Tomorrow is the last day of the work placement. Huzzah! Not that I haven't enjoyed working there, but working 10-6 everyday when you're not getting paid for it starts to suck. But I'm glad I did it. I met some cool people and have new things to add to my CV.

Still, a need a significant de-stressification period. Which will start tomorrow when culf  and ( Read more... )

Or a vacation from my unemployment. You know, however you want to look at it. Either way, I'm going to be home sweet home all weekend! Otherwise known as NYC. Oh how I missed thee. I actually haven't been there since culf 's visit in March. The week after her visit is when I got the last job, so there really hasn't been any time. This will be hanging ( Read more... )

In other words, I signed my official separation papers with Best Buy today ( Read more... )

I will have an awesome writing day at Starbucks and get a bunch more of the editing done. Less than a hundred pages to go before this baby is ready for queries.

It's bright and sunny out with clear blue skies that makes the snow even that much prettier.

It's just over a week until culf  and I are on the same continent, in the same place, at the same time ( Read more... )

There couldn't be a lovelier way to spend a weekend. [Cue sighing]
I got into the city around 2pm and wasted some time in Barnes & Noble, Forbidden Planet, and (of course) Starbucks, before meeting up with Korean sister for bubble at 5. Well, I guess B&N wasn't a total waste - I bought Guide to Query Letters and the Writer's Market Guide to Literary ( Read more... )

Weekends are typically the same as weekdays for me and in general, are not that exciting. But, this weekend, I'm going away! So I will sing a little going away weekend song. (Imagine your own tune ( Read more... )

Well, not really. We're only driving for about an hour. So, what's going on? Well, Mom and I are going to a dinner in Reading. What kind of dinner? Well, it's part of the World Series trophy's tour of Pennsylvania! Yes, the World Series trophy goes on tour. We get to not only see the World Series trophy, but get a professionally taken photo with it ( Read more... )

Yes, it's awards season and cinephiles around the globe should be watching all those fancy pants, Oscar-bait films, but you know, sometimes what you need isn't to watch a complex, emotional film like Rachel Getting Married.

Sometimes, what you need is something horrible. Now, I'm not talking just plain bad. I mean horrible. Atrocious. Mind-bendingly ( Read more... )

I finally finished EW's list of films to see before Oscar night - last year's list. I've had Before The Devil Knows You're Dead sitting next to my television for two months. I was stuck at home again because of the snow and decided it was finally time. Now, it's over and done (good, complex film, by the way), and I can move onto the new list of ( Read more... )

In order to make this week more positive, I thought I'd share one fun thing I did during the day or something fun I could do, that made the day better.

So, today I was stuck at home all day for two reasons:
1) It was snowing steadily all day and my mom needed the 4 wheel drive car to get to work.
2) The heating company needed to come out because our ( Read more... )
