California, Cats, and Contests

California

I’m in California, guys! Been here since Saturday. And … nothing big to report here. I’ll probably post some pictures next week (as in the week after this week). Stay tuned for that.

Cats

I admit ‘cats’ is completely random, unless you count the one sleeping behind me on the couch. Which is my bed at the moment. His name is Bruce – he’s my sister’s – and he bears a ridiculously strong resemblance to Garfield.

Contests

This is what you’ve all been waiting for, right? You all were patient, looking at my Californias and cats, when this was really what you wanted to read about.

Well, I shan’t disappoint.

As you remember from the spotlight, this contest is a guessing game … see a title, tell me what it’s about. Many valiantly tried, but only three can win … so I had to narrow it down to the following winners.

The three titles were Cincinnati, The Lifeblood of Essie Farjon, and Potato Picker.

Third Place

For her valiant efforts in the field of guessing, Lana won third place in this contest. For Potato Picker, she guessed:

Oh gosh, I even read some of Potato Picker! But I can’t find it now, so I guess I’ll just have to go off on memory…eep. I want to say that it was during the potato famine in Ireland (but another part of me is telling me that’s totally not true and I feel like it’s in America) and there’s this girl who is forced into an arranged marriage with this other guy. And they get married, and, um, potatoes bring them together. (Wow. Someone who didn’t even know what it was about could have done better than that.)

That was fairly accurate, but as you can see, she cheated a bit, ergo third place.
