It's Sunday and I am carefully watching the visitor count at the very bottom of this page. I am going to try to be your quarter billionth visitor!


-----Email Message-----

It was 2:16 AM in NJ when I was on - and so were 614 others. It finally shook that feeling that was keeping me awake. The feeling of being alone.










-----Email Message-----

I live in Tennessee, so I have taken countless childhood field trips to the falls. Now that I look back on it, a giant underground waterfall probably ISN'T the safest environment for children. :)


-----Email Message-----

One of my fondest childhood memories was a trip to Chattanooga with my family when I was eight. I was so shy back then, but the friendly tour guides at Ruby Falls were so nice to me and seemed to enjoy talking to everyone that they inspired me to break out of my shell. When I got home from the trip I made my very first friends at school. Thanks for that.







I am thrilled to present the cover for the new PostSecret book which has more than 250 never-before-seen secrets.

Pre-order
your copy today. (Thanks for supporting PostSecret.)

If you've mailed a secret to me and haven't seen it posted, you may find it in this book.

Torchwood and my thoughts on what makes a show [11 Jul 2009|01:33pm]

I've never been a fan of Buffy, but I've always been a fan of Joss Whedon.

Hugely, madly in love with this week's Torchwood, which has redefined my understanding of what you can do on primetime BBC1. Somebody put their finger on why I loved this series so much: it was like Battlestar Galactica. Dark, cynical, frequently horrifying, with some excellent characterisation (excepting the sometimes clunky Barrowman) and heartbreaking moments of tragedy. :(

Most awesome moments:

spoilers for the whole series )

WIN. :D

White Lies
Arctic Monkeys
2 Many DJ's (AWESOME!!)
Basement Jaxx

Here in Helsinki [08 Jul 2009|10:17am]

grrm
[ mood | tired ]

So we're here in Helsinki, me from Santa Fe and Phipps by way of Ireland. Grey skies and rain, but the people are warm and friendly. Yesterday we visited Sveaborg, the great island fortress that I've written two stories about. "Gibraltar of the North," it was dubbed by John Quincy Adams. I can only conclude that JQA had never actually seen the Gibraltar of the south, since the resemblence between the two is nonexistent. Sveaborg is pretty cool in its own right, however, and I'm glad to have seen it.

The con proper starts tomorrow. Some come to Finncon if you can. It's free!

Driving test tomorrow... [07 Jul 2009|09:48pm]

jademacgrath
[ mood | excited ]

at 2.30 PM. Let's hope everything goes well!
On the bright side, the pain medication for the back mixed with my valerian pills work so well it's like I never had pain (or my period) in the first place ; )

Since I'm a book addict with no life whatsoever, I already finished all nine books of the Southern Vampire Mysteries series and withdrawal is already creeping behind the corner. Ten months until the next novel... and I can't wait to read it!

And since I feel like I might deserve a prize for passing the test (or a major pick-me-up for failing) I already decided I'm going to Padova before the week ends so I can buy at least a book of the series (still uncertain if I should give the Italian translation a try... I heart the English version so much) and maybe something else. I love sale season XD

Ring the alarm [07 Jul 2009|01:12pm]

logpoes
[ mood | tired ]

Gisteravond hield ik een heel betoog tegen Kattenfluisteraar T. dat eigenlijk alle nummers op de wereld zouden moeten beginnen zoals dit nummer, of, als dat niet mogelijk is, in ieder geval een sirenegeluid zouden moeten bevatten. Hij bleef van mening dat je moet beginnen met een basetrack voordat je begint te mauwen over geluidjes en hoewel hij uiteraard gelijk had, was ik in een wat trollerige bui en riep ik nep-bozig: “Ja maar, ik wil gewoon sirenes! Sirenes wil ik!”

Had ik mijn kop maar gehouden... Om 0.00 uur exact ging het brandalarm af. Loos alarm. Dat gebeurt wel vaker hier, om precies te zijn elke woensdagmiddag om 15.00 uur exact: blijkbaar is er een erg roostervaste muis die dan net met zijn of haar muizenkont langs een draadje komt wat het alarm laat afgaan. Of het is verkeerd aangesloten, dat is ook nog een optie, ik woon tenslotte in een pand van Woonclubje De Rots. Uiteraard is elke gelijkenis met een echt bestaande woningcorporatie geheel opzettelijk.

