Just read Wings, by Namaah_Darling.

That is some very good erotica, I think. :-)

And, might I add, boy do I have a long way to go on that front. Wow.


In other news:

1) I had tea with the lovely Ami_B yesterday. She gave me a very intelligent suggestion as to how to solve my plot-hole problem in my YA novel. Yay! So I think I get back to doing something productive on that one.

2) I picked up a Really Cool Book called Am I Blue which is an anthology of YA short stories about growing up gay. It includes Francesca Lia Block and Jane Yolen, so I have high hopes for it. :-)
(I have read most of the first story. So far, cute, fun, good. But: The author used the phrase "less committed" to being gay. Which, as a bisexual, pisses me off. We should not be expected to 'pick a side'. /rant).

3) I registered with The Associate Group yesterday. They might actually find me some work! Which would be a very, very good thing, given that this is day two of my three days 'off' this week, and I haven't heard from either of my other two agencies. So here's hoping that Marina really *does* have me in mind for a couple of jobs. Because it seems likely. And most of their work is in the down town area, so that will be helpful. :-)

4) The manicure I had a week and a half ago? The polish chips easily. But it does not *remove* easily. Good-goggly-moggly. I had to take a freaking emory board to it just to get the nail polish remover to have an effect. It didn't even get all of it off!
Anyway, as a result of this (I wanted to get rid of the chipped polish so that I wouldn't show up for the interview looking sloppy), I ended up with nails that looked a bit like candy-cains.
Er.
Not really the look I was going for.
So, while getting my resume printed at Staples (it worked, hurrah!), I stopped by the Loblaws and picked up some new nail polish. The darkest I could find was some Rimmel stuff (the dries in 60 seconds (yeah, right) kind) in a deep, slightly blue-toned purple colour.
As it happens, it matches almost-dead-perfectly with my cute little cotton night gown. I seriously squeaked with glee when I noticed that. I mean, how totally girly, but still. Totally random and neat that it happened! :-D


Anyway. I've spent the morning poking through stuff on Women and Islam for the lecture I'll be doing on the 14th of February. I think I'll be making Maccaroni and cheese for dinner tonight.
Now to go and plan out some plot points. Whee! :-D

Tech Support? :-)

I seem to be having a slight problem.

I've been having a grand old time making blood and roses collage icons in photoshop (which I am slowly, slowly figuring out how to use).
Unfortunately I can't seem to upload them (to photbucket or to lj).

In addition, I've got fifteen icon-spaces, and I only seem to be able to access ten of them. Does anyone have any idea why this might be? (And if it's something really obvious, such as 'click on the "next" button, you twit', feel free to point it out. ;-)

Help would be appreciated. :-)

[Edit: Everything is fine, I got them to load. It's all good. New icons for me. :-)]
