– The release date for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has been announced: July 21, 2007. For those of you who are as nerdy as I am, you can already pre-order it on Amazon. (Yes … I did.) Even worse is that I actually got goosebumps when I saw an actual date in association with its release. Yeah, it’s pretty bad.
- Begin To Hope by Regina Spektor, which I have mentioned on here a few times, is $6.99 on Amazon right now as well. I don’t know how much it usually costs, but I do believe that is quite a good deal. If you ever thought about buying it, now is the time. This also goes for Love in the Time of Science by Emiliana Torrini (another I’ve mentioned before), again on Amazon. I think that one is $6.87, or something. Under $7, anyway. (Click the links to go to the exact pages where I found them.)
- I just discovered Found, and I’m completely fascinated by it. I don’t like it as much as PostSecret, but I do like it quite a bit. Same kind of thing.
- For those of you rockin’ it in my neck of the woods, check THIS out sometime. I won’t be at the one this Friday, but … you know … it’s still probably one of the cooler things in this _____ town. (Couldn’t find the words, and I’m in somewhat of a time crunch currently.)
- For those of you who keep up, I’ve started writing another book. I think it’s fiction. I mean, it’s complicated, but … I definitely think it’s fiction. I’m writing it in a style that focuses on a certain scene (point in time/what-have-you), then goes to another, but they all kind of string together in an odd sort of way. (Yes, there is a word for it. Yes, I know it. No, I do not feel the need to bore everyone with writing styles.) It’s moving quickly, just like my first. I put that one on the back-burner for a bit, though. It was making my brain hurt. I’ll assuredly finish this second one before the first. And, heck, who knows? Maybe that first one was just a catalyst to get me kicked into gear with this one, the actual one, the one I, myself, would read if someone else wrote it. I suppose that’s important. Ha!
- Running With Scissors (the movie) apparently becomes available for rent and purchase next Tuesday, Feb. 6th. I haven’t seen it because this town never brought it to theaters. All I can say is I enjoyed the book. (Damn, Amazon should pay me for advertising.)
- The line, “all that I am, all that I ever was, is here in your perfect eyes, they’re all I can see …” has been stuck in my head for days now. I hear that the song (Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol) is horribly over-played on the radio, which is a shame, really. I don’t listen to the radio, so I wouldn’t know. This is probably the reason I can still tolerate it … and so many other songs, for that matter. Doesn’t it suck how radio stations beat the ever-lovin’ crap out of a few good songs, making them unbearable to listen to anymore?! I think so; hence, the no-listening.
- I’m out of time for now.
- Take care, be safe, be happy, be nice … and … as my favorite memo pad at home says, Don’t fuck this up!
(I know it’s not very ladylike, but it’s just so versatile … you know?)

Yay! Harry Potter! A writer friend and I talk about the upcoming book all the time, and we always set the ‘geek alarm’ when we begin.
I’m also excited about Runs with Scissors, missed it in the theaters. Good stuff here. Good luck with the book.
