Two embedded videos on the same day

Standard

I must be losing my mind.

First, in the “I do not think it means what you think it means” category:

“OMG! Was that live? Terri! Terri, come here, please. About that word you used when you were describing the President’s love life…

And here’s another video courtesy of Amy Sheldon’s sff.net newsgroup: A Cause Worth Fighting For. A very fun animation that’s also beautifully done. It’s about 8 minutes long, but it’s probably the best show you’ll see today.

R.I.P. Charles H. Schneer

Charles H. Schneer passed away yesterday He was 88.

I saw this one in the theater with my father, and I was just the right age for it.

The not-fun day

Standard

I overslept this morning and missed my writing time. I’ll have to make it up tonight. Also, I’m at the day job. Also, I tweaked my back last night and now I’m walking around the office like igor.

Don’t expect much from me today, thanks.

Be unscientific!

Standard

Agent Jennifer Jackson is conducting an impromptu and unscientific focus group about what sorts of books we’d like to see more of, and what’s wearing thin.

I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to see all those folks saying they’re tired of urban fantasy 8 months before mine comes out.

But hey, if you have an opinion, swing over there and post it. Just be sure to read the rules at the top of the page first.

Having watched the inauguration…

Good luck, Mr. President.

Copy talk

Standard

Tomorrow, the associate copy chief at Del Rey will call to review a couple of choices I made on my copy edit.  I’d better drop her an email to let her know I wouldn’t mind if she waited until after Obama’s inauguration speech.

Also: testing, testing.

Okay.  How about: testing testing.
