[17:52] <Shiral> =o)

[17:52] <JastaElf> Hi Katherine

[17:52] <RainbowDragon> Greetings, Katherine

[17:53] <TheCatWhisperer> hi, kk

[17:53] <the_Bee> hello kk

[17:53] <KK> Hello, Folks.

[17:53] <jp> hi KK, How is your father?

[17:53] <Martine> Hi Katherine! Huggles!

[17:53] <Debbie-VB> hi katherine huggles

[17:53] <ethan> hi katherine!!

[17:53] <HackerX> lo kk

[17:53] <kirienne> no, I have been to the star trek musem thing with
my pastor, he spent more time playing with all the interactive things
than the youth group did, LOL

[17:53] <DeryniBot> Welcome cherie to all things Katherine Kurtz

[17:53] <Mistyck> wb Cherie

[17:53] <JastaElf> wb cherie!

[17:53] <Shiral> hello cherie wb <g>

[17:53] <KK> My father is home and doing fine; just tires quickly, but
that's normal.

[17:53] <kirienne> hi Katherine

[17:53] <Mistyck> that's good news, Katherine

[17:53] <JastaElf> thank God he's OK though! :-)

[17:53] <Shiral> Glad to hear he's doing well

[17:53] <cherie> I head KK was here so had to come back

[17:53] <Debbie-VB> terrific news Katherine

[17:53] <cherie> suliad kk

[17:53] <kirienne> wonderful news KK

[17:53] <Martine> That's great, Katherine!

[17:53] <jp> Great news

[17:54] <Sedina> that's wonderful, Katherine

[17:54] <KK> I see that all our newest cat-mommies are here, too.

[17:54] <ethan> wonderful KK

[17:54] <Shiral> How are YOU doing, Katherine?

[17:54] <Wrengl> hi katherine

[17:54] <Martine> Yup! jl;eak

[17:54] <Shiral> yes

[17:54] <KK> That was Rowena?

[17:54] <Martine> And... lol... tonight so is the new cat! <g>

[17:54] <Martine> She's learning to chat.

[17:54] <Sedina> lol and to prove it, Rowena says hi :)

[17:54] <Shiral> Although my fur child is napping at present

[17:54] <the_Bee> was that from rowena?

[17:54] <JastaElf> Will Cesca be joining us, Shiral, or are you at
work?

[17:54] <Martine> The yup was me. The rest was her comment :-)

[17:54] <Shiral> I'm at home

[17:54] <Shiral> But Cesca is napping

[17:54] <JastaElf> cool!

[17:54] <Debbie-VB> don't you recognise high cattish when you see it
Bee?

[17:54] <JastaElf> Ah...

[17:54] <Shiral> She's more interested in paintbrushes, anyway

[17:55] <KK> Mistyck, how is Evaine?

[17:55] <JastaElf> lol! "cats who paint..."

[17:55] <Wrengl> lol shiral

[17:55] <Shiral> She likes to gnaw on the ends

[17:55] <Martine> It's funny. Rowena's developing a knack for saying
"hi" just as people come in the room!

[17:55] <Shiral> Although she has walked over my keyboard more than
once

[17:55] <RainbowDragon> I can't believe it! Shiral is at home when KK
is here

[17:55] <KK> Must be related to Gus. He bites the ends of pens when
one is trying to write.

[17:55] <Shiral> It's pretty amazing!

[17:55] <jp> I think both times Rowena spake she said eak, so she's
learning mouse early

[17:55] * Shiral nails the chatroom door shut

[17:55] <Martine> lol, jp!

[17:56] <Martine> Well, Rowena's about 3-4 and was a stray a year ago,
so I HOPE she learned mouse a lot earlier!

[17:56] <Mistyck> Evaine is napping on my dining table

[17:56] <Shiral> Cesca is a mighty and fearsome hunter of small flying
insects

[17:56] <Wrengl> frankie the golden one likes the table

[17:56] <JastaElf> She can have my cicadas, Shiral....

[17:56] <Wrengl> i do not like him on the table

[17:56] <Mistyck> she chased Chance around all day, so I think she's
tired

[17:56] <Shiral> I'll bet she can, Jasta =o)

[17:57] <KK> They think Rowena is that old? I would've guessed her for
younger.

