Exciting! News?
Aug. 23rd, 2006 09:52 amThings have been really hectic at work, so once again I have very little idea what's going on with the rest of the world. But! Thrillingly, our first preview copies of my first issue of the magazine arrived yesterday. My name in the masthead: YAY! And quite a few stories by me, several of which don't entirely suck: DOUBLE YAY! It's the September/October issue (of Hollywood Life, okay? There, I said it, excitement overrides paranoia) and it'll be available soon! Buy it Leaf through it at the newsstand when you can!
Speaking of accomplishments, I don't know if I've ever mentioned this, but my father has for more than a year been working on a documentary about artist Edward Biberman. I've seen the final cut, and it's fantastic; he's now submitting it to festivals. He also has a website that just went live: Check it out here! See? Pretty! Cross your fingers for him, okay? =)
I've recently become addicted to LibraryThing—![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
siriaeve's fault, natch. It's a website that lets you catalogue your books online. I have 1010 listed so far, and I'm stopping there for now because I'm too afraid to touch all the books in my closet. I thought I'd start playing with the review function next; are there any titles you'd particularly like to see reviewed? I've marked everything I've read with the tag "read"—creative, I know. And that's about half of them. I'm not sure if that's good, or pathetic.
ANYWAY. Speaking of books, I finally got the prizes for the SGA Bulwer-Lytton contest mailed out last week—sorry for being so slow. And doubly sorry: once I got to the post office, I realized that I didn't actually haveliviapenn or wolfshark's addresses. Can you guys e-mail them to me (again)? I'll make another trip to the post office on Saturday.
And...that's it, I guess. For a post that was supposed to be all Exciting! News! this was very dull.
ETA: Oh, and I just remembered that I am supposed to be interviewing a violinist named Joshua Bell soon. Does anybody know anything about him? (I am, of course, about to do my own research, but I'm curious about your opinions, whether you've heard of him, etc.)
