Weekend Update

1. I’m frustrated that I can’t seem to watch Sharktopus on demand. I’ve seen the trailers and it’s chock full of ridiculous. The kind of movie where you just sit down with some friends and popcorn and laugh. I don’t troll the TV enough to catch it when it’s on the Syfy Channel, and it’s a shame, because I think it has the potential to be a B (or C) movie classic.

2. My school’s football team advanced in the state playoffs last night. They’re in the final four; it’s the best they’ve ever done. I won’t get to announce anymore, though, since it must be in a neutral location and I’m not a neutral announcer.

3. Going to see Harry Potter at some point this weekend; kid is looking forward to it, to put it mildly.

4. Author Stacia Kane put up a great post about copyright and if you’re a writer (or a reader) you should check it out.

5. My webmaster dude (IT term) is working on my site and what I’ve seen of it so far is pretty spiffy.

6. For two whole days this week, I had nothing to grade. It was awesome. But now I have a giant stack of essays to look over, so I’d better get to it.

7. All three books now have their cover art up at Amazon! And (ahem) they’re available for preorder! :)
