Post Dallas

Fiorella understands about smoldering anger. She'd be in a lot better position today if she hadn't shot off her big mouth, if she'd controlled her emotional responses. But no matter how angry she was, she never thought of killing anyone--except in her books, of course.

Up to Date

Fiorella used to be a news hound, but no more.  Actually, she's bored with daily reports--they're always the same.  Politicians are misbehaving, movie stars are misbehaving, Jennifer Aniston is pregnant, Angelina Jolie is having another body part removed, another Duggar is having another baby, people are killing other people, athletes are being signed for obscene amounts of money, the universe is different than previously thought, food that was bad one day is good the next and vice versa.

So Fio reads the comics and works the anagrams and occasionally the scrabblegrams, then settles down to create her own world, in which everything ends happily.

Truth to Tell

I am a writer. I work on my novel from noon till midnight every day. My Christmas decorations have yet to be packed away.  I have no idea what is going on in world news. My upstairs office is littered with notes and discarded pages, and my downstairs office is piled with the same. My husband has been doing the grocery shopping for the last month.  I haven't even been outside for three days.

This is not the way Hollywood told me it would be.

Dismissals

Just as newspaper news gave way to TV news, TV news has given way to internet news.  What next?

Fio is bored with the leftovers of her facelift.  She wants the bruises gone NOW.

You'll notice that Fio hasn't gone on any political rampages lately.  She's given up on right and reason.  People vote the way they want to for then own motivations, then make up ways to justify it afterwards.

Questions, Questions, Questions

If Libya is divided, will its capitol be demoted from Tri-poli to Bi-poli? Or even Mono-poli? (In which case, I want Boardwalk.)

So, judging by the ever-decreasing viewing audience, nobody cares about the Oscars. But why should they when they've got U-Tube?
