"the two towers" dvd

Jeff reads bedtime stories to Sara and Annie.


Had my last physio appointment yesterday. Funny how my attitude towards physio has changed. In the beginning, I wanted to schedule as many as I could in a short a time as possible; I was unable to do much else. Now, however, I would far rather be writing. Also, it's just not the same now that Nick The Physiotherapist has moved to Montreal. ;-) My arms are nearly better. Can type for longer without pain, only used ViaVoice for a small portion of this Blathering.

Sent out two magazine article queries yesterday, withdrew two from markets that haven't responded to old queries. I'm gradually working through my Filemaker database, where I have manuscript queries/articles cross-linked to submission histories and markets (thanks to my technonerdboy husband Jeff for setting up the database a long while back), following up on old queries, adding new ones. Didn't get a chance to work on my novel yesterday, so am going to focus on that today.

Had lunch with Amanda Foubister, who had a TVO Imprint film crew following her around at Torcon (she says she will let me know when the episode is aired). Amanda is conchair at Ad Astra next year.



Naoyuki and Mai, who are visiting my father
right now from Japan.


Jeff and I watched the special features on the Lord of the Rings "The Two Towers" DVD last night. Man oh man, are we both super-hyped about "Return of the King"! I'm also hyped about attending and performing at The Gathering of the Fellowship in December in Toronto, a Tolkien convention featuring a masquerade banquet and ball with live music (Urban Tapestry! :-)), various workshops, panels, galleries, a gaming room, a vendor's room, and a triple showing of all three movies.

Do check out Bill Roper's, Lyanne's, Paul's (and his follow-up), HeatherB's, AmandaS's and Lainiekin's journal entries in response to yesterday's "what if" poll. If you have a similar posting, please let me know, thanks.

Thanks to Tom Jeffers for playing our music on his radio show (AKF Studios/Prairie Ceilidh Show)!

Celebrities on our street last night: Joan Cusack for The School Of Rock and Meg Ryan for In The Cut.



I was too lazy to go downstairs to get a closer
glimpse of Meg Ryan when she arrived for the debut of her
Toronto Film Festival movie. Took this shot from my office
window instead. She's down there somewhere.
