I used to have all the Lone Wolf and Cub films on DVD, but I gave some to my nephew. I'll need to check what I have left, and find some quality time to watch them again. Wonderful!

You got to go to an Il Divo concert? You're a very lucky woman, thanks for sharing some of the memories - more or less!

As for coming up that way next month, I'm afraid our cruise got cancelled due to some personal issues that my cabin mate had to deal with. We're hoping to reschedule one of these days!

I wish I could sing such beautiful melodies.

Hi Everyone -

I'm still recuperating but made it into my day job for the last two days of this week, at least.

Just a note about my personal reaction to acupuncture:

Because I'm being treated for lifelong immune problems and chronic pain, my body reactions are as large as the originating problem.

My husband also receives acupuncture treatment and never has the sorts of reactions that I do.

I'm pretty sure I'm on the verge of turning a major corner, and so this latest reaction is a price worth paying.

Goodness. So I guess this weekend is about restin...

Goodness. So I guess this weekend is about resting and recuperating?

I've never done acupuncture either but if it would help my aching back I'd be all for it!

Great set this week, I am particularly fond of Madonna's "Die Another Die"!

Travis, I've recalculated my totals with the Russian series, adjusting it to take into account the number of episodes and the North American season equivalent.

2012-05-14T08:51:00.516-04:00

I have never listened to any of these songs .. too much "Prince" when I was younger, not enough world music ...

Cool choices Julia ... was interesting to listen to them!

Satisfying.

My introduction to bossa nova music was Garota de Ipanema. And I've always enjoyed Sergio Mendez.

Good stuff.

Oh yeah, I love the Bossa Nova too. :)

2012-05-11T11:51:38.593-04:00

Lived through the whole Bossa Nova craze of the 60s and even saw Jobim and Getz at a small jazz club in San Francisco in 1962. These are still among my favorite pieces of music.

2012-05-09T16:10:51.764-04:00

Actually, Alice, I've collected all of the back story that I've posted for Weekend Writers Retreat and The Serialists to make a full-length novel out of it.

So today's installment is the end of Book One. Book Two is in work-in-progress mode.

I'm planning to return to my vampire series to get Book Two of that storyline released by the end of the year.

Then it will be Scorpius' turn for Book Two, until I have three books for each.

An excellent ending, even though I'd love to read more.

Is this where the book begins?

2012-05-05T15:46:26.451-04:00

This is a great Set of music, but I hear something different in my head when I read Scorpius. As you know, I'm really looking forward to the release of this story. I don't know how I'll be patient waiting for the next installments in the trilogy.

I guess about as patient as I am waiting for the rest of St Sanguinus!
