Happy New Year!!

Here's wishing everyone a happy and safe new year's eve!!


Until next time...

The ideal men's room

I thought this was great! But if men's rooms looked like this, I think some boys might have a problem actually going to the bathroom. Either that, or we'd be sitting alone at the restaurant table most of the night. :-)

Until next time...

Finally in the 90's...

Yes, it's true...I FINALLY have a cell phone. Can you believe the jump to light speed I just made? From the 80's to the 90's in just one day! I never thought I'd like, want or need a cell phone, but low and behold, I played with that little bugger for like FOUR STRAIGHT HOURS on Christmas! I put info. for people I haven't talked to in two years into that bad boy, for the shear fun of it! Now all I have to do is find a ring tone that doesn't make me nauseous, because the ones that came with the phone are awful! :-)

So how about you? What was you coolest gift?

Until next time...

THOUGHT THESE WERE HILARIOUS!! :-)

Kudo's to wookie foot for having this on their website! www.wookiefoot.com
Until next time...

Well, at least now I know...

I can't believe I never heard this until now!! One of my all-time favorite television shows, KINDRED: THE EMBRACED, (about a clan of vampires struggling to co-exist with humans and each other), was cancelled after one, knock-out season and I never understood why...until today. The hottie vampire prince Julian Luna, portrayed marvelously by actor Mark Frankel, died in a motorcycle accident that same year, making it impossible for the story to continue.

For those of you, not fortunate enough to have seen the show, here is a picture of the late, talented actor Mark.

The entire season of the Kindred is available on DVD at Amazon. There are many familiar faces and wonderful performances, in a genre one hardly ever sees done, much less done so well. I highly suggest you check it out...it's worth every penny.

Until next time...

Tamagachi Nightmare!

Okay, so my daughter really wants a Tamagachi for Christmas. Well, unbeknownst to me, EVERYONE wants a Tamagachi this year!! I went to four different stores yesterday, and they were all sold out! HELP!
Tamagachi, WANTED!! Dead or Alive!


Personally, I don't get the whole virtual pet craze? You have to take care of it 24/7, during school, the middle of the night, even if your sick...Geesh! And I thought puppies were bad! Here's hoping I find one before Saturday!
Wish me luck, bloggers!
Until next time...

Bad Sex?

Okay, I've been nattering about his since yesterday, so I had to post it here.
This link will take you to the Literary Review's Award for the WORST sex scene. Yes, I said worst...and boy do I mean it! These passages are horrendous! And people think we women romance writers are bad. Well, these offenders, most men, beat us hands down!
I especially "loved" the one about the 'Lobster'. If anyone can explain it to me, please try!!

Last Prison Break until March?

Say it isn't so!
Alas, my sources, (who have been wrong a time or two), say it's true. {{{sob, sniff}}}
But, even if they are wrong, (which wouldn't surprise me), I read they are giving P.B the kiss of death...moving it to another night and time slot.
This is a practice of the National Broadcast System I just do not understand. It has caused the demise of more decent shows than I can even begin to name...Fastlane, Arrested Development, The Kindred...to name a few. I only hope that Michael, Lincoln and the rest of the gang can tuff it out, because Prison Break is one of the best shows I've seen in...well...since Lost's debut last season. :-)
In honor of what could be the last show until March, I've posted some pics of my favorite inmate. Enjoy!

"Kiss me right here on my tattoo."

"Look at me. I want you. Only you."

Hehehe. :-)
Until next time...

First of all,

I'd like to thank "Anonymous" for mentioning that Hans Matheson was indeed in PBS's The Virgin Queen...just a week later and a character different than his fan site had posted. GRRR.
I caught the tail end of it though, and managed to tape his delicious mug for future drooling purposes! Thanks again "A"!! :-)

Second, in celebration of Sawyer and Kate being reunited, (hopefully!) on LOST tonight, I'm posting hottie Josh Holloway. Enjoy!

....................."Saddle up, Cowboy. It's ridin' time. Heeya!"

Until next time...

Finally!

My hubby finally read the unedited copy of my fantasy romance novel, A MAGICAL ENCOUNTER...release date 2007.
He LOVED it!! Said it was the best romance novel he's ever read. And yes, I've made him read at least five-including my all-time favorite one.

Not only did he say he couldn't put my book down, it almost made him cry. He liken's it to Lord of the Rings, because of the evil beings and elves...but with sex.
Elf sex. :-)
Is there any better kind? :-0
To celebrate my hubby's wonderful review, I've posted the ultimate hot elf, and muse for my hero, Legolas.

Enjoy!

Until next time...

What's up?

Okay, I'm kinda ticked off today. Last night I stayed up late to watch the Virgin Queen on PBS...and you know what? NO HANS! Not even a cameo. Can you believe it? I was royally cheesed off. So I stayed up even later watching Dr. Zhivago to get my Hans fix for the night. {{{sigh}}} he is sooooo wonderful in that movie. I adore Kiera Knightly too.
Anyhoo, if anyone stayed up late to see Hans as Robert at my behest, I apologize. But know you weren't the only one duped. And if anyone actually liked the Virgin Queen, feel free to rail on me for hating it. :-)

Until next time...

November 13, 2005...The Virgin Queen

Not me! Elizabeth I.
Masterpiece Theatre, on PBS, is airing the first of the two part series, THE VIRGIN QUEEN, tonight. Now, normally this wouldn't be Blog-worthy. But there just happens to be the cutest little "piece" on the Masterpiece show...Hans Matheson. The pictures below are from his other PBS stint, playing the lead in DR. ZHIVAGO. Mmmm Mmmm Good!
Tonight he plays the Queen's life long love interest, Robert Dudley...Earl of Leicester.
Enjoy the pic's, and the show!



Until next time...

November 5, 2005..."Sweet intoxication"

Thanks to Ashley Kath-Bilsky, fellow writer and "Lady in Waiting," I can post these delectable pictures of my favorite opera ghost...better known as Gerald Butler.

"Shh..just follow me into the bedroom.
I have something I want to show you."

"Come. Sit on my lap and tell me what you want for christmas."

Let's all heave a collective {{{sigh}}} and give a big shout out to Ashley for supplying these
photos! For more on this handsome Scotsman, visit her wonderfully designed site

November 4, 2005..."It's Friday night...

...And I have to work all weekend." Wait. That's not how the song goes. Oh well?

Today I am working on finishing my second book, THE MARQUIS AND THE MISTRESS. So far, so good. I'm on chapter nine, approximately 50,000 words in. I'm scheduled to have it completed and ready to send out by December 30th...my Grandpa's birthday. He passed away a few years ago, but continues to be my inspiration. ;-)

Anyway, tonight is Friday!! They are having a Hollywood inspired wine tasting at our local liquor store...Francis Ford Coppola, here we come! I've already bought the cheese and crackers, so all we need is a few bottles of the good stuff. I can't wait to relax with some good friends and good wine.

Oh and I'm finally getting my hair highlighted tomorrow. "Bye-bye" boring bankers wife brown! I'll post a picture on Sunday for y'all! Have a great weekend!

Until next time...
