Flintlocks, Porcelain Heart, Circus love

(1) Research for my current writing project (I am excited beyond measure to be working on this):

I have a major girl-crush on Louise Brooks.

 

(2) The song that gave me chills at a concert that I attended with the hubs on Friday (the band is Opeth—Swedish metal—and the lead singer, Mikael Akerfeldt, may or may not have been a teeny bit of an inspiration for Lon at one point or another . . . along with a couple of other people):

 

(3) What I read this weekend (and probably my favorite read of 2011 thus far; however, I would hesitate to recommend this to readers who might find it hard to be patient with a great deal of description and very little action):

Beautiful, literary slow-burn . . .

This and That

Ladies at the vet love me!

1) Remember when Pug #1 ate all that gum with xylitol and promptly poisoned himself? And I shelled out over a thousand bucks to save his neck at the animal ER? His follow-up appointment was this week. Liver test: all clear. He’s healthy as a horse. Or a dog. Either way, he’s healthy. See him showing off at the vet? Little bastard.

2) My family is in town this week. My dad is bringing 10 dozen eggs. They have chickens, in case you’re wondering why in the world someone would be in possession of that many eggs. Now, what the heck I’m going to do with all those eggs is another story. Ideas, anyone? Egging houses? Get a head start on Easter? Egg salad every day in October?

Opeth!

3) I’m meeting my agent, Laura Bradford, in person for the first time. Yay! Note to self: try not to scare her away with excessive hugging.

4) I’m going to see Opeth this weekend at Center Stage in Atlanta. Three cheers for Swedish metal!

5) I had an EPIPHANY in regards to my upcoming PNR project. Soooo happy, and wish I could share it with you. But I can’t. Until I sell it. And I will. Because it’s good . . . really, REALLY good!

Hope you all have an excellent week!
