See the new poll? Is improved version of old poll!

Thanks to, Mr Moles, for suggesting that what I really wanted to know was which supernatural creature are we most sick of. You're a genius, Moles! I will make no attempt to guide your voting since I failed so abysmally to get ghouls over the top in the last poll. Though I will say that I'm sick to death of vampire love stories. Not vampires, just them as an object of desire. They're dead, people. Their flesh is cold. If vampires were realistically portrayed they'd be forever flicking maggots off themselves. Ewwww! For those not quick of eye---the poll is in the sidebar to your right.

Web stuff

So I finally got Scott's new look blog up and running. What a hassle that was! I always think it will be just an hour or two. Hah! Try several days of hassles. Especially as there was a migration of his site to a new server. Why is it always so hard? Anyways . . . It's up and I think it looks great. Go take a squiz and tell me what you think. Though if you have any complaints tell Scott, not me! All praise to Sadish Balasubramanian who designed the very nifty and flexible SeaShore template. I was planning a redesign here to go with the new book but the very thought of going through that again makes ...

New Poll (updated)

Because Eric Luper had the temerity to suggest that quokkas are not the cutest animals on the planet I have devised a new poll. It goes up exactly a day after the last one which I successfully managed not to break---so you were all wrong. Yay, me! I like having polls but I definitely need less buggy WordPress compatible software. The "How To Rewrite" post will go up as soon as I, um, finish, the book what I have to rewrite . . . And the manga/manhwa/graphic novels one not long after that. Promise! Update: Eric Luper jinxed me into breaking the poll! Oh noes. Oh well, at least the quokkas were ahead. But I had planned to leave it ...

Polls (Updated a lot)

So that I can better get to know what you, the reader, thinks, I have added a poll thingie to the sidebar. ((This was in no way a work avoidance measure. It is serious research!)) The first poll is about winter because I need to know if the total darkness before 5PM and constant cold and the only decent fruit & veg being apples and pumpkin is bumming out anyone other than me. ((I should be clear: it's only Northern hemisphere winters I hate. Sydney winters are lovely.)) Tell me I am not alone! That it's December and I'm still stuck in the Northern hemisphere fills my soul with despair. Here have some more quokkas: Lucky quokkas living far away in sunshine and ...
