stop complaining about writing

So on another note, in the "private life, stop complaining about writing" world, Tituba went to the vet this morning. She's been scratching her ears a lot lately, and holding them down like she's annoyed (makes her look a little like a black Yoda). So I knew there was something. She has an ear infection, poor little thing. She really hated the whole process of people poking her & getting blood drawn and all. But I feel a little better, although terribly guilty that I didn't do something about it sooner. The gunk that came out of her ears when the vet stuck a q-tip (kids don't try this at home) in there! Bleah!!!

I also finished up a series of "fun books" this morning. I'm going to review them for the website's next update, I think. Storm Constantine's Wraethuthu books are pretty fab. I got them based in part on Neil Gaiman's blurb on the latest one (since I love his work, I figured I'd like the stuff he liked-- a generally good rule, and the principle behind those "other author" blurbs on books, I reckon). If you can't wait till my rave review in the January issue of the zine, read for yourself: the first series and then there's the one out in hardback most recent addition to the series which I liked even more than the first trilogy. Probably because the fourth book deals much more with the feminine side of the "Har". Good stuff!! It's rich, in that way that makes you long for more when you're done reading it.
