that the head manager wanted an applicant to speak English, however the company had no foreign partners at all. Weird.

The other fellow, whose position I never knew, claimed that they needed an employee who wouldn't waste time on Facebook, ICQ etc and would work hard. Well, in this case I'm a perfect applicant for them :)

To sum up, I wasn't satisfied with the interviews.
