Yes, I will make the effort to blog.  I just finished my book club book for the month, which started off all right, a totally off-the-wall hilarious plot about writing which rings horribly true about the writing/publishing/reading industry today.  I'm not even kidding, I could relate to just about everything he lists as a thematic device guaranteed ( Read more... )

Hey, everyone, did you enjoy your Easter?  I must admit I had a pretty good time.  Went to my Jane meeting on Saturday, where I was quite flattered by all these people who like my email reminders.  I really had no idea they were THAT good, but I'll try to keep it up.  Fun and informative, I'm all about that.  Then I had prime rib and yorkshire ( Read more... )

So today a good friend of mine told me he'd like to pounce me.  If he were single, of course.

Would somone please give me an icepick or knitting needle for Christmas?  It needs to be shoved through my temporal lobe sooner rather than later.

Now this is what I'm talking about.  Score Friday!

Okay, so it was even a tolerable day at work.  The fleet assistance I was supposed to do (aka extra work sprung on me in the middle of my morning) was rescinded before I started freaking about it.  Though...I did wind up doing it later, but I got finished really early so I guess it all works out.  ( Read more... )
