how’s it gonna be?


*the painting i chose for my bookplate. it won
an honorable mention ribbon at the san diego
county fair! =) remember to email me if you
can’t make it to cali signings for a personalized
bookplate! pon.cindy@gmail.com

so i was flippant. i thought i never really get
sick and i’d kick this little cold thing in its prickly
rear and be done with it. how wrong i was. since
last post, i had canceled all social engagements
for the week, been to the doctor to get a bunch of
drugs, and stayed at home like a sick troll. =\

the nasty cold phlegmy cough wins.
i think i’ve been suffering from codeine
hangovers. today, i woke at 11am and spent
the morning watching third eye blind music
videos (so good! and why did i never know the
lead singer is hot?!) and bought a few sale items
online from anthropologie. =) so productive.

i feel like a lump of inertia. i know i should
rest–and i have. but i can’t help wanting
to tackle that giant to do list i have prior to
SILVER PHOENIX release next month! i’ve been
whittling away some–mostly online stuff like
interviews or website work. but i’ve got the
attention span of a rat hopped out on chocolate
coated cheese. so.

i think i’m on the mend, however. do wish
me luck! there’s too much to do and not
enough time!! eeee! i finished EVERMORE which
was fantastic (please note on the bottom right
column my reading list thus far this year. there
are links to goodreads.com and i’ve done reviews
for most of them) and now have moved on
to SKIN HUNGER.

also, been watching how’s it gonna be
video
all morning by third eye blind. love
it as a break up video. what’s your favorite
“break up song” of all time? there’s some
really great ones out there…

happy weekend, all! =D

    Eek, hope you get better soon! That flower is just lovely. You are so talented!

    Favorite break up song: “You Could Be Happy” by Snow Patrol. Hauntingly sad.

    Should we request the bookplates now if we want them, or wait til the book is released?

    Awesome picture! Hope you feel better — it’s a nasty bug :(

    Favorite break-up song: “Almost Lover” by A Fine Frenzy. It’s not as kick-butt-and-overcome-the-breakup as most songs, but I like the slow, ho-hum-ness to it.

    Third Eye Blind is one of my favorite bands! Other good breakup songs are Rest In Pieces by Saliva, I Don’t Love You by My Chemical Romance and The Kill by 30 Seconds to Mars.