Het alarm hield deze keer echter lang aan, dus ik belde de Noodlijn van Woonclubje De Rots. Antwoordapparaat, toets 1 voor nood, 8 keer een doorverbindgeluid, weer antwoordapparaat, weer 1 toetsen en jawel: een levend persoon aan de lijn. Ze zouden er naar laten kijken. Gelukkig stopte het geloei vanzelf. Slapen dan maar.

Helaas: om 01.00 uur begon het geloei weer, tot 01.10 uur. Vervolgens om 02.00 uur nogmaals tot 02.10 uur. Toen het om 03.00 uur weer zover was, heb ik de telefoon maar weer eens gepakt. Om een (zeer) lang (en vermoeiend) verhaal kort te maken: er was op dat moment niemand beschikbaar die 1) een sleutel van het pand had en 2) een sleutel van de hoofdschakelkast van het alarm. Briljant he?

Voor de vorm hebben ze nog wel een (overigens uiterst aardige) monteur gestuurd, waar ik om 04.00 uur nog gezellig, uiteraard onderbroken door een bak geloei, mee gebabbeld heb. Waarschijnlijk heeft alleen zijn aanwezigheid al geholpen, want om 04.15 uur was het stil. Tot 04.30 uur: toen was het tijd voor K*tvogel...

Kinderen voor kinderen [05 Jul 2009|10:37pm]

[ mood | cheerful ]

Kinderen voor kinderen exists 30 years this year as does, coincedently the walkman. Lets celebrate this with a tribute post for kinderen voor kinderen en post some of your favourite Kvk clips/songs or hold a KvK marathon on youtube ;)


One of the first songs of the first KvK was "Ik heb zo waanzinnig gedroomt." one that I can remember having on a cassete and playing on my walkman


Is it me being an old fart that I like the old songs way better than the new ones?

Opgegeten [05 Jul 2009|09:22pm]

ikbenmama
[ mood | amused ]

Hoe krijgt ze het toch voor elkaar? Prinses heeft al maandenlang een wiebeltand. Meer dan één eigenlijk, ik weet niet eens hoeveel precies. In ieder geval zit de eerste (onder)tand al maanden los. Ze peutert en pulkt altijd overal aan; nagels, korstjes, velletjes... Maar op een of andere manier niet aan die wiebeltanden. Daarom duurt het waarschijnlijk ook zo lang voordat ze er echt uitvallen. Denk ik. Ze blijven zitten totdat de "grote mensentand" ook echt door is en de melktand er gewoon uit duwt. Er is inmiddels ook al een enorm gat ontstaan tussen de wiebeltanden (de twee middelste ondertanden) en de tanden ernaast. Er is alvast ruimte gemaakt voor haar nieuwe gebit. Een raar gezicht, want het ziet er al tijden uit alsof Prinses twee tanden kwijt is, maar dat is helemaal niet zo. Er zitten alleen twee gaten tussen...

In ieder geval is het vandaag gebeurd... Prinses heeft een fietsenrek, want ze is haar eerste ondertand nu echt kwijt. Letterlijk dan ook meteen. Ze zat een boterham te eten en zei plotseling dat het gat tussen haar tanden nu wel erg groot geworden was. Volgens haar was er nog geen tand uit. Ik keek en zag een bloedend plekje waar haar tand gezeten had. Wel eruit dus. En nog maar net gebeurd, want het wondje bloedde nog. Maar waar was die tand dan? Nou eh... doorgeslikt waarschijnlijk, opgegeten met haar brood, want ze had er niets van gemerkt en dus ook geen idee waar haar eerste uitgevallen melktand was gebleven! Hahaha! We hebben er smakelijk om gelachen, zijzelf ook. En natuurlijk hebben we haar een klein beetje gepest, maar niet teveel. Het is nu eenmaal zo en ik ben blij dat ze er zelf geen probleem van maakt. Daar was ik namelijk wel heel even bang voor. Gelukkig zag ze er zelf ook de humor van in! :-D

+ I got evidence of that... )
+ The Sookie Stackhouse books are more addictive than crack and Twilight put together!! I'm already at book EIGHT and I can't stop reading those damn ebooks! And I'm completely, totally an Eric fan. Eric can do no wrong in my eyes. Eric has just kicked out Edward from #1 on my Favorite Vampire List! (Eric Northman, Edward Cullen, Spike, Angelus, Mick St. John, Bill Compton (especially after book six)

+ The family and I will leave for the sea on July 14th, and I can't wait. I missed the beach and the sea something fierce last year XD Two weeks without Internet, but I need a little detox ; )


Have a good evening, my darlings! ♥

I sent in the secret about my art meaning something to anyone other than myself. The postmark is probably Charlotte. I never imagined it would make it up there! It was quite a terrifying experience, because my aunt is a gossip, and she works at the post office.