[17:57] <Sedina> And you were trying to get me to take Frankie, Pat?
*lol*

[17:57] <Wrengl> lol

[17:57] <Mistyck> well, my table is a bit of a mess right now, so I'm
letting her be there

[17:57] <Wrengl> it is that sedina

[17:57] <Martine> From her teeth, the vet was guessing 3-5, but likely
around 4 or so. She's a tiny little full-grown cat.

[17:57] <KK> Ah, so the cicadas are out in force where you are, eh?

[17:57] <TheCatWhisperer> Shiral, can I borrow Cesca to hunt the
Mormon crickets?

[17:57] <Shiral> Sure

[17:57] <Wrengl> or he will join Nermel (SP) in Abu Dabi

[17:57] <Martine> She's even been a mommy, just like Arwen :-)

[17:58] <Debbie-VB> ????Mormon Crickets????

[17:58] <JastaElf> Katherine: they're everywhere. and we hatesss them,
Precioussss...

[17:58] <Shiral> But how do you know they're specifically Mormon
Crickets?? <G>

[17:58] <Sedina> lol Pat...but Nermel always came back

[17:58] <Martine> LOL, Jasta! Come up and visit. No cicadas here!

[17:58] <Shiral> KK, how goes the house, (and the book)?

[17:58] <KK> I'd guessed you'd get a full share, Jasta. LOL

[17:58] <Wrengl> probably no one would keep him there

[17:58] <Debbie-VB> They have several wives

[17:58] <jp> They have more than one cricket wife?

[17:58] <Wrengl> they are not yet out here, jasta

[17:58] <Shiral> Ahah. So they don't build little temples, then

[17:58] <KK> Do they eat them or something?

[17:59] <Debbie-VB> come to Vancouver. It is not cicada country

[17:59] <Martine> Awww! I was all set to go visit the cricket temples.

[17:59] <JastaElf> Oh, we've got the little perishers everywhere,
Katherine. Bumbling about in their erratic flight and making a heck of
a lot of noise

[17:59] <the_Bee> who eats what?

[17:59] <cherie> if only we can figure a way to make cheap fuel out of
them

[17:59] <Shiral> No cicadas here, either

[17:59] <Sedina> or in ND either

[17:59] <Wrengl> the morman cricket temple choir?

[17:59] <Shiral> lol

[17:59] <KK> The Mormon crickets eat their wives....?

[17:59] <the_Bee> they even made the evening news

[17:59] <Mistyck> rofl Pat

[17:59] <Martine> lol! "creak creak creak creeak cri cri
creaaaakkk!!!!"

[17:59] <Mistyck> lol kk

[18:00] <Debbie-VB> But Vancouver's got one advantage over your area
shiral

[18:00] <the_Bee> usually it's the wife who eats the husband

[18:00] <Shiral> True, Debbie

[18:00] <KK> That's what I always thought--but maybe Mormon crickets
are different.

[18:00] <Martine> No wonder they have to group up on husbands. They're
lowering the population! ;-)

[18:00] <TheCatWhisperer> Mormom crickets are called that because they
were pests to the Mormons who settled in Utah

[18:00] <kirienne> lol

[18:00] <the_Bee> and the seagull came and ate the crickets

[18:01] <Wrengl> i was just being silly cw

[18:01] <the_Bee> gulls

[18:01] <KK> Are they realy crickets, or are they cicadas? Or locusts?

[18:01] <ethan> I'll loan you some seagulls, CW

[18:01] <Wrengl> more than one gull

[18:01] <Wrengl> i thought they were locusts

[18:01] <KK> Do the seagulls eat cicadas?

[18:01] <DeryniBot> Welcome Dov to all things Katherine Kurtz

[18:01] <Martine> seagulls will eat anything.

[18:01] <Wrengl> hi dov

[18:01] <Shiral> Hello Dov

[18:01] <Sedina> hi Dov

[18:01] <kirienne> hi dov

[18:01] <ethan> yes they will

[18:01] <Debbie-VB> seagulls will eat anything

[18:01] <Mistyck> hiyas Dov

[18:01] <Wrengl> don't know katherine

[18:01] <Dov> Hi. lost track of time

[18:01] <Martine> hi Dov

[18:01] <Annie> hi Dov

[18:01] <jp> Hi, dov

[18:01] <Wrengl> but gulls seem to eat everything else!

