High-Five-Fridays!
1.) Lindsay Lohan as Marilyn Monroe in “The Last Sitting” - Actually I liked this, and the article was interesting. Obviously NOT work safe!
2.) Gethuman.com - instructions for getting through the automated phone maze to a real person for a large number of big companies.
3.) 20 Ideas for a Great Podcast - Particularity of interest to me as I plan on adding podcasting to my site.
4.) Harper Lee, Gregarious for a Day - Harper Lee is notoriously reclusive, and this is a wonderful glimpse into her.
5. ) The Universal Mary Sue Litmus Test - For writers to see of your character is flat, idealistic, clichéd or too perfect. If you don’t know what a Mary Sue is check out the Wikipedia’s article, and then see if your characters is a Mary Sue!
The purpose of this meme is to give high-fives to 5 people, posts, blogs and/or websites you’ve admired during the week, so who are YOUR High-Fives? Post them to your blog and then Share the love.
A goodly list! I especially appreciate the site with the ways to beat “Voicemail Hell” and the pocast suggestions too… ‘cuz yup, we’re heading that way shortly with one of our blogs.

I didn’t like Lindsay’s photos… The freckles when Monroe was so alabaster, it was a bit off-putting for me.
The Lee article is interesting — only one book? Yeah, but what a book!
Oh, and my link is NWS

The Mary Sue thing is funny — because it’s true!

I felt the same about Lindsay’s freckles… Esp when they were on her arms yet missing elsewhere — gone with the airbrushing I suppose. I would have called to complain, but I didn’t have the voicemail help then

I saw the Mary Sue thing months ago and about halfway through decided I don’t really give a d**n about it anyway. I like my character. LOL She’s not THAT perfect.

Just call me Mary Sue!
Re #2, I just resort to crying. Or maybe that’s, I’m just reduced to crying… I forget.
I’m up, up — and, now, away!

I think all you Lindsay haters just can’t deal with the loss of Marilyn
Then again, I said the same thing to CR/LF when he posted it ~ well, I’m no Mary Sue. I have lots of complex flaws lol
