*feeling the virtual hugs*

I have the best friends in the world. Or at least this hemisphere.

Thanks, guys. (specifically, scarlettina, house_draven, kradical, greeneyedkzin, kefiraahava, and arcaedia).

You guys totally rock. Which you already knew.

Just wanted to share that.


/dorky moment

warming up the signing hand, and fashion commentary

Hit some local bookstores and signed stock tonight. Waldenbooks only had one copy (boo!) but it was a mall store, so what can ya do? I spoke with a knowledgable and friendly clerk who said she would talk to her manager about getting more copies in for me to do an actual signing (yay!). The Borders at that mall (a stand-alone store) was better-stocked, and the signed and stickered copies will be placed up front. Yay Borders.

A lot more satisfying than signing media tie-ins or anthologies, indeed. And the reaction was really positive, which is nice for the first outing. Hopefully bodes well for the next month or so. Tomorrow, I hit the stores (including a B&N) in the other local-direction.


An aside: decided to do some clothes shopping while I was out. Tried on some great-looking suede skirts. Really sexy. Really, um, short. How the hell does anyone sit down in those skirts? I swear, there wasn't enough material cover both ass and crotch at the same time, if you did anything other than stand upright... Sexy is one thing, slut's not so much a look I want.

Pity. Another inch or so would have made the sale.


Oh, and speaking of fashon -- Bobby Flay, in that pimp-stripe suit tonight on Celebrity Poker, was an offense against color co-ordination eveywhere, and needs to be stopped. Can I get an amen on that?
