1. They've announced Stephen Colbert as the replacement for David Letterman - which is an interesting choice. The Colbert Report is pure satire. What will he do in the Letterman slot?

2. Doing quite a bit of sketching at night. With colored pens and pencils. And not drawing from pictures or photos or objects, but from my head. Haven't done that in a while. It's relaxing. And I'm actually good at it.

Drawing used to be how I relaxed. It's always come easily for me. Writing was harder. Drawing was easy.

3. I've fallen in love with the Kate Daniels series. The characters are fascinating, as are the themes, metaphors, and lovely tid-bits from various mythologies, religions and legends interspersed throughout. This has got to be the best world-building that I've seen in an urban fantasy or fantasy series in a long time.

Been a while since I've fallen in love with a series of books or anything culturally speaking.

Yep - we get long paragraphs describing the weaponery and what it can do. Most books? You just have a trusty gun or sword or staff.
