misc and polltry

[lagilman]

The 3/4 readthrough of BLOOD FROM STONE continues. A UPS tag on my door tells me a package will be delivered tomorrow from Luna. I suspect I'd better wrap things up tonight, because that's probably going to be the line edit of FREE FALL.

TV: 'Pushing Daises' is delightful and I recommend it without hesitation. 'Life' still rocks. EtA: for those of us who watch 'Without A Trace?' Anthony LaPaglia is like unto a god, occasionally. (not that I approve of police brutality in men's rooms. unless it's turd-sucking scum who deserve it, of course)

Oh, and my feelings about the baseball games ongoing?

*yawn*


Meanwhile, looking over the comment-traffic in this LJ, it leads me to wonder...


[Poll #1066175]

(bugger, there's an error in the poll. Can't figure out how to fix it, sorry)

Hey I'm friend and I want to read this.

I really do enjoy your blog.

[hilleviw.livejournal.com]

None of your poll answers fit me...I came because you're a friend of a friend (debg - whom I shall see tomorrow). She had pointed me at a discussion with you. It was interesting. You write well, and often about things which interest me, so I've stuck around. Only after reading your LJ for several months did I pick up Retrievers. I enjoy them, especially PB, but the books don't compel readership of the LJ, nor vice versa.

*points* Stalker!

[hilleviw.livejournal.com]

I'm no stalker. I don't want to boil your bunny, torture your cat or have sex with you. Based on your descriptions of food, however, I probably wouldn't mind dining with you some time, however.

Hmph. What if it's more than one thing? ;)

Pushing Daisies is quite funny}:P

I came for the neep insights, whatever form of it. I don't know about the /rants/, but I like the political news.

Obviously I must find more news sources...

Well, foo. I want tickyboxes, 'cos several things apply in both cases!

[scarlettina.livejournal.com]

Nothin' in the poll about reading because we love you. But...but...but we love you! :-)

[equesgal.livejournal.com]

I love both "Pushing Daisies" and "Life"...but what is it with all the Brits putting on the American accents? I like to hear the real McCoy.

You migrated from sff.net over to here.

Once upon a time there was GEnie....

Now there's the huge splintering and spreadout... LiveJournal communities, blogspot, other such blogging communities, EZ board, various publishers have boards, there are yahoo groups, lots of authors have boards on their websites and communities based around threm, there are groups of authors in various areas with different authors doing a blog on a particular day.... it's impossible to keep track of what's where, who's who, what gets posted by whom when to what.

It's ironic, while the Internet and the Web have made it easier to contact people, the sheer number of people, sites, and the complexity involved with hundreds of millions of people on-line trying to sort through in an escaped lab experiment that was never designed for commercial use and for which the idea of security, malicious and/or greedy exploitive partipants, and just plain clueless wonders (who might not mean to be inept but whose actions, as with a particular character causing problems in Twelve Fair Kingdoms by Suzette Haden Elgin, have unfortunate fallout and ramifications far out of proportion to anything expected/predicted) who through their ineptness facilitate bad indexing and lots of noise making finding what one is looking for, a lot more difficult, time-consuming, and frustrating; were never expected or planned for or envisioned when ARPANET, which cancered into the Internet and Web over time, was designed and implemented.
