It is the time of year when I get very excited about upcoming movies. Sherlock Holmes is the top of my list, because a) I really enjoyed Snatch by Guy Ritchie, and b) I am queer as a glass doorknob for that delightful Robert Downey Jr.

Also, I am actually a bit excited about seeing Avatar, which was not the case after I first saw the trailers. But the more I hear about it, the more interested I get. It's not first on the list, but it's on there. Has anyone seen it? What did you think?

(Also, A Single Man is so good, and you should see it if you can.)

The beguiling in Toronto now has signed copies of the new book, and the old book, and Overqualified, if you live in Toronto and were hoping to get someone a signed book!

(It is also, of course, available to order online here.)

Why do I do these things?

I'm incapable of being anything resembling what I want to be.

i'm bored so i decided to write a x-mas wishlist. I'm an expensive bitch.

so yeah, whoever wants to drop a couple grand on me, all these things would be a great start! :D

I've been rewatching the new Dr Who series, starring David Tennant, and oh god. How does a television show make me get misty over people in big rubber alien suits? How does it create a sense of majesty and tragedy about a time traveler, and make me care about a robot dog in just one episode? (you're a GOOD DOG. 'Affirmative.' AHHHH) I think maybe I've gone soft in the head.

Looking for a Christmas gift for the independent free-spirited lady in your life? The last time I looked, my novel Overqualified was something like #20 in "Literature / Single Women" over at Amazon. I have no idea how that sort of thing happens, but when I read that, I walked around all day winking at ladies on the street. As you do.

The TV show Hustle has me wanting to become a professional con man and pickpocket. What could go wrong? It's sort of the opposite end of the spectrum from being a super-villain, which has been another dream of mine for a while now. Do you think it would ruin my career if I kept getting arrested for picking pockets?

Was just looking through BlackBoard today and noticed that my course selection over the last few semesters paints a pretty telling picture of myself:

JUS 200: Serial Killers
TCL 485: Chicana and Latina Writers
THE 220: Principles/Dramatic Analysis
