Authors! Have a book out? Are you under contract for publication? Join in the hop for a great way to network your blog and let readers know who you are!
Here from the barbeque, I love the theme of your blog. I'm also a child of the eighties, a time of great music, big hair, shoulder pads, and great night time soap operas like Dallas and Knot's Landing. Do you remember the "Who killed J.R. sensation???" Anywho, I look forward to reading more of your posts.
Hey Andrea! Thanks for coming over---nothing like the 80s, huh? Who Killed JR! You know what's funny? I totally remember the sensation but I cannot for the life of me remember who killed JR? They shot alternative scenarios didn't they? Who was it in the end???
No, Bear Monk, you may tell yourself you've grown out of Duran Duran, but that's like saying you don't secretly long for George Michael's big come back. It shall always be a part of you.
Your comment makes me laugh though because in one of the opening lines of my book, even the main character was lying to herself: "By this point, Jen had long shed the more mainstream Journey, Duran Duran, and Wham for the new wave stylings of the Cure, the Smiths, and Echo and the Bunnymen."
I've come across your blog thanks to Karen G's BBQ!!! I look forward to following you!
Duran Duran is a fav of mine!!
How cool of you to do such a creative Blog Hop!!! I'm definitely a fan. Look forward to hopping around, even though I don't have anything contracted, at least I can meet some new peeps!
Well, I'm glad I chose THIS Monday to include the Duran Duran song then. :) Please do hop along---the idea is actually Lisa Sanchez's and I am lucky enough to get to glom on.
DUDE! Thanks so much for the "New Moon On Monday"! Love that, man. Love it! Thanks also for following my blog - I'm posting an award for you over on it later this morning :D Great blog!
Yay, today's the day for another of Alex. J. Cavannaugh's famous blogfests. I'd like to thank him not only for hosting, but for keeping it simple & fun---coming up with this list and looking at posters of my most favorite movies turned out to be quite a cathartic exercise. I hope you found it to be the same (assuming you were in need of catharting). Thanks, Big Al. These are in the order of my affection for them: 1. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl 2. Raiders of the Lost Ark 3. Star Wars: A New Hope 4. When Harry Met Sally 5. Return of the Jedi 6. The Empire Strikes Back 7. Toy Story 8. Mystic Pizza 9. Goodfellas 10. Jaws I'm allowing myself two more because I think it was really good of me to count the original Star Wars Trilogy as three separate entries: 11. Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring 12. Pirates of the Caribbean: D...
Just when I was in dire need of something to break me out of my funk and get revved up for the new year, along come Suze and M.Pax with an invitation to co-host a most excellent bloghop adventure! Enough looking back upon the past that was 2012, we're jumping forward to 2023. Your adventure instructions are here: You're up before dawn on a Saturday when the doorbell rings. You haven't brewed your coffee so you wonder if you imagined the sound. Plonking t he half-filled carafe in the sink, you go to the front door and cautiously swing it open. No one there. As you cast your eyes to the ground, you see a parcel addressed to you ... from you. You scoop it up and haul it inside, sensing something legitimate despite the extreme oddness of the situation. Carefully, you pry it open. Inside is a shoebox -- sent from ten years in the ...
(First paragraph modified to first person from Suze's lovely words) I'm up before dawn on a Saturday when the doorbell rings. I haven't brewed my coffee so I wonder if I imagined the sound. Plonking the half-filled carafe in the sink, I go to the front door and cautiously swing it open. No one there. As I cast my eyes to the ground, I see a parcel addressed to me ... from me. I scoop it up and haul it inside, sensing something legitimate despite the extreme oddness of the situation. Carefully, I pry it open. Inside is a shoebox -- sent from ten years in the future -- and it's filled with items I have sent myself. Each item is contained in an envelope. Two envelopes are blank, but scrawled across one, in the eerily familiar penmanship that only I can accurately decipher, are the words: "The solution to the thing you're worrying abo...
