A bit bettter.

Yesterday was awful. The psoriasis is lessening every day but because of the ear infection the dizzyness hit its worst - I couldn't even stand up at one point and was crawling around the house on my hands and knees. Not pleasant and humiliating. Later when I was able to walk I was clutching the walls for support. And no, before you ask - nothing to do with alcohol!

And to make matters worse, Lucius (who decided to come back after a day) has stopped eating and yesterday I was completely unable to take him to the vet. Do you know how bad a human I felt, lying in bed watching him just lying there, not eating or drinking all day?  I managed to get him to drink a couple of teaspoons of water out of my palm by the end of the day, but he hasn't got up this morning at all.  Cats always pick the worse time to be ill, as today is the only day that the vet insists on appointments (normally you can just turn up) so they can't see me until 4pm. That's good for me, as the dizzyness is still present and it will take an hour or so for me to get my arse into gear and get washed and dressed, but not so good for him. I hope I can get some more water into him. Stupid cat!! Why couldn't he be ill in his other family's house?

Hurrah!

John Sargeant has pulled out of Strictly Come Dancing!

Good for you, John.  I'm very pleased.

Better still - SNOW ON THE WAY!!!

Yes I'm likely to be spammy today...

You'll see a lot from me today, I'm afraid as I have about three days of stuff to catch up with...

Just been reading this thread over at Dear Author.  It starts off as the (Yawn Yawn) subject of "does a writer have to had experienced love to be able to convince the reader of it." and then very quickly descends into a dissection of whether female authors of m/m romance can write gay romance (or indeed lit - "no" says Anne Sommerville - well, she should know.) and for some bizarre reason, almost becomes a witchhunt as to "IS JOSH LANYON A *SHOCK* GIRL?"

Oh for fuck's sake.

1. Haven't we had enough of this subject?  It seems to pop up, like mushrooms on a regular basis.
2. As to Lanyon - WHY (to quote that wonderful video on Prop8) does it matter TO YOU?
3. Why is it so important to know what gender an author is?  It didn't matter so much before the internet when we could find this information out immediately. We took for granted that the author bio in the book (because that's all we had) was right.  There have been many men writing lesbian stories and romance stories, men write Mills and Boons and romance. Why do we NEED to know what gender they are?  As I said in my comment on that thread - I find this OBSESSION to know what a writer has between their legs (and yes- just stop and think about that concept for a moment, do you grasp new acquaintances between the legs to ascertain their sex?) as offensive as if my employer asked me at an interview "What sexual persuasion are you?"

Grow up, people.

But the best thing on the ENTIRE thread.  Teddypig used my phrase "OK Homo"  *dies*
