Finally got a LiveJournal! Besides that, this week has been kinda dull, though busy. I’ve been trying to get as much “Blood of Snow” out of my system as possible, though I really ought to finish what’s left of the Prelude for “Keeper of the Soul”, so I can slot another category into the page – the “Self-contained short stories which are part of a longer series” section. I should also stick a “retired story” section in… namely for another story: “TwinSide” that has been unsuccessfully pitched to TokyoPop (don’t worry, “TwinSide” didn’t make the TP standard, but there is still good news). Right now, I’m trying to tie up all the loose ends while I wait.

What’s Hilarious:
Lately, the “Spike” column in the back of the Sydney Morning Herald ran a competition to give Michael Jackson a new name; ever since he appealed to the press to stop calling him “Wacko Jacko”. The column suggested “Psycho Mike-o”, “Multifarious Michael” and “Diana Ross”. The readers made some great contributions, including “Morphing Michael”, “Flaxen Jackson”, “Fantastic Plastic” (or Plackie Jackie for short), “Michael StraightJacketson”, “Nearly White Mike” and “The Artist Who Formerly Looked Like Michael Jackson”. As great as these were, the winner was “Janet Jackson’s Sibling Malfunction”, though I would have given “Flaxen Jackson” or “Fantastic Plastic” the grand prize.
