Virtually His and Virtually Hers Song

I've forgotten about this video that I have! I love this song and it's one that I played many, many times while writing Virtually His and Virtually Hers.  Enjoy! But remember, Gerard is still MINE.

Post #2: A Facial Story

I found this video morphing all of Priscilla Presley's photos from baby age to now fascinating. The way the certain facial movements stayed the same through the decades intrigued me. Also, I was amazed how the talented creator of this piece somehow made the face morphed while it was turning in the other direction. It tells a story, doesn't it? What would you title it?

Genius. Watch This!

Simply, simply genius.

I love this, a combo of Fred Astaire dancing to Smooth Criminal. I can see so many echoes in MJ's video.

Thanks to John Scalzi.

Even Simon Was Enraptured

Just wow. There's a story here to tell. And she sang one of my most favorite song of all time, I Dreamed A Dream. This woman's voice made those lyrics come alive.

There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
Then it all went wrong

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
And they turn your dream to shame

He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came

And still I dream he'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.

The Singing Roofer

Did you know there is a Singing Roofer on Youtube? ;-)

I figure he should be showcased on the Writing Roofer's blog. LOL.



Yes, girls, here's the Roofing Archuleta. Just type in singing roofer and hear all three of his songs, even right there one on the roof.

What would we get next from these roofers, I just don't know. Nursing Roofer? Nah.

I Wanna Hear Your Uber Opinion

Here's a intro video of the coverage of the Romantic Times Convention from 2007 (last year). The film, Reading, Riting, and Romance: Taming The Alpha Male, will be shown in its entirety in the Cut Film Festival in San Francisco next spring.

Let's hear your thoughts of this little video.





And oh, for a good laugh, you can see my beautiful back at 4:04 when Mr Romance 2007, Jason, gave me a rose and kissed the back of my hand. Tsk. Badjenn.

What An Uber Waist

Meljean and Vanessa are obviously evil, evil influences to my writing time. They mention one thing and I'm off to "research," spending precious time staring boggle-eyed at crazy stuff like, this time, corsetted waists.

I now know why there weren't too many turn-of-the-century Victorian misses running off with rakes in our romances. I mean, imagine wearing this:

and jumping on horses to rush off to Lord So and So's mansion next "door." Why did we let them bind our feet and waists? I'm mystified.

Yet, some of us do it willingly. Here's a short vid on the world's smallest waist and yes, the lady has a fifteen-inch waist at SEVENTY years old. She loves it:

Dude. Ouch.

Notice she speaks very, very slowly, as if she's afraid if she gets too fast or excited, she might faint from the exertion.

Fifteen inches, man. Have you checked that out using a tape measure?! How could one eat three meals a day with that small a waist!

At the height of MY slimness in my late teens and early twenties, ahem, ahem, I measured at 21 inches. I'm now A LOT more wide. Cathie Jung, the woman in the video, started her corset-wearing when she was in her forties, after having her babies. So, uh, if ever I get bored and want to move my kidneys and liver around, you know what I'll be trying out. There's hope for all of you here to achieve 15-inch waist perfection yet ;-P.

Do you remember your slimmest waist measurement once you hit adulthood?

Uber Author Getting Ready

Tomorrow I head out to Dallas, TX, for RWA. 2000 wild and crazy romance writers and readers in hot and humid weather. Yikes.

I'm using AirTran instead of Delta but it all goes through Atlanta airport so we'll see whether it's Delta that's always jinxing me or Atlanta ;-). The bad part is that the first couple of nights, I won't be at the same hotel since it's all filled up, so I have to pack my bags twice, gah.

I always check my digital camera before I go for these big-event trips, so here are some latest photos of my furbabees:

That's my oldest, the King. He's eighteen and I'll be worried about him every day in Dallas. He's a sweetheart and doesn't act his age. Still, he's taking to napping wayyyyy too long and I look at him and want to spend as much time with him as I can, you know?

These are the rest of the mutant poms. As you can see, they aren't picture-shy ;-). They look well-behaved, but they aren't. In fact, they all tried to climb into my suitcase yesterday and left white fluffy hairballs all over it. Grrrrrr.

Sniff. It's hard for me to leave my furbabees at home.

For a good laugh today, one of the girls in my Yahoogroup sent me this:



Heh, some wereturtle lovin', anyone? LOL.
