a lazy day

I now have two opposing opinions on whether or not I need my wisdom teeth taken out.  Yes, I still have them, they're actually erupted and I eat with a couple of them.  They don't hurt and they're not causing problems — yet, which is the sticker.  What're they going to look like in ten years?  Twenty?  Crystal ball, anyone?  I've not had a good couple of days dealing with this.

I also turned in the revised draft of Kitty #11:  Kitty Rocks the House.  That may be another reason I'm feeling blah.  Floundering between projects is always kind of a rough time.  How about some random distracting links?

This mirrors exactly my experience watching The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo:  In five minutes.

Here's one of my favorite pieces of classical music:  Prokofiev's "The Battle on the Ice."

After the Golden Age will be out in mass market paperback in a couple of weeks.  Woo!

My brother is posting pictures of my niece, baby Emmy, on his blog.  Since people will ask:  yes, she is a huge baby.  9 lbs 14 oz, 21 inches at birth.  Rob and were both 10 lbs + at birth, so this didn't really come as a surprise.

And now, I leave you with a quote from Lord Byron:  "Who would write, who had anything better to do?"
