On Thurday Doug came down with a sudden case of pancreatitis, gallstones, fever and general awfulness. He's been in the hospital for the past three days, drugged up and miserable. I am living the greater part of each day in the chair beside his bed during the day, trying to write, study, and generally be productive while he sleeps, plus helping out when the nurses aren't around and dealing with doctors. At night I sleep on a fold out chair beside his bed. So far his illness is not life threatening but he is sicker than I have ever seen him. Matt and Tim are being a huge help, taking care of the dogs and house and running errands for me. Not fun!

An instant later half a dozen men in peasant garb materialized out of thin hair around Klia.

Once again, dear friends, I can't find a small detail. For a signed bookmark, does Klia's Aurenfaie horse have a name?

Thanks!

Apparently this is my day for amusing typos.

"They turned to retreat, only to find themselves faced with a crowd of the shitting, wavering phantoms."

Not book related, but it still made me laugh/cringe when I caught it.

"I have excellent communications skilss.."

On Dune, this would make sense: The fog had burned off and the afternoon was clear and pleasantly worm.

I just had to share these lovely artworks by questrel! I love them all, but if I was forced to pick a favorite, it would be the one of Alec at the work bench with Ruetha.

In honor of the day, here's a link to the world's oldest pornography!

Yes, this is for real.

From Entertainment Weekly. OK, you all knew this, but it's news to me.

Expecting the return of "Sherlock" next summer?

Try late 2013. Perhaps even 2014, depending where you live.

Start of production on the third cycle of the fan-adored detective drama has been moved from January to March. Sources say the shift was necessary to accommodate the busy schedules of the show’s breakout stars, Benedict Cumberbatch (who’s filming "Star Trek 2") and Martin Freeman (starring in "The Hobbit").
