randomness, to-do
Back in January, Smart Bitches Trashy Books brought Cassie Edwards's plagiarism to light. Her publisher Signet finally dumped her today. Here's to them doing the right thing.

I wonder if we get to pull all of her books now. I wonder if I can be the one to do it. :D :D :D

~~

A teacher was recently found dead in a lake in Texas. His arms and legs were bound, he had tape over his eyes, and the Austin police are ruling it a suicide.

For future reference: If you're gonna kill someone, do it in Austin.

~~

Crafting is coming along decently. I'm still waiting on the normal cowries but am working with some super-shiny acrylic ones which are lighter and more even than the usuals. I have yet to see how they react to blacklight.

But here comes the fun part . . . finding a close-to-close hotel for ANext. Jeez, they sold out fast this year. If we weren't moving in a group of four this wouldn't be so rough.

Missions for today/tomorrow sometime:

  • start sewing another coin bra/panel skirt combo (eeeew, sewing)
  • mow some of the yard But not while it's raining
  • finish ch3 (original work)
  • play with fic
  • find eye pins for hair sticks
  • paint more hair sticks, general craft mess
  • play with yarn/make more cowry falls
  • Tekko wank report
  • work on dreadfall mess
  • garden $10 at Lowe's got me pond plants, two good-sized lilies in cream & rose, a six-pack of blue flowering annuals, and eight unbloomed tulips in red and orange. I am the best bargain shopper evar.
  • change fishtank water
  • mod the bunny cages into one

    Hrm, that reminds me of the musician that was found badly beaten and asphyxiated on gasoline. That was declared a suicide, too. Apparently, pissing off the mob counts as suicide. I think that was Bobby Fuller in Los Angeles.

    Addendum: Murdering people in LA is all right if Austin is too far of a drive. (Maybe this just applies to mobs, though.) :P

    Sadly, all I know about the West Coast mob is not to piss off Frank Sinatra and he's ten years in his grave now.
    Although, Zombie Mobster Frank Sinatra would be terrifying if worked into a rage...

    she indeed "takes" material from other works, but said she didn't know she was supposed to credit her sources. She then asked her husband to get on the phone. Charles Edwards said the author got only "ideas" from other books and did not "lift passages."

    I got nothing. WOW.