[18:01] <the_Bee> if they eat one insect, i imagine they'd eat others

[18:01] <Shiral> The Cicadas would be a Seagul feast

[18:01] <ethan> hi Dov

[18:02] <Sedina> Martine - I'm suddenly thinking of a certain group of
seagulls when we were at the beach

[18:02] <Shiral> Seagull, that is

[18:02] <KK> I read somewhere that the number of cicadas that will
emerge will exceed the weight of every human on the planet. can that
be right?

[18:02] <TheCatWhisperer> Mormon crickets are really grasshoppers

[18:02] <Martine> LOL, Sedina! This wouldn't be the horde that tried
to move in on our lunch, would it? <g>

[18:02] <the_Bee> isn't there a statue of a seagull in salt lake city?

[18:02] <Debbie-VB> Sedina, would those seagulls all be saying "Mine,
mine, mine"

[18:02] <Wrengl> k cw

[18:02] <ethan> ah, but you wouldn't want to be around when they
finished eating them

[18:02] <jp> Unless it was a male seagull, in which case the cicadas
would eat it.

[18:02] <Sedina> The horde that circled us :)

[18:02] <cherie> it's true KK

[18:03] <KK> Yike! The mind boggles.

[18:03] <Shiral> I generally avoid both bugs and gulls

[18:03] <Dov> or "Mate, mate, mate" in an Aussie accent

[18:03] <Wrengl> lol

[18:03] <Martine> Debbie, NJ shore seagulls speak a different
language. "Food! Food food food food food!"

[18:03] <kirienne> yikes, i hope those bugs do not find their way here

[18:03] <Martine> rotfl, dov!

[18:03] <Wrengl> so do brooklyn gulls

[18:03] <Shiral> Me too, Kirienne

[18:03] <KK> I'm glad I've always managed to be not in the cicada
areas at the time they're doing their thing.

[18:03] <Sedina> We were eating and they literally surrounded us and
we're going to let us move! It was funny and freaky at the same time

[18:03] <Wrengl> they are an east of the mississippi insect kirienne

[18:04] <Shiral> Suddenly, the west coast seems like a very good idea
=o)

[18:04] <Martine> It sort of felt like Hitchcock's "The Birds"

[18:04] <KK> And only within a fairly narrow north-south band, too, I
beliee.

[18:04] <kirienne> oh my!

[18:04] <Samuel> I've never minded the cicadas...... I don't
understand everyone's aversion to them.

[18:04] <Dov> Some seagulls are scavengers, others hunters, some are
both

[18:04] <the_Bee> all you have to wory about is earthquakes

[18:04] <Wrengl> until the level 10.5 earthquake comes!

[18:04] <Shiral> Lucky Jasta gets to be in the middle of it

[18:04] <Shiral> Well, yes

[18:04] <Shiral> But at least we don't have tornadoes

[18:04] <ethan> volcanoes too

[18:04] <Martine> I'll take cicadas over the chance that my living
room will be in my neighbor's house tomorrow morning ;-)

[18:05] <Wrengl> i agree martine

[18:05] <kirienne> lol

[18:05] <Shiral> After this episode, they'll be gone for another 17
years

[18:05] <Shiral> =o)

[18:05] <KK> Yeah. I think that Barticus is maybe lucky to be in
Kosovo, where there are no tornadoes.

[18:05] <Dov> Around the seashore you may have a lot who like to mooch
off people's leftovers.

[18:05] <TheCatWhisperer> We had a funnel cloud Friday night.
Fortunately, it didn't touch down

[18:05] <Debbie-VB> That won't happen Martine. the Neighbor's house
also moves

[18:05] <KK> BTW, Mistyck, have you heard from him recently?

[18:05] <Dov> creepy, CW

[18:05] <Mistyck> not lately, Katherine

[18:06] <TheCatWhisperer> Tornadoes in Idaho are rare

[18:06] <Martine> I don't miss tornados, but I sure miss good
midwestern-style thunderstorms.

[18:06] <KK> Bynw and Tika are sort of in tornado country, too, aren't
they?

[18:06] <Mistyck> same for New Mexico, very rare

[18:06] <Sedina> yes they are

[18:06] <Martine> They are.

[18:06] <Mistyck> yes they are

[18:06] <RainbowDragon> Mistyck: have you heard from christophle?

