TRAMBLINGS...
"ALL I WANT IS WHAT'S MINE, I DON'T CARE WHO I HURT."
What's happening? Much of the same on this end. The Crown Prince, Kobe and I have been out on the picket lines. When we arrived at Paramount Studios today, a couple folks said, "Hey, there's Strike Dog." He digs it. This is a weird time. I support the strike but I've been completely out of sorts since we walked. I keep my headphones on at all times (even in the house) because music helps me keep my equilibrium.
I've been making so many CDs (can I just call them Mix Tapes) for friends that one joked that I should just DJ during the strike. This weekend I put together a slow song mix but it comes with a disclaimer and a release form. I'm not paying third party child support. Just saying. If you want one, email me and I'll send it to you without a song list. You just have to trust.
Ayway, this is what I'm listening to on the strike line. I reload the iPod everyday but this is the Official Strike Mix. There's a theme in there somewhere which would explain the heavy rotation.

So, in addition to keeping up (slowly) with FIRST NOVELS I also participated in a very cool thing called WRITERS READ. Here's the SECOND ONE. And my SHELFARI BOOKSHELF continues to grow. Currently, up to 1900 books and I didn't cheat. If I haven't actually read the book then it's shelved under READING LIST. I don't own everything on the main shelf (my house would collapse) but I have read everything on the list. I spent six years as a book reviewer so I went back to find old articles and assignment sheets. I am also anal enough to keep an Excel (I mis-typed that as exile) file of books I've read. Anyway, take a look and join. It's free and it's a fun way to kill time.
Can't tell if the folks at mediabistro were being flip or supportive but I found THIS REFERENCE. In the interest of the holidays, I'll believe they're being supportive. If not, well I got two cheeks below the equator...
Don't mind that last sentence. Just feeling a little funky.
Until next time...
