I'm glad only four people in the world have this URL because I don't have anything original or entertaining to say. It's going to be close to 100 degrees today, so I'm thinking that sticking close to home is a good plan for the day.

Tonight! Atomic Twister debuts on...some channel. Tornados and the threat of nuclear annhilation! Do movies get any better than that? Twister, Volcano, Godzilla, You-Name-It. I love me a disaster movie. Anyone else remember Mitch Pileggi in that killer ant movie? Anyone else in the world still have it on tape? Anyone else in the galaxy who has watched it more than once?

I'm jealous that Bitchcakes needs to know about Drag Queens. When I'm writing, my research tends to involve less esoteric material. Like right now, the exact dates of the Napoleonic Wars and what Florence and Venice were like, culturally and geographically, at the time. Hardly riveting stuff, you might say, but it amuses me. I am, for the record, researching a novel that I have no intention of writing. Let me stand up before the crowd and admit that My Name is Anne and I Am a Research Junkie.

There. Now we have that out of the way, right?

Because I'm likely to babble on and on about this novel idea and what I'm researching and I don't want any rude remarks about when the novel is going to appear or anything.

I don't need that kind of pressure in my life.
