More writing advice from Neil Gaiman. The teens are sharing more now than they have in the past. It's good, this sharing, and they're beginning to realize that having a plan (and a fair amount of research) means having a better story than having no plan and just throwing it together as you go. We're still working on revision, but I fear that is the never-ending battle.

LOLtrolls for Charlie.

More on Robert Rauschenberg. I am sad. Bed is one of my favorite works of art.

The number of dead in China is some 15,000. There are still 40,000 missing.

Chinese pandas aren't doing too well, either.

The Red Cross estimates the death toll in Myanmar could top 127,000.

As always, if you can make a donation to help those in need, please do. (At casa anneheart, we like Doctors Without Borders.)

Night Chills edited by Kirby McCauley. 260 pages. This is an utterly predictable and forgettable anthology of stories which fail to frighten or scare. Most disappointing. Not recommended.

Thousands are dead or injured after a powerful earthquake in China.

In other less horrific but still unpleasant news, I had my first migraine aura today. It lasted about twenty minutes and freaked me out something awful until I figured out what was going on. Everything I saw out of my right eye was curved up and sparkly. I took some meds and it went away (alas, the headache part was not so accommodating). I'm glad it happened during a planning period. Had it happened in the middle of math, things would have been not so great.

Also, gas prices here went up some ten cents in less than two days. That can't be a good sign.

Oh California and Florida, don't be so all over the news with your $4.00 a gallon gas prices. We'll be there by the end of the week, I think.  The two gas stations within a few miles of my house are still at $3.859, but the others a bit closer to civilization are up to $3.959.

I'd use public transportation if it ran in this area*, but it doesn't. There are bus routes about, but not in the town where I live, and those routes where they do exist don't take me anywhere I need to go.

Now, if only CT would push its sales tax back up to 8%. If we're going to be the most expensive place in the country to live, we may as well go all out with it.

* Of course, I must mention that my motion sickness pretty much guarantees I'd have to be fairly well drugged to take public transportation (especially buses - I don't do well on them at all), which means I couldn't drive if I had to, so I'd have to take public transportation. Self-fulfilling prophecy and all. Yay me.

I know LJ is a nice little hideaway from the real world, but it makes me a bit sad to see that no one on my flist has mentioned the disaster in Myanmar. There are at least 22,000 dead, possibly as many as 100,000. Reports have at least a million being homeless. It's not a good situation (and the country's government isn't making it easier, but still). Here at casa anneheart we've made a donation to a relief organisation and I hope you'll do the same, if you can. You can find more information here.

Rama Revealed (The Ultimate Encounter) by Arthur C. Clark and Gentry Lee. 466 pages. This is the fourth and last book in the Rama series, and as with the others I've read (all but The Garden of Rama, which I can never find at the library), this book brought a whole lot of not much going on done by a whole lot of people who were either Really Good or Really Bad.  The story follows those humans who settled in Rama and are traveling in it to ... well, they're not quite sure. It is a rather dystopian society run by the Really Bad, so the Really Good flee and eventually settle in with the only remaining intelligent species in the ship, the octospiders (the humans have more or less wiped out the other intelligent species in the ship, what with our being a hostile, egocentric and xenophobic race). There's war (not as exciting as it sounds) and alien interventions (again, not as exciting as it sounds). There's a sex scene that serves no purpose whatsoever, and a mystery that never is explained. The answer to life, the universe and everything comes along eventually, but the revelation isn't as exciting as it sounds. Yes, I'm afraid the book's on the teal deer side (though I did read all of it). I can't recommend the book, but your tastes may be different.

Dexter in the Dark by Jeff Lindsay. 303 pages. This is the third book in the Dexter series (upon which the TV series is based, though it's based on the first book only) and the only one I've read because it's the only one the library had. The main character is a self-confessed soul-less serial killer who only kills those who deserve to die for their actions, but in this book, the Dark Passenger which makes him a soul-less killing machine leaves him and he's left almost human. The writing is good, very funny at times, and I think most people who read my poor journal would enjoy it. The story, though, is terrible and unconvincing. The climax is rather anticlimactic and the end is predictable and unsatisfying. So - recommended for the writing ([info]dragoncaller would enjoy it a great deal, especially the police stuff, for both the main character and his sister work in law enforcement), but not for the story.

The high point of today? Telling a fifth grader that he can no has bukkit cuz he r not walrus. (He seemed amazed that I speak LOL and that I knew about the walrus/missing bukkit issue.)

Recent books:

Zen Flesh, Zen Bones by Paul Reps and Nyogen Senzaki. Wonderful book of Zen and pre-Zen writings. Highly recommended.

The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. 973 pages. This is not a great book - if nothing else, the author's obsession with breasts is annoying as anything and detracts from the story - but it's a good book in a soap opera way. It did make the Middle Ages interesting, and architecture, and its many faults (it has many) don't hurt the tale as much as they could. (Every hundred pages or so I'd stop and say, "That's not how they talked in the 1100s.") It is an Oprah Book Club selection (these tend to vary in quality - The Road was wonderful, The Deep End of the Ocean was not so great, She's Come Undone was good, and this is good, but in a different way). I know that might put some people off, but I still recommend the book.

Y tu?

All this has happened before. All this will happen again.

From the Jamie Bamber website linked to the left:

Jamie is currently filming a movie "Pulse 2: Afterlife" in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Synopsis:
"Pulse 2: Afterlife": The world has been reshaped by the invasion of ghosts via the wireless internet. Cities are deserted, technology has been destroyed and the few remaining human beings eschew anything electrical in order to avoid a confrontation with the soulless ghosts that now wander the planet. Most of the ghosts are doomed to a repetitive loop of something they did while they were still despairing humans (a man repeatedly hangs himself, for example), but there are some ghosts so locked in denial, they do not know they are dead. They continue to haunt their homes, wrapped in fear that their souls will soon be torn from them.

I wonder if the ghosts will have red flashing spines.
