I think you are indeed doing your own bit of market reasearch for the aforementioned alarm. <BR/>I've seen your photo and you are looking more than a little preoccupied.

I'd need a government grant, definitely.<BR/><BR/>Keelamari, you're so right about the werewolves in Buffy. Oz really should have been better when he transformed. He should have looked better and been a more interesting character instead of just a savage beast. It was a blemish on a great show. <BR/><BR/>Amysue, I'm thinking of moving on to peaches, though I suspect I might just suffer the same fate with them, and find them blackened in the fruit bowl. Not that I actually have a dedicated fruit bowl. Still, it's a relief to know that Lonely Werewolf Girl preveted you from killing some annoying people. I have done some good in the world!Martin Millarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17179655815733439004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35151686.post-59272140718587923582008-08-04T03:28:00.000+01:002008-08-04T03:28:00.000+01:00Peaches do this too.

Of course, I also play an odd cat and mouse game with the chipmunks that eat my ripe tomatoes..I have to wait and pick them when they just start to ripen (too soon and they never ripen, too late and..well..they're gone). Some days it seems fresh produce is hardly worth the effort.<BR/><BR/>Lonely Werewolf Girl was not only amazing and wonderful and grand, but it saved me from killing a few really annoying people this past month. I'd smile politely, leave the room, grab the book and walk down to the beach and dive back into the story. Thank you!amysuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06573946457771247040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35151686.post-21361299205565600642008-08-02T06:11:00.000+01:002008-08-02T06:11:00.000+01:00Pears are gritty and weird anyway.

You're better off without them.<BR/>Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I am so veryvery happy I chanced upon "Lonely Teenage Werewolf" about a month ago in the bookstore. I am reading it right now and I think it may be my new favorite thing ever. I admit that I do have a tendency to hyperbolize, but I can't remember enjoying a book even half as much as this one since I read "Good Omens". Every character I find interesting (if not outright adore- Dominil, Malveria and of course Kalix come to mind), there isn't a sngle chapter which I start to read and think "oh, no, not more of this boring plot thread"...it's all got me hooked. And the best part is I'm about four-fifths done and I can't even guess how everything is going to wrap up! I also think that the way you describe the werewolves is pretty near perfect. As a longtime werewolf fan, one of my few pet peeves with "Buffy" (and you are also obsessed with "Buffy" and rhubarb crumble? It's like we share a heart or something) was how Oz turned into a hairy monkey-man thing. Just...no. Your werewolves are gorgeous. It also gave me chills how Kalix's eating disorder was affected by her transforming into a werewolf, it just rings so true to me. All in all, thank you for being fabulous, and I can't wait for the next Kalix book I hope you're writing!<BR/><BR/>--KeelyKeelamarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00820946233627791011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35151686.post-36607095358858509732008-08-01T12:42:00.000+01:002008-08-01T12:42:00.000+01:00Whilst in a state of recumbency on your settee why...Whilst in a state of recumbency on your settee why not invent your own wee pear alarm?

I'll try this. But I'm wondering if it will still ripen unexpectedly, and then go off before I remember about it?

Just to let you know that when it comes to pears as well as avocados that are not mature enough to eat, the best thing to do is to wrap the fruit for 2 to 3 days in newspaper. Leave it in a dark place and voila! After a few days is ready to eat!<BR/>regards!Alehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13223196338808644884noreply@blogger.com
