2. In case you missed the announcement, An Artificial Night is in the BSC Review Book Tournament Finals, and Toby could use your vote. Also, once she has conclusively CRUSHED HER OPPONENT, I can stop posting about this, thus freeing up your valuable display space for other topics, like the ever-popular "complaining about my cats."
3. I really enjoyed the newest Disney Channel Original Movie, Lemonade Mouth. I did not enjoy them presenting the first hour of the movie sans commercials without warning me first, as it meant I had not brought a soda, or a blanket, or the paperwork I needed to finish during the movie, before sitting down on the couch. I am told the book is better than the movie. I must now read the book.
4. Served at yesterday's brunch: potato cake. It's cake, made of potatoes, bacon fat, and bacon. HOW CAN THIS BE? The spirit of
5. I visited the Sacramento Shirt Shop, and plans for Wicked Girls shirts are now proceeding apace. I should be posting about it soon. Girl-cut shirts are available up to 2x, and we'll be able to do standard-cut shirts up to 5x, as needed, for no additional cost. Baby shirts are a different setup, and so would be a different order. Details will be forthcoming; I don't have them just yet.
6. I am solidly on target to hit 100,000 words on Blackout by Saturday. This is both incredibly exciting and incredibly stressful, since it means I'm coming closer and closer to the point where I have to stop setting things up in favor of knocking everything down. Considering what I have left to do in this volume, I'm starting to worry that the first draft may need more trimming than I thought. Since I am a perennial trimmer (better a late trim than a panicked plumping), this is okay, it's just surprising.
7. Zombies are love.
8. The Cartoon Network schedule for the rest of 2011 has been released, and Tower Prep is not represented. Here's hoping this is either a glitch, or they're about to announce moving Tower Prep to SyFy, where it could find an enormous audience and live forever.
9. I will probably celebrate hitting 100,000 words on Blackout by cleaning as much of my room as is physically possible and then writing the rest of "Rat-Catcher" in one feverish sprint. Don't judge me, this is how writers party hard.
10. Doctor Who comes back on Saturday. Saturday can't come fast enough.

Let him know that if (ha ha) he's looking for a high school to be interviewed by, I have one in Wisconsin that might actually combust.

Potato cakes

Mixing bacon grease in or cooking in bacon grease does sound like it could taste good. I like to serve with bacon and maple syrup (since I've met telynor).

If they didn't air Pokemon, we'd never watch the channel. And to be honest? We're recording and fast forwarding through the commercials and announcements for their new shows. Which? If fella and I keep looking at each other over them much more? Once the new season is done, the whole channel is off the radar. Full of awful and what, is the nice way to put it.
I'd complain louder, except it all smells too much like Quantum Leap and we all know how that ended.
Potato cake. Hmmm. Sliced or mashed?

Darn it.
Have not had a chance to watch the last episode yet. Now I wonder if I should if it's a cliffhanger...

I feel your Tower Prep pain.

There's pretty much a 0 chance of anyone else picking it up, since the creator, Genndy Tartakovsky, has packed up and moved over to Sony to work on a new project.

We have potato cakes down here, they sell them in the fish and chip shops, but I don't think they're at all the same things. I have a friend who swears by them as a hangover cure.

10. I'm worried it's getting over-hyped. And it occurs to me that it is really weird that I now live in a world in which it is possible to worry about Doctor Who getting over-hyped. Back when I was younger and still thought that 'Dalek' rhymed with 'Garlic' I would not have understood this concept.
