IE Begone!
So, after running Norton 2004, CWShredder, SpyBot, and Stinger, my IE is still riddled with crapola links. So I've officially switched to Mozilla. There are things I like more (the feel, more security) and things I like less (the backround on my journal now scrolls, the bookmarks need to be redone). But overall, I'll deal with it. I'm now a red dino kinda gal.
YA Novel Update
I also, thanks to my boyfriend, now have Microsoft Word. Which means I get to start writing. If you can see this post and you have asked to be added to my beta-team list, you have been added. I need an icon for those posts. :)
Christopher Pike-ishness
So. I did IM him. It was very brief-- I told him that I had no desire to come of as a obnoxious fan wanting his time. I just told him that I appreciate his writing and I wish him the best of luck... and that I'm looking forward to Alosha. Which, buy the way, he said will be delayed for two months due to cover issues. Bah.
I do believe I've read a book of his that I didn't like, though. The Grave. It seemed shoddily written as opposed to his other YA titles. Kind of as if he'd written as he went along. The plot was meandering, there was no consistent characterization... and I'm sorry. Pan? PAN??
lm, I'm dying to find out what you thought of it. I mean, it was an interesting corner to turn... it just didn't feel like it fit. At all.
Witchy Reads
On the actual witchcraft front, I'll be posting my thoughts on Venecia Rauls' (thesecondcircle) The Second Circle: Tools for the Advancing Pagan. I also picked up Patricia Monaghan's The Goddess Path from the library in hopes of finding incantation inspiration, and I got The Accidental Buddhist to hopefully help me with meditation.
In fictitious witchy reads, I've started Cate Tiernan's Sweep series. Would anyone be interested in reviews, possibly contrasted with Isobel Bird's Circle of Three Series? I'm thinking I might do a book review page on witchy reads, both fictitious and non-fictional. I've got my sights set on Alice Hoffman's Practical Magic as well.
As of now, off I go to check my account balance. I'm thinking some technology-oriented planet must be doing the wonky right now... let's hope my money deposited safely.
