Moderately lulz-y

I got a giggle this morning out of this article up on cracked.com, wherein they asked readers to send in Photoshopped versions of the inboxes of villains. I particularly like the Dalek one, and the one for John Locke of Lost.

Meanwhile, I shall note that I've been fairly quiet around here lately aside from book posts, but in general things are well. Work is good. Been working on adjusting my thyroid meds to improve my sleep; as a general Note to Self, I should remember that if I'm having trouble sleeping, chances are actually pretty damned high that my thyroid levels are off. *^_^*;; Last couple of nights I've slept better than I have in weeks. Let's see if I can keep that up, especially heading into surgery.

solarbird and I are hoping to go see the Lucy exhibit at the Science Center tomorrow afternoon, before it vanishes on the 8th. Most of the exhibit is apparently about the history of Ethopia and then you get to see the bones, but it sounds interesting in general. And I'd like to see the bones. For SCIENCE!

Tomorrow is also the day this month's Drollerie Blog Tour posts go up. So watch this space for that.

Sunday, there will be Jam.

And I have now purchased antonstrout's Deader Still, bringing the yearly tally of Books Purchased up to a scant seven. It would have been nine, but I couldn't actually find mdhenry's Road Trip of the Living Dead or Catherynne Valente's Palimpsest at Third Place. I shall have to punt to B&N for these!

Yep! Dara and I are going to have to disagree on this one. Books that are in the same genre as what you are writing can be considered 'research' because it's important to stay current and know what is going on in that area of publishing. I pretty much deduct anything I buy that involves art and imagery. I have a friend who is in theater who used to deduct all of his movie tickets for the same exact reason. Research.

Whether or not you (or Dara) feels comfortable with this or not is up to you. But most artists that I know do deduct for those sorts of expenses. You might think they are just entertainment, but they really are more than just that.

I think it'll be safer if for now we stick with the advice our accountant guy gives us. Again though thanks for thinking of me, I do appreciate it. :)
