good mail day
Goodness. We got a whole slew of mail this morning. I got a birthday card from the Lees, and what I suspect is a gift from aberdeen, because I don't know anybody else who would send me copies of James Marsters' Civilized Man and "Words and Music" CDs. :) Plus I know she was shopping at that site not long ago. *grin* Thank you! I will listen to it, er, maybe while I'm writing, but I actually don't think Nook has any CD-playing software. Hm!
I also got what I thought was going to be a manuscript and turned out to be another stack of THUNDERBIRD FALLS covers. Ted suggested I keep them in a nice tidy stack in case they need to do a reprint on TF and have run out of covers like they did with SHAMAN... :)
We also got our labels for our rubbish bins, which is only exciting if you're us, and know how much trash we've got piling up behind the house. :)
I took dancinghorse's advice and didn't work on the book any more yesterday. Admittedly, this is mostly because I went upstairs after dinner, sat down at the computer, looked at the screen, and thought, in the immortal words of a friend of ours visited by Jehovah's Witnesses at 8am on a Sunday morning when he was hung over and answered the door naked, "No...no...oh, *fuck*, no...." So I came back downstairs and did a not very good drawing and watched more LFN. Closing in on finishing the 3rd season, we are, and 4th season won't be out til the end of June. Plus Ted says we can't get 4th season until 5th is available because whatever happens at the end of 4th, it made the fans scream holy living murder that they couldn't stop the show THERE, so they came back to do a shortened 5th season that resolves whatever they ended 4th with.
Oh, hey, I did *really* well remembering the Bon Jovi set list. The only two I missed were "Garageland", which I don't know, and "Treat Her Right", which I also apparently don't know. (I was reminded to go look because I'm wearing my smirky smiley face t-shirt today. It is possible a different shirt might have been a better choice for a woman of my figure. Perhaps I'll take a picture to demonstrate what I mean. Suffice it to say I'm rather reminded of sionainn's wysiwyg shirt. O.O)
All right. Off to eke out another 1300 words or the rest of this chapter (please god), whichever I can stand.
