Back to Life, Back to Reality

[snurri]

So I am definitely feelin' the love from all y'all (notice how I retain my folksy manner of speaking), and thank you for that. Good things only mean so much without friends to share them with, and based on the number of folks who've expressed their congrats through various channels, I've got a lot of 'em. Thanks.

Back to work, though. I can't just bask in the love, and I have no editorial letter in hand yet, so last night I went and worked on my newest manuscript for a while. Nothing more humbling than actually writing; it didn't go too badly, though. Any scene in which someone gets killed is a winner, right? Hm.

Finally, I just have to point this out to y'all. Scarlett sings Waits!?!?! This is either going to be the greatest thing ever or a debacle on the level of Shatner singing the Beatles. Either way, I'm buying a copy.

I listened to the link of her Gershwin cover; surprisingly enough, she might actually be able to pull it off.

I can't get that to play here at work, but I'm definitely checking it out once I get home.

You're right, she's not bad; not exceptional, but not bad. Her voice has sort of a torchy, early Bette Midler quality about it.

I'm all for the 'set it and forget it' philosphy, but didn't you JUST sell the thing? Dude, you're entitled to at LEAST another few days of doing the pee-pee dance.

Heh. Well, I got the news on Thursday, and I'm the antsy sort.

Holy crap, scarjo sings waits!?! I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around it, and at the same time, I'm terribly intrigued...

That's about my reaction. I hope it's not along the same lines as the Diana Krall cover of "Temptation," 'cause that was a bit too torchy for my taste. I'd rather see her get weird with it.

All I know is, if she covers "Pasties and a G-string," I think I'll be in love.

Hell, you and me both.
