My triolet, "Into the West," is available in the latest issue (#3) of The Shantytown Anomaly, along with some other really good genre poetry and stories. It's only $3; pick up a copy. You won't be disappointed!
Also, I may have an opportunity to do some faith-based pro-military writing, which I'm excited about. More details as things firm up.
Everything Else
So, I've really been looking forward to the new season of Battlestar Galactica. Hubby and I watched it last night and...well, we were disappointed. Even aside from the blatant analogy to the war in Iraq (I thought Ronald Moore was producing this, not Michael?), it was sort of plodding and obvious and just not everything I'd hoped it would be. It did have a good cliffhanger ending, so I'm not tuning out by any means, but I hope future episodes will be a little less heavy-handed.
In other news, we were planning on getting built-ins for our library, but plans aft gang agley, so now we are going to be picking up four sets of 6' tall bookshelves and assembling them ourselves (about $2000 cheaper than the built-ins), which means I have to clean up that room. Unfortunately, YB has been using it as a playroom, and he may not be to happy with having to share it with a few thousand books. Guess we'll find out.
Interesting thing #30: My mother wanted to name me "Brandywine," after Tolkien's river, but my grandfather objected, saying people would call me "Booze." While I'm not sure I really care much for my mother's second choice, at least the only thing that rhymes with Marcy is "Parsley."
