Okay, so I'm a little late. Would it surprise anyone to know that one of my New Year's resolutions was to blog more regularly? Probably not. Anyway, I don't actually count New Year's resolutions as starting until about mid-February, because that's how long it takes me to remember them on a day-to-day basis, so I figure I'm still golden.

In the meantime, let's catch up! Here's an itemized list of what's happening in Louisa Land.

Current Work: revisions on CAN'T STAND THE HEAT and writing forward on a sooper seekrit project that is as yet unnamed and still totally jinxable, which is why it's designated 'sooper seekrit'.
Current Music: I've been really into David Bowie recently, along with Dusty Springfield, Lou Reed, Patsy Cline, and the Killers.
Current TV on DVD Obsession: This is actually a two-parter, because yes, I'm that much of an addictive personality. 1) A revived and ongoing obsession with Supernatural that has grown so large that is has actually sucked Stinger into its orbit. That's right, my geekiness is contagious. What? And to prove it is my second obsession, 2) The Big Bang Theory. Specifically, Sheldon. I've watched exactly 6 episodes and I'm in love. If you haven't seen this show, it's a sitcom that involves a couple of physics prodigies whose world is turned upside down when a pretty girl moves in across the hall. This turns out to be a precise and efficient equation yielding consistently hilarious results. And I kind of want to go back to school and study physics, just in case I ever meet Sheldon so I can make him fall in love with me. There, I said it.
Current Food: Well, what's in my mouth right now is a mentholated Halls cough drop, which I've been popping like candy even though I'm not sick, but my most recent forays in the kitchen have included: Chicken Gratin with Mushrooms and Leeks; Thomas Keller's Salmon with Leeks and Beurre Blanc (delicious!); and experimenting with my stovetop to get the perfect soft-boiled egg.
Current Mood: Good! I think I've finally overcome the lethargy that always overtakes me after the holidays and am ready to get back to working out and revising and writing and going to the grocery store and stuff. And blogging! Right, that too.
