woo hoo!

Have got my shiny new computer and it's so, so pretty. My old one was just about dying, and really, I had no choice but to replace it. It was after all ten years old. RIP. I was using kat99999's laptop before, and while I got used it, I much prefer something with a mouse, rather than that thingy in the keyboard you have to finger (as it were). Never could get the hang of cut-n-paste with that.

Have been writing loads over summer and have almost finished my novella. Reckon it's going to be about 30,000 words. Not sure what kind of market there is for that kind of length, but I'm going to try and put it out there. I'm pretty pleased with the way it's evolved; it's different from how I imagined it would be, but then, a writer should always be prepared for changes, and in this case, the changes have been beneficial to the piece.

Have been a bit lax in my reading journal. I have been reading stuff that I shouldn't have been reading, in a way, and also pretending to myself that I'm prepping for lectures. Which I really must do, because I go back to work in three weeks and have done nothing about it. So it's nose to the grindstone from now on. That's what I tell myself anyway.

I am addicted to CSI. I prefer the Las Vegas one, but CSI:New York comes a close second. Miami's ok, but the characters in the other two have so much more charisma in my opinion. I really didn't need another tv progamme to watch. Oh yeah, and have been watching Black Books on DVD. Is great fun and I recommend it.