[18:06] * babayaga has known 3 tornados in 3 states

[18:06] <Mistyck> no rd

[18:06] <cherie> we have great T-storms here

[18:06] <Mistyck> not yet

[18:06] * Debbie-VB totally digs grumblestorms

[18:07] <Sedina> Martine - you would have loved it. After I got
offline with you last night, we had a great thunderstorm here.

[18:07] <Martine> I remember babysitting my sister as a kid when one
went over our house. Ever tried to tear a five-year-old away from her
He-Man and She-Ra cartoons and carry her, kicking biting and
screaming, to the basement? <g>

[18:07] <TheCatWhisperer> But I suppose a swarm of Mormon crickets is
like a tornado

[18:07] <Shiral> I've been caught in the middle of a thunder and
lightning storm in the Sierras

[18:07] <Martine> Oooo! I'm jealous, Kim!

[18:07] <Dov> T-storms are awesome, from a respectful distance

[18:07] <KK> I agree, Dov.

[18:07] <Martine> We only get little rumbles here. It's pathetic.

[18:07] <Mistyck> yep and so are hurricanes

[18:07] <KK> I rather like thunder, actually.

[18:08] <Martine> me too!

[18:08] <kirienne> so do I

[18:08] <babayaga> I've ridden bike under a mesocyclone in OK, with
the radar and weather cars going by in a long line ...

[18:08] <Martine> The kind that rattles the whole house :-)

[18:08] <ethan> me too

[18:08] <Shiral> I like thunder when I'm not getting rained on at the
same time

[18:08] <Sedina> lots of thunder and lightning last night...the girls
were both in the window watching

[18:08] <Mistyck> hehe

[18:08] <Debbie-VB> well twisters are also awesome from a respectful
distance

[18:08] <Shiral> Last September in Italy, there was a great BIG
thunderstorm the day my party was in Assisi

[18:08] <jp> I've got to run so one quick question for ya KK, When is
the paperback of ITKS due out?

[18:09] <ethan> seems to be the year for twisters

[18:09] * Dov saw a funnel cloud once, gave me the shivers

[18:09] <KK> Sometime in the summer, I would guess. So is the DR
rerelease.

[18:09] <Mistyck> we had one near Ellington earlier this month

[18:09] <Martine> I saw five once on the horizon driving through
Texas. Yow.

[18:09] <Debbie-VB> Paperbacks usually follow about a year after
hardbound

[18:09] * Shiral rubs her little hands together in anticipation=o)

[18:09] <Shiral> I want to see the new DR!

[18:09] <KK> July.

[18:09] <cherie> me too!

[18:09] <cherie> yay

[18:09] * kirienne makes room on her bookshelf

[18:10] * Shiral crosses another day off her calendar

[18:10] <ethan> Washington St usually only gets one a year. They've
had six in the last month

[18:10] <cherie> is there much change?

[18:10] <KK> You'll all grump at the cover, though.

[18:10] <Annie> any chance of it in the UK, or am I shipping from the
US again, KK?

[18:10] <the_Bee> ??

[18:10] <Mistyck> same as before?

[18:10] <Shiral> They're not using the cover on the website?

[18:10] <Debbie-VB> i'm already bugging chapters to get dr in asap.
they took a onth to get king's service in!!!!!

[18:11] <Debbie-VB> Month

[18:11] <KK> I think it's the one on the website; it's just that they
went to press without incorporating the copious notes I sent about
what was wrong with it.

[18:11] <RainbowDragon> Which cover? For the new DR?

[18:11] <KK> Yep.

[18:11] <Shiral> Rats

[18:11] <Martine> I liked the cover art displayed on Amazon better
than the last edition with Kelson looking like an Italian fop! <g>

[18:11] <Martine> Ack, Katherine!

[18:11] <Shiral> Too bad about the notes

[18:12] <Shiral> Rather discouraging

[18:12] <Dov> Is that the one with the "drathon" on the cover?

[18:12] <Debbie-VB> At least White Dwarf will get it in at the right
time

[18:12] <KK> I think the responsible editor had a death in the family,
and the notes hadn't been incorporated, and it had to go to press
before e/he got back. So at least it's understandable.

[18:12] <JastaElf> Ah... yes.

[18:12] <JastaElf> regrettable, but understandable.

[18:12] <Shiral> Indeed

[18:12] <Mistyck> yes

[18:13] <Dov> Alas

[18:13] <Mistyck> but it's too bad

[18:13] <ethan> I'm a bit confused, DR?

