kradical -- *wibble*. Really. Hearing that on the radio? I felt my brain start to fizz. And not in the "I spent a lot of money to get that sensation" way, either.

Got a lot done today. Most of it unutterably boring (there is nothing quite so snooze-making as watching a writer toil) and some little of it unspeakably silly, so I hsall neither utter nor speak but merely say that Curse the Dark is now available on Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.ca. Yay!
Oh -- and while the highlight of last night's television viewing was, as ever, "House" (the old woman who was exhibiting Fannish Squee as a symptom is a moment that should be noted), PAX's "Young Blades" actually wasn't bad. It wasn't good, no, but... imagine "The Young Riders" crossed with what "Queen of Swords" should have been, and you'll get the idea. Besides, Boxleitner. You know I'm there, for as long as it lasts. Even if they do have him as an *ugh* blond. With a soul patch. Some of you know my feelings about those. *shudder*

Secondly...um, since you've mentioned Queen of Swords....you wouldn't perchance have been a Highlander fan too? (Sorry, if you've mentioned it before, but I'm new to neighborhood.)

(and one of the many left saying "if you'd just given us the Joe and Methos show, dudes, instead of Raven-whosis, nobody would have gotten hurt...")
