After talking about the demise of the Weekly World News yesterday, it dawned on me that the heroine of the book idea I’m working on right now has a deep, dark secret. While she’s a professional web designer by day, she has—a better paying—part time job as a writer for an online tabloid. Perfect for somebody whose town is suddenly crawling with weirdness. *g*
Speaking of weirdness, my satellite is still acting wonky. I thought it was fixed last night because all channels were coming through loud and clear. But my hopes were dashed this morning when I discovered things were back to the rude sort of normal where half the channels were experiencing “signal loss”. *sigh*
At least I can still watch Eureka on cable if need be tonight. The picture just isn’t as good. Well, I guess if that channel isn’t coming through on satellite at all, I guess cable will have the better reception. 
Reading: I’m still reading Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. It’s quite a bit different than the movie. They’re both good, but in different ways.
I bought Howls’ Moving Castle for the kids to read (when they are good with their schoolwork.) And it is quite different from the movie!
I like your idea of making your heroine a part time tabloid writer. It has a good feel to it!
Sorry to hear about your satellite. Hope they figure it out and fix it soon!
Stay cool, keep care of the ankle, and have a good day!

GACK! I realized I hadn’t visited you in THREE DAYS!
Sorry.
Hope your TV reception comes (came?) back in. I’ll try not to be so long before visits… but I’ve been a little busy.

Cool on your heroine’s moonlighting. And a nice way to pay homage to WWN!
