Oh, now I remember! Yes, my aunt is living in Arizona and she told me about it.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Watching Frank Loggia ham it up as the vampire mobster in Innocent Blood is HILARIOUS.
I watched that yesterday, too! Totally HILARIOUS!

“Not dead yet!”
Why does my writing process always include 48 nervous breakdowns?
Writing is fucking hard.
Yep. This. Got no words of wisdom to go along with, just commiseration.

Personally, I am still astounded by people who consistently find writing to be FUN. While I have white-hot moments of joy and some intervals of pleasure, a whole lot of the time is carrying the heavy water pails or crying in despair.
I just read a really gloomy discussion on Boing Boing (of all places?) about how Wall Street may be melting down TODAY. So keep your fingers crossed!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The finance industry is a distaster. Too bad a lot of my job is tied to it!

I just saw some fashion designer on TV describe his current line as being inspired by the Roaring 20s and the 1980s -- weren't there stock market crashes at the end of each of those decades? Yikes.

I'm still waiting for my super -- I really would have thought "first thing" would have been earlier! Oh well.

“Not dead yet!”
Personally, I am still astounded by people who consistently find writing to be FUN.
I have to say, when it's working-- when everything's firing on all cylinders and I so completely lose myself in the world and characters and dialogue to the point where I'm astounded that hours have passed without any knowledge or awareness on my part, there's no other feeling in the world. That combination of exhaustion and exhilaration in absolutely unbeatable.
Admittedly, it's balanced out by the tooth-pulling agony of the times when it's not going well, but the highs do keep you coming back. While I don't have an addictive nature in the least, it does give me a fairly decent window of insight and understanding into how people become junkies.
