Yes, I know there are automated services that do this, but it gives me the wiggins to give out my password.

I’m loving the slow build of Kostova’s The Historian. It’s kind of delicious how she uses ordinary and understated things to build tension. about 1 hour ago via web

I’m so uncool I actually liked The Prince of Persia. Not just because of the Jake Gyllenhaal eye candy. Admittedly, that was up there tho. about 21 hours ago via web

My Pollyanna is in short supply these days. 12:50 PM Dec 6th via web

I’m not sure reading The Historian by Kostova at this juncture of my life is the best idea but i’m fascinated. 9:49 PM Dec 5th via Mobile Web

More no. What else? 8:16 PM Dec 5th via Mobile Web

PBS’s NOVA cures panic attacks. Who knew? 7:37 PM Dec 5th via Mobile Web

Five things make a posse

Posted by PJ under craft, egoboo, five things, games, music, OWW, time
No Comments

1. It is difficult to make a five things list when you’re not in the mood to talk about stuff. I am not sure if I’ll be around much, other than the odd quote of the day. Then again, I may be chattering like a chimp. Hard to predict.

2. I’ve decided I’m down with smearing egoboo all over myself in public. I got one of the best pro reviews of my writing I’ve ever had. Helpful and a boost when I needed it. Thank you, OWW and John Klima. Now I guess I need to finish that novel.

3. My copy of Bioshock remains virgo intacta though it arrived weeks ago. I must figure out how to arrange for time and energy to play it.

4. I got the greatest idea for making handmade Christmas cards. I wish I’d gotten the idea back in July. Maybe next year.

5. Here’s something from Daydream Believer by the Monkees that sums things up nicely:

Cheer up sleepy Pjthompson
oh what can it mean.

Which song was this lyric from?
