Having gotten my office sorted, I need to figure out what to do with the greenhouse I’ve built for my orange tree. It turned out larger than I expected, so it doesn’t fit as nicely on a corner of my desk as I thought it would, which means basically it takes up the Entire Desk. Which means I can’t use the desk for much of anything else, which is inconvenient now that the desk is nominally useable. :) So hrm. Also removing a bookshelf means I have removed a top…

Afterward she almost forgave me, except she doesn’t like Tom Cruise and the movie made her like him and that was pretty unforgiveable. :) I have made headway into cleaning my office. So far I’ve gotten all the Christmas wrapping paper out of there, which was a big improvement all by itself. I also cleared one bookshelf entirely of crap, which…
dude!
I knew there was something I was forgetting! I’m participating in a world record attempt with the Irish Writers Centre TODAY! They’ve got 111 authors lined up to read consecutively from their own works, starting at 10am Irish time and going until 2pm tomorrow! So at 5pm Irish time (noon Eastern, 9am Pacific) I’ll be reading a short excerpt (part of chapter 4) from URBAN SHAMAN! You can watch it LIVE at the IWC website!
