It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Amy, I'll pass that on. Mary's doing a thing at Lafayette Books, and our friend Susan Ito is hosting a book party for Mary at her place in the East Bay on 4 October.

Oh, and I have the Bay Area booklaunch party at M is for Mystery all arranged, and will post in, what, press? Beep Me? one of 'em, anyway, as we get closer.

I want to do something back east, damn it.

And right now, I also want to work on vampire book, and can't until Nic takes me for a drive in the LA hills this weekend; I can't write them until I have the setting. And it's driving me fruit.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

If it's a case of needing many things to make it worth your while, Deb, I'd arrange a book signing or a library gathering or an anything you want, pretty much, here in Cleveland. It's not quite east, but it's close.

(thread hijack, for lack of any other place to put it)

Deena, that's the crux of it: having people in a given area bug the bookstore and/or library, and make the request. I'm doing a phone thing with a reading group at the Shrewsbury library, from here, if we can arrange it, but I just don't have the jam to ring up a bazillion bookstores around the USA and say hey, want to do an event?

So absolutely, if the Cleveland or local library wants an event? I'll go to Cleveland, you bet.

Cool, Deb. Got open dates I can arrange for?

Taking it to e-mail.

The status is NOT quo.

I want to do something back east, damn it.

come read in Connecticut at RJ Julia's and I will bake for you and take you to see the pretty, the historic, and the downright silly

I'd be happy to bug them, if you'd like. Want me to inquire?

Kristin, hell yes, but we should take any discussion to email; I'm not hijacking the thread.

Always Anti-fascist!

I wrote another drabble, this one about how first impressions go wrong...there aren't actually "Colors" in it.

Colors

Mom and James are all hot on this cop show they watch all the time...never leave the house for, in fact. I take every opportunity to be out “roaming the streets” as my mom says. I think she’s kidding, but things are touchy for us right now...who knows. But doesn’t L&O say it all...especially Lennie.Man, I love that guy...even if I’m still like “When did Baby Houseman’s dad learn ‘punk’?”

The show’s not all that. About some foreign guy getting shot in a KISS mask while a cop with a voice like God calls it racist. I don’t think it is, even if Jim’s an idiot(Tim and Jim...they really name creatively in the Bayliss clan...idiot must be catching.)

And what’s that Tim guy so torn up for? Dude, it’s no big...on TV the cop’s family always gets a break.

Eh. Can’t imagine getting caught up in that.Even if that woman does have great hair.

Boring Law and Order clone.

Pssst, erika -- did you see Veronica Mars?

Kyle Secor has a recurring role in it.

Nuh uh...I hadn't. But, good, cause I won't have to brave the shame of Lifetime to look at him! Yay. Because I get tired of looking in the mirror and mumbling "You are a very shallow woman." like when I watched that gal from China Beach cheat on him, and it was v.v bad, but there was a sex scene so it was sort of worth it, but made my muses cry.(see? Topicness!) Seems to me the people at the Waterfront were saying that, in between kvetching that the skin on Rescue Me kills puppies...what time is Veronica on? (Prudish Homicide fans...I still don't believe that shit..."It doesn't surprise me when people lie...it surprises me when they tell the truth.") Were they, like, not watching the same show as I?

Art Crawl!!!

The pilot is repeating tomorrow at 8 Central on UPN -- and on Sunday. (Times were posted in Natter.)

Kyle is not in the pilot very much - - but trust me -- chances are he's going to be important. (Unspoiled speculation.)

Normally, Veronica is on Tuesdays at 8 pm Central/9 Mountain.
