Got safely to Longford yesterday, after a fairly mind-numbing train journey. Got keys to the house today, and Mom and I spent a while moving furniture around until it met with something resembling our satisfaction. If I were a good and moral person I’d go spend some time cleaning the house tonight, but I think instead I’ll do some work, and tomorrow clean the house when I need a break from writing. The other thing I need to do tomorrow is bring a list of demaproblems over to the estate…

Ok, I’ve set up a flickr photostream for my Project365. Doing this might even get me posting at kitsnaps () again, which is nice. I’ll probably only update once a week for a while (maybe for always) since I’ll be largely offline the next few weeks, but that should be okay as long as I remember to take pictures more than once a week. :) Got most of my things to do done. I need to pack, but a reality check says I’m not going to do that until tomorrow.…

*mrrrrgh*
Frakking Ticketmaster’s released extra “gold circle” tickets at a totally reasonable price for the Bon Jovi concert on Saturday and Ted’s given me permission to go without him, but there is just no practical way to do it. I’d have to go to Dublin, drop off a suitcase either at the train station or at my sister’s house (and she’s not home to coordinate with), go back out to Naas, get to Punchestown, go to the concert, get *back* in to Dublin to stay the night at Deirdre’s (which she’s…

I’m blogging today over at Simply Romance Reviews. I also got name-checked in a Library Journal article on urban fantasy, which makes me quite happy. Walked down the canal until I reached the end of the walk today. It was the first time since leaving Alaska that I’d been on a walk that actually felt like it had some element of wilderness to it. It’s nothing at all like the coastal trail in Anchorage or anything (and, y’know, there are horses and cows along the trail instead of moose and…