[18:13] <Annie> cool jp!

[18:13] <Mistyck> Deryni Rising

[18:13] <JastaElf> Deryni Rising

[18:13] <Martine> Well, we can *pretend* St. George's is Romanesque if
we don't look TOO closely at the art <g>

[18:13] <Shiral> Any writing in the past week, KK? Or has it been a
"house" week

[18:13] <Debbie-VB> The re-issue of Katherine first book Deryni

[18:14] <the_Bee> ?me gathers her horde michaeline bees and swarms
after Peer

[18:14] <RainbowDragon> any writing this week?

[18:14] * Debbie-VB pelts peer with a platful of Petrified purple
Peeps

[18:14] <Shiral> We blame it on the cicadas

[18:15] <JastaElf> lol!

[18:15] <KK> Writing? Surely you jest.

[18:15] <Mistyck> lol

[18:15] * kirienne throws one of Morgan's daggers at peer

[18:15] <Shiral> Oops sorry

[18:15] <Mistyck> too busy with the house?

[18:15] * cherie ties the one ring to peer and tosses it into the
crack of doom

[18:15] <Martine> What's the house up to now?

[18:15] <KK> But we did see our windows being made, and my dressing
room got finished.

[18:15] <Martine> Whoo hoo!

[18:15] <Mistyck> cool!

[18:15] <TheCatWhisperer> I blame the Peering on the Mormon crickets

[18:15] <kirienne> that's great

[18:15] <Debbie-VB> Dressing rooms are good

[18:15] <Wrengl> that is good

[18:15] <the_Bee> so no more running around undressed?

[18:15] <KK> We had hordes of electrocians doing second fix, though
they didn't finish it.

[18:16] <KK> No more living our of boxes and piles of clothes.

[18:16] <Wrengl> when do they return

[18:16] <Shiral> That's always nice =o)

[18:16] <Sedina> that has to be a nice feeling

[18:16] <Shiral> To have closet space again

[18:16] <Martine> Whoo hoo! :-)

[18:16] <KK> The mirrored closet doors are not kind, however; they
make me very aware of the need for diet.

[18:16] <Mistyck> just ignore them!

[18:16] <TheCatWhisperer> Diet is die with a t

[18:16] <Martine> LOL! Mirrors are most cruel that way.

[18:16] <Debbie-VB> mirrors are seldome kind to me either katherine

[18:17] <Wrengl> turn a blind eye towards them

[18:17] <cherie> mirrors are just honest is all

[18:17] <Shiral> Mirrors can be devastating enemies

[18:17] <KK> Can't igore them; they're on two whole sides of the room.

[18:17] <Martine> Not necessarily, CW. I've found WeightWatchers to be
fairly simple. They even allow chocolate ice cream!

[18:17] <Shiral> No, that makes it kind of hard to miss

[18:17] <ethan> paint over them?

[18:17] <KK> But at least I can see what I'm picking out to wear now.

[18:17] <Martine> This is always a good thing :-)

[18:17] <Shiral> Always helpful

[18:17] <Mistyck> definitely

[18:18] <Martine> It's always embarrassing to find you've paired the
brown socks with black pants again. <g>

[18:18] <Shiral> I mean, the polka dots with the plaids... it just
didn't help....

[18:18] <Martine> LOL! Melissa, I think we're sharing a brain!

[18:18] <TheCatWhisperer> Whose "brilliant" idea was it to have
mirrors on 2 whole sides of the room?

[18:18] <Shiral> Fine, so you don't want any more Shiralfic????

[18:19] <Sedina> Martine and Shiral - it's likely a good thing that I
didn't say what I was thinking as well.

[18:19] <Martine> Oh no! We're splitting the brain three ways now!

[18:19] <kirienne> heee heeeheee

[18:19] <KK> Well, we've got Norman the Tiler coming in the AM to do
the bathroom on the top floor of the flat, so I'd better sign off and
hit the hay.

[18:19] <Debbie-VB> Are the mirrors on opposite walls or adjacent
walls?

[18:19] <Martine> Huggles, Katherine!

[18:21] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves good-night, blows kisses,
and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.

[18:21] <Martine> I can add and subtract. Really. When I'm not
splitting a brain three ways.

[18:21] <Shiral> We need our Deryni fixes. Hard to concentrate on
writing with hammering and banging all over the house
