Antics & Etc

Deadlineville here, so mostly this is a quick wave, but a couple of fun things from the weekend.

I was at the Books by the Banks festival Saturday, where I met many fabulous readers and other writers and got to catch up with some old friends. Many thanks to the excellent Joseph-Beth Booksellers, festival staff and the great volunteers. Also! There was a Teen Scene event with the local circus school and I got to do this:

Thanks to those who assisted me, both in staying upright and in grabbing the video and some photos. (Yes, I'm using Instagram a lot more now that I have a  phone that will, um, use the app without crashing.)

Annnd there was this, which made my yesterday:

Oh my gosh, first two reader reviews of the Lois Lane book--so happy-making (esp as I'm doing the spiffity pass). <3 pic.twitter.com/3L3R2dd0xL

*beam* And now back to work on said pass! If you're going to the Kentucky Reading Association conference, I'll see you there on Friday.

Ancient Grudge Match

I have no idea why the title background is gray at the beginning, but at least I figured out how to upload so the quality isn't total blur city.

(Also, since Christopher updated his blog again after a Million Years, I redesigned his page too. Go see and tell him to keep it up.)

They Were Always Disturbing

Dick and Jane, that is. (Via Karen.)

Nun vs. Gangster

I think there's a pretty good chance that the White Stripes will tap Meghan and Alex McCarron for their next video.

(And c'mon, give the brother's version some love too; only 39 views. For shame.)