Anyway, when I looked earlier, there was a snippet of an e-mail message underneath the postcard image, and when I checked back today, it was gone. I would like to say that it provided me a great deal of comfort and understanding. It sparked a revelation in me.

Dear Frank,

I have been an avid follower of PostSecret for many years now. When I saw the tattoo a woman got of one of the secrets--"We accept the love we think we deserve"--I knew that I wanted a PostSecret tattoo, as well.

I waited patiently every week for the secret that jumped out at me, went to PostSecret events and followed you on Twitter.

I found my PostSecret quote, and the funniest part is it was written on the envelope in which their secret was contained, and yet, the minute I read it I knew it was mine. . .

Cool cat [03 Jul 2009|11:57pm]

[ mood | cool ]

Yay! Sinds gistermiddag is Huize Poelekie voorzien van een heuse airco-bak! Ja, decadent, maar het was hier in huis letterlijk 35 graden en zowel Rood, Les-Mioux als Poelekie zelf dreigden het zowel fysiek als psychisch te begeven.

Een jammerend telefoontje naar The Big Kahuna hielp de knoop doorhakken en ik moet zeggen dat ik spijt heb niet eerder zo’n ding aangeschaft te hebben. Zo’n 5 hittegolven geleden ongeveer.

The Big Kahuna merkte nog heel scherp op dat bijna elke crisis in Huize Poelekie bezworen kan worden met een groot wit apparaat (vaatwasser, airco…), wat behalve hilarisch eigenlijk ook ontzettend wáár is. Concluderend: airco! Yay!

Messing around in my new room, window open onto the garden and a beautiful view over Bristol, enjoying the sunshine, a cool breeze and some well-earned quiet. :) Which is just as well, because I can't move without wincing. I've pulled muscles I didn't know I owned. In the last three days I've:

* Cleaned the old house from top to bottom.
* Moved everything I own into my new house.
* Unpacked.
* Read and critiqued a 150k novel.
* Paid my first month's rent.
* Earned some delicious cash and got my first pay slip.
* Walked fifteen miles.

And now it's the weekend! :D

Brief Update [02 Jul 2009|09:50pm]

scott_lynch
This past weekend, my youngest brother Brian got married, tying the knot with his college sweetheart, and thus taking the last of the unsecured Lynch boys off the market.

Also, this past Friday, as the family was embarking on its mass road trip to the wedding, my paternal grandfather Martin died at home at the age of 81, following a long battle with cancer.

I will, unfortunately, not be attending Convergence 2009, where I had been scheduled to sit on a panel on Friday, July 3rd.

Two drawings this time!?!??!!??! [02 Jul 2009|09:26pm]

Yup, did two for this particular ustream, which I also recorded (in two parts, because my internet died partway through). You can view it here (part 1) and here (part 2).

There's tree in my cleavage! [02 Jul 2009|06:39pm]

jademacgrath
[ mood | amused ]


 + And bark, leaves, and even a small twig, to be precise. Serves me right for harvesting the plums from the tree in the garden in a dress, I suppose. There were a few moment in which I feared that unstable ladder would just fall down leaving me hanging to a branch, but I survived to tell the tale and I left the higher branches to my cousins. I don't see why I have to be the only one risking her collarbone with that tree there!

 + Today my driving lesson didn't go that well. By this time I should be driving almost perfectly, and here I go making mistakes I shouldn't make any longer. Next Wednesday I'll have the test, and right now I'm not so optimistic anymore. Well, one way or another, I decided that after The Test I'll round up the girls for a pizza before I leave for the sea. It's been too long, and I miss my friends.

 + I've started Club Dead yesteday (book 3 in the Sookie Stackhouse series), and I couldn't be more in love. I've finished another vampire novel - this one by Nancy Kilpatrick -  and... well, I'd like the hours I've spent on that book back. Next time I go to the library I'm going to donate it, cause nothing in the world could convince me to read it again. 

Oh God, too hot to keep writing. Excuse me, I have to go and hide in the fridge XD Have a great weekend!
