three also, and random news

Three lily-types, and finally two of the blue wonders in the cat-garden. The wildflowers are really late this year, but blame me...

Spoke to the printer rep this morning and it looks like corrections have reached him just in time to ... *maybe* get a few of Liaden Universe Companion to DragonCon. We'll worry a bit...

We watched another movie about George Sand. I wonder how many there are? This one was called Impromptu, I think... Why would we be interested in movies about writers, after all. Can anyone suggest others? We've seen both Shakespeare in Love and George Lucas in Love and though we could stand to see them both again maybe something else... My Netflix list is down to 27 I think.

I have not won the Tri-state megabucks. Again. My mother reports winning $52.10 in four hours at a casino in Delaware... so at least someone in the family is winning all the loot, right? Sigh.

Alas, no trip to the ocean today.

Finally, I wrote to a magazine yesterday because I had an article idea (which I didn't give them) asking for the *rest* of their writer's guidelines. They gave (on a website) vague word lengths, and some idea of time frame, but forgot to mention how much they pay. When I asked, they told me they have "no set rates." Well harumph...how can I know if I'm interested enough to pitch an idea if they can't tell me even a ballpark figure of what they offer in return? I know, filthy pro writers....

Oceans

At Huntington Beach yesterday. As perfect as the ocean can get. Lots of tourists from the mid, they were so happy. The surfers were happy, the sun was out...as good as it gets.

The mid?

But the day does sound good.

Topsy-Turvy, about the collaboration between Gilbert and Sullivan, is splendid. There's also Finding Neverland, about J.M. Barrie's writing Peter Pan.

Finding Neverland we've seen, and enjoyed very much. Topsy-Turvy we haven't seen .. will try to add it to the list. Thanks!

Lucas in Love

How on earth did you get ahold of a copy? I saw a second or third generation VHS copy some years ago and have been trying (off and on) since then to procure a DVD copy for my very own.

I wish I could claim to have "got ahold of it" ...
I think we saw it in Salt Lake City when we were Guests of Honor at Conduit... or CONduit... any how, some of the Friends of Liad put on a mini-Liaden Lounge and they'd found a copy in DVD somewhere, I think there.
