Back Fence Ramblings

• 15:10 @jchutchins The Shining? #
• 15:12 Flare-up of itch/swelling in both eyelids. OTC allergy meds do nothing so far. With health problems, BB looking like more a no-go than ever. #
• 15:25 @celticlibrarian Oh dear... If you're audio-video-capable, all I can offer is Chilly Down from the Labyrinth: bit.ly/4hUUS #
• 15:30 @celticlibrarian If not, I've got my iTunes playlist of Catchiest Songs Ever up and there's a whole selection of possible alt. earworms. #
• 15:31 @celticlibrarian Not even sure they are allergies; OTC allergy meds do squat and this is shiny-new. But thanks; it's irritating. Literally. #
• 15:34 Sore and itchy eyes or not, at least I can do some work on Chapter Twenty, if in spurts. #
• 15:40 @celticlibrarian Well, for anyone stuck at work, Martha and the Muffins' Echo Beach is always a good one... #
• 15:52 @celticlibrarian ...Okay, now I feel old. #
• 15:54 @celticlibrarian If you say so. Though in terms of catchy eclectic music, I MUST point you in the direction of Me Mom & Morgentaler. #
• 15:56 @celticlibrarian Obscure indie demi-ska band that only really existed in Montreal for a few years in the 90s. Awesome, though. #
• 15:57 @celticlibrarian As for the damp washcloth, I have one of those gel eyemasks. Works when it's on, itches worse when off. Thanks, though. #
• 15:58 @Asmenedas @celticlibrarian Sounds like a good idea to me. I should send you a mix compilation someday, for the truly eclectic. *g* #
• 17:17 I think I may go unlock Paladin. Just 'cos I can. At least, I think I can. #
• 19:00 Nearly done unlocking Paladin. Just need to trek out to Davoi. First, need to work out a) where Davoi is and b) if I have a map of it. #
• 19:36 Located Davoi entrance. Got map. Hate Davoi. However, can has Paladin! #
• 19:36 Just in time for dinner, too. #
• 20:42 There has been food. Now I will maybe level Paladin a bit. Expect to be bored about this on LJ, if you read mine. #

Pass It On

So ... yeah, I've been back on Final Fantasy again...

( I know it bores you, and so... )

In other news, things are going well with the HIPPIEcast. I learn something new every week and the_blonde_one put me onto a neat track from a bunch called 'Sicko' (how it's pronounced, anyway, though I can't now remember all the l33t involved) that will serve perfectly for an intro track for the next HIPPIE novel when it goes to podcast. So I asked the band and they (he? I think it's a one-man electronica act) said it was fine, and then I got asked if I could provide further details of the project because the label want to include this in their newsletter. I'm gonna be in someone's newsletter! Go unexpected publicity!

Seriously, any publicity is good at this point. I want people to hear this, but there are only so many places that I can say things. I am not everywhere. I am not Kilroy 2.0. So it's down to people who've heard or read it, and who think it's worth passing around to spread the word. It's retweets (many and often) and blog mentions and nudges towards the site and ... you know, word of mouth. So if you like it, and think others might ... please pass it on.

Besides which, if enough people talk about it, and enough people hit the site because of it, I might actually get people to buy the book when it comes out, or even a little notice for the tip jar so I can maybe get the mic/pop shield set-up I so desperately need. Seriously, trying to edit out the breath noises of a chronic sinusitis sufferer? It's not easy. I'll get it eventually, but the sooner the better, and I can't afford it right now. I really should just label the thing "Get the Author Some Decent Equipment Fund".
