thrills & chills

It’s cold outside!  It actually feels like autumn, yet the roses are still blooming in the botanic garden and the bees are busier than ever…I stepped back into the ring today and redeemed myself for the crappy shopping I did on Monday; I’m BEAT, but will now cook some lunch (a HOT lunch, b/c it’s COLD outside), maybe make a cup of Milo, and think about what I want to say to the students at Rutgers tomorrow; I’m leading a workshop based on my play, Mother Load, which I’m hoping they will have read.  After a summer of slouching around in jeans and a t-shirt, I finally purchased some professorial clothes and will do my best to play the part tomorrow.  So that’s the chills.

The THRILLS part comes from Justine Larbalestier’s review of A Wish After Midnight, which you can find at her blog.  You may have read my rave review of Liar, which came out *yesterday*—go get a copy; I guarantee you will not be able to put it down…
