Halloween

28 October 2003 by MissMeliss

Attention Local Crewe:

We'd talked some about hanging at my place on Friday evening, so I can be home to scare greet trick-or-treaters, and so that we can have PumpkinFest out on the Patio.

Could I get a headcount and any requests for snacks, please?

Thanks.

I can’t decide if this is disturbing or amusing

22 October 2003 by MissMeliss

…but I found it in a blog I was reading, and had to share… of course, has seen it.

The Gospel According to Lego

Apologies…

11 October 2003 by MissMeliss

…to those of you who are getting the feed. It's apparently working, and kinda spammed the hell out of things.

I offer brownies to make up for it.

Further Update

10 October 2003 by MissMeliss

The feed for MochaChai isn't communicating properly. I know what the change should be, and emailed the support folks with it.

I hate that you can't manage feeds that you create.

Happy Friday.

Oh, and : I am still working on your project. We had an issue with Cleo last night that distracted me.

Housekeeping

10 October 2003 by MissMeliss

So, I've moved my personal blog to a new directory, which means a new link. I've moved my NaNoWriMo project to the OLD blog directory.

This changes RSS feeds in this manner:
/was/ blog feed – /is now/ NaNoWriMo WIP feed.
is new blog feed.

Feel free to add/delete either to your friends list at will – and as a reminder, I pretty much only post to the blog, not here – not real stuff anyway.

While everyone else…

8 October 2003 by MissMeliss

Waits for The Return of the King the movie I'm most looking forward to is a romantic comedy: Love Actually.

Hey, even I am allowed to be disgustingly girly, sometimes.

Bibliotic

1 October 2003 by MissMeliss

Everyone I know is doing this, but I'm using 's list as my jump point because then I don't have to edit for OD. And because I so rarely steal from her :)

Y'all know the rules: Cross off the authors who don't live on your shelves, and replace them with ones who do.

Note: I crossed off Tolkien. Yes, we have Tolkien books on our shelves, but those are Fuzzy's not MINE. I'm not really a Tolkien fan. Love the movies, though.

1. Neil Gaiman
2. Tad Williams Laurell K. Hamilton
3. Dorothy Dunnett Madeleine L'Engle
4. Sean Stewart Jane Austen
5. Guy Gavriel Kay
6. George R. R. Martin
7. J. K. Rowling
8. J. R. R. Tolkien Jasper Fforde
9. Truman Capote Tom Clancy
10.William Shakespeare

Fun with Real Estate Law

30 September 2003 by MissMeliss

“Every property must have an owner. In Pennsylvania, a 600-acre forest that was deeded to God reverted to the state for nonpayment of taxes.”

Ahoy, or something

23 September 2003 by MissMeliss

Need More Books

21 September 2003 by MissMeliss

I'm currently in a political fiction mood. This happens every so often, like the time when I was fourteen and Mom brought home a book called The President's Daughter which lead me to read everything Allen Drury had ever written, all within one week. (I read fast, remember).

So, can anyone recommend anything. Please?

Oh, and faint, or something, because this entry is NOT in my blog :)

What I’m Reading: Bibliotica

Book Review: The New Year’s Man by Michael Scott Clifton

Book Review: The New Year’s Man by Michael Scott Clifton

It’s not easy to combine a compelling legal drama with a rom-com and not have it feel like all the worst stereotypes of a Hallmark movie, but Michael Scott Clifton does it with style and a little bit of actual wand-waving in The New Year’s Man.

Book Review: Lift and Let Die by Helen Golden

Book Review: Lift and Let Die by Helen Golden

There’s something bittersweet about discovering a series just as it’s coming to an end. Lift and Let Die is the sixteenth and final installment in Helen Golden’s A Right Royal Cozy Investigation series, and while I had no trouble following the mystery as a newcomer, I couldn’t help feeling that I’d arrived rather late to a very entertaining party.

Book Review: Stuck with You For Christmas, by Jen Smith

Book Review: Stuck with You For Christmas, by Jen Smith

I love a good RomCom. I especially love a good second-chance RomCom, or one featuring lead characters who are past their twenties. Even more, I love a good Christmas RomCom. So when I was offered a review copy of Stuck with You for Christmas by Jen Smith, well, obviously, I said yes.

Book Review: The Last Christmas by Liz Fenwick

Book Review: The Last Christmas by Liz Fenwick

I’m new to Liz Fenwick’s work, but based on my recent devouring of The Last Christmas, I’ve been missing out on some incredible storytelling.

Book Review: Narcissi by Babette Fraser Hale

Book Review: Narcissi by Babette Fraser Hale

But while Cole is the central character, this “novel in stories” is really about the women he encounters. Each is distinctly herself. There is no particular type, no interchangeable parade of romantic interests. Hale gives these women agency, personality, and histories of their own, while allowing us to experience Cole’s story through their eyes.
