This Week's Bullet Points

1. Finally saw the film version of The Help. I liked it. I read the book two years ago. When first reading the book I pictured Viola Davis in the lead and lo and behold, they cast her. Also, the big house wherein Skeeter lives is spot-on to the house I had in my brain-head.
2. If I ever give up writing it will be because of all the damn promo. Ugh.
3. I finished SuburbaNights this week. Book three in my Jasper Lane series is finito! Go, Eric! Go, Eric!
4. The Killers have a new CD due out this year. OH MY GOD! IT'S BRANDON!! BRANDON, I LOVE YOU!!
5. Tomorrow and Saturday are big ol' Galley Proof promo days. I'll keep you all posted. I'm going to be doing a Good Reads "Meet the Author" thingy on Saturn Day from 1 to 6.
6. In my search for a new orthopedic surgeon, I have had my records sent to a doctor up in Greenwood. Fingers (and toes) crossed.
7. Why is it whenever anyone updates stories like the Oz books or Wonderland they're always dark and twisted? I don't mind a fresh retelling, but come on! After a while it's like "Oh, look. Another Oz steam-punk story."
