I seem to be getting spammed a lot with bogus comments to journal entries. This happens fairly frequently, but this week it seem to have stepped up ten-fold--mostly in response to an entry made back on February 24th of this year. What's odd is that it's not even a particularly brilliant entry. I muse upon twin versions of myself fighting. It's a short entry, yet of unending fascination to spammers from Russia and China. I'm sure there is a setting someplace in Wordpress that will let me filter this more efficiently. The moderation chore is becoming a daily pain in the ass, but on the rare moment when a real person comments, I don't want to make them jump through a lot of hoops to do so.

The weekend was pretty good. Moments of relaxation, and moments of activity. Hung out with friends mostly, napped, did some work, stalked the house. That kind of thing. Now the weekdays are back and I've got a decent amount of work to blast through. In looking through the To Do list for the week, it looks like I won't have any problems. One of the books I'm working on at the moment is the story of actors Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell who starred in such classics as Seventh Heaven (1927), Lucky Star (1929), and Change of Heart (1934). There are a couple of books that are going through various editing stages before being sent off to the printer, and the July medical journal is underway. And I'm waiting for some new cover art for Rogue Satellite Comics.
A full, but workable week.

Today's link is one I hope a lot of you already know about, but if you don't...well this is why the Internet exists. I present to you, the infamous Snopes.com--your one-stop location for all the rumors that are fit to print--and the fact and fiction behind them. It's a clearinghouse of information on internet hoaxes, Hollywood rumor, mis-remembered history and more. I've not been to the site myself in a while, and wonder when they added added the tagline "Rumor Has It" which is what I call my little rumor-mongering practices on these pages every Tuesday.
Rumor Has It... they enjoy my Tuesday posts so much that they borrowed the tagline from me.
(Actually, note that I follow it up with an ellipsis whereas they do not.)
Cheers!
