Monday Miscellany -- the Tuesday edition

Time got away from me this weekend, primarily because it was basically summer outside and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to bask like a lizard in the heat. April in Ohio means both blizzards and 90 degree days.

1. Rummage sale people (meaning the ones who come to rummage sales) are simultaneously very nice and very demanding. Several of them were upset that my Craig's List posting did not have photos of the items for sale. I was unaware that there's an obligation to make my Craig's List posting pop.* But they were very good about telling us when the signs blew down.

2. One of the theaters here in town shows old movies on the big screen, but not classic old movies like Casablanca or whatever, but cheesy old movies like Clue and Ghostbusters. I'm really hoping for Adventures In Babysitting, which is the definition of a cheesy 80s movie. "Nobody gets outta here without singing the blues." Fingers crossed!

3. For my birthday, I received an iTunes gift card, so I now have $30.00 worth of credit on iTunes and no idea what to buy. This always happens to me--if I have a limited budget when I go into a store, I find 50 things I like, but if I have a big pile o' money, I can't find anything. This is why I keep a list of the books and music I want, so that I don't forget when I get money in my hand and end up buying the techno dance remix of "Livin' on a Prayer."**

4. I love spring and summer. I do. What I hate? Yard work. Seriously, it even SOUNDS boring. Yard. Work. It's boring and it's dirty. Also, there are bugs.*** blech.

* While I was there, I took a gander at the personals section of Craig's List out of curiosity and WOW. Just...WOW. That is some sketchy stuff there.

** Hey! It's a good song!

*** In fairness to the Great Outdoors, there are also bugs in my house right now. mid-April to mid-May is always the Season of the Spider in my house, when all the spiders come out and hang around in the creases of my crown molding. And I know they're good for you and kill other bugs and blah blah blah, but I cannot relax and enjoy Make Me A Supermodel on the TV when there are spiders hanging out above my head. I'm sorry, it's just not possible. They must die. To me, this is the Season of the Spider, to them it's Season Of The Crazy Girl With The Can Of Fast-Acting Raid.

I totally own that song! Such a mistake, I must say.

On Mary Sue

I recently read a Very Popular Book in a Very Popular Series, which I was going to talk about here until I read the second book in the series and realized--OH NO--that the main character of the book is a total Mary Sue. sigh. For those of you who didn't spend time in the fanfic world, a Mary Sue is a character who everyone else loves. She's a stand-in for the author (fanfic is written mostly by women, which is why "Mary Sue," although there are some Gary Stus out there as well).She's beautiful (but not too beautiful), she's funny, she's self-deprecating, she's smart, and all the other characters will fall head over heels in love with her and think she's awesome. (An example, if I wrote Friday Night Lights fanfiction, Mary Sue would move to town and become Riggins' girlfriend, and Jason Street would have a crush on her, and Lyla Garrity would like her and even Tyra would must us some grudging respect, and their lives would all be better for k...

Jay Is Not On Vacation

Despite my absence from this blog, I am not dead and/or on a beach somewhere. I wish I were (on a beach, not dead), but I am not. I would sing a song about how busy I am with work (true), and how busy I am with teaching (also true), and how busy I am with working on the new projects (true dat), and how busy I am with life in general (double true), but the real reason why I haven't been posting here is because I've been querying. For some reason, querying has made me especially leery of posting here. I've seen posts from agent blogs that talk about how they don't want to know that the author they're considering representing has been rejected by everyone else in the world. Likewise, I don't think it's good form for me to post about the responses I've received when the agents haven't given me permission to do so, although some writers do it. I know I wouldn't want to see my query letter posted on someone's blog and commented on, although som...
