Thursday Ramblings - March 24, 2011

Wow, it is already Thursday, again. I was ill for a few days, but I am much better now. I just heard on the news that there is more snow on the way. It is spring! I do not want any more snow!

I am currently reading Trickster's Girl, finally! In addition, I am half way through EFT For the Highly Sensitive Temperament. I have four other books piled on my desk that I have read, but I need to write up some reviews. I hope to get to them tomorrow. If an author or a publisher has requested a review for me, I would like you to know I will get to reading them as soon as possible.

I am also busy with two new short stories. One is a sci-fi story, which is new for me, and the deadline for the anthology is at the end of the month. The other story is an eerie tale of the afterlife.

I bought the DVDs Hereafter, and Piranha. I am a big Clint Eastwood fan, so I was excited to watch Hereafter. The movie is long and at times boring. I was hoping for more of a supernatural thriller instead of a drama. Despite the downside, the movie is directed beautifully and the acting is superb. It's not Clint's best movie, but it is worth a watch. Maybe I will watch Piranha tonight.

Nickelodeon released a sneak preview of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that will air in 2012. Twenty-six episodes have been ordered and will be made in 3D animation. Let me just say, I hope they work on the animation before it airs because I am not impressed by the preview.

Books in the mail this week: Monster High: The Ghoul Next Door by Lisi Harrison; EFT For the Highly Sensitive Temperament by Rue Hass; EFT For Procrastination by Gloria Arenson; Toys by James Patterson and Neil McMahon; Halo by Alexandra Adornetto; and The Morganville Vampires Volume 3 by Rachel Caine.
