My Brain Hurts
May. 7th, 2009 09:52 amMy brain hurts from trying to come up with new "Dead..." book titles. All I can say is thank God(dess) I have creative friends and partners. I put up a request for ideas help on Facebook and got great responses. Susan Harris came up with "Dead If I Do," and now I can thank my friend Bill Stitlter for "Dead Over Heels." And, of course, Mr. Sean M. Murphy for "Dead on Arousal," but I still need one more... any ideas out there?
In other non-Tate news, my life continues apace. Mason is off school for three weeks for Spring intersession. Luckily, he's currently obsessing on video games, so I can still get a bit of work done. It looks like today might be rainy, but otherwise we might go out into the garden to putz around and get everything ready. I'm currently in the waiting-for-the-check-to-arrive phase, and one of the many things I'd like to spend part of it on is flowers for the gardens. There is, as always, a big bare spot on the hill out front where something (hosta?) died over the winter. Huge sections of grass didn't coming in again... and this year my solution is weeds. I'm purposely planting agriculture grade clover. I figure between that and the creeping charlie, maybe I'll have "grass" that will survive deep shade and tough winters.
I got a date tonight to see "Wolverine," despite lukewarm reviews. Okay, I only read the one in "Entertainment Weekly," which actually complains of too much action. Is that possible in a Marvel film??? I guess I'll find out tonight.
Anyway, I hope you all are well. I have more (positive!) fish news, but I'll save that for another day. Also, if anyone out there wants to win a copy of Tate's latest, you can check out an interview I'm giving tomorrow at Bitten By Books.
See ya on the flipside!
