I have a title for the Bunny From Hell story, suggested by the Hubby, who is a genius, y'all. I'm...not sharing it, though. Because I'm mean. He also made a suggestion re: the ending, which I'm still mulling over. I may be posting it for the Concrit Group to tear into later today. I need to escalate the "creepy" factor before I do that, though.

The handsome and talented [livejournal.com profile] slushmaster has a poll up about snail mail vs email subs. Profic writers, go forth and vote and comment. You know you want to.

My gmail inbox remains empty. Woe.

"Lost" continues to rock my socks, y'all. That is some tasty tasty crack, and hey, dude who plays Ben? Here's your Emmy, man. Also, there's a new "Numb3rs" tonight, in case there's anyone on my flist besides [livejournal.com profile] bigsciencybrain who cares.

I have some new folks on my flist. *waves* I tag everything (mostly for my own record-keeping, especially as regards my fiction), so if there's a tag that piques your interest, click it and you can see everything I've ever written on the subject.

The Hubby bought a Dodge Durango yesterday, one of the old-style ones (because the new ones, although they have a Hemi, are butt-ugly). This may give him actual incentive to put the Willys on the block. I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, nothing will ever be as cool as the Willys. NOTHING. On the other hand, we're getting old and comfort is a premium. I just hope he builds the Durango up so we can actually go jeeping in it.

We talked some more about the aracari last night, and I'm finally coming around to the viewpoint that the Hubby is right: The Green Aracari is (very slightly) prettier than the Ivory-Billed. The beak is just way more colorful. Do I lose Wife Cred for admitting he's right?

No. It can happen!

For him, it's all about The Beak. And I'm starting to get that now. Interestingly enough, it's not a cost issue, although the Green is significantly less money than the Ivory-Billed. I honestly think that he'd feel the same way even if the cost was reversed. And those are really the only two we're interested in; the other species are just too big. "Big" being relative, of course--the Green weighs 4.4 ounces, and the Ivory-Billed weighs 5.2. The Chestnut-Eared, which has both a beautiful beak and lovely coloring, weighs 10 ounces. It's just a way bigger bird than what we want to deal with.

HOWEVER. I'm hoping that if one works out, we can get another. Because I'm evil that way.
