So, Superman gushing aside, I’ve had an absolutely terrific week. We had friends come to visit: my high school photography teacher and his wife. I hadn’t seen them in 15, maybe 16 years, since high school, basically, but we’ve kept in touch on and off, mostly in the last few years through email, and they decided to come visit Ireland! They’d been up at Mom & Dad’s for a few days, then came down to Cobh on Sunday and hung out for a while. I’d had great plans–I’d been going…
fanboy all over
Ted and I went to Superman Returns this afternoon. I’d never seen a Superman movie. I’ve never been particularly in to Superman. Spider-Man was my childhood crush (I’ve had a crush on Spidey since I was 3) and once I got older, it was about Batman. Supes, not so much. I have seen the error of my ways, and I pledge myself at the altar of Brandon RouthSuperman. This is the second movie in a year that I could’ve turned right around and walked back into the theatre and watched…
*fwump*
Line edits are off to New York, where I will not have to worry about them aaaaany more. I hope. :) Now to finish laundry and housecleaning, and maybe try to get a thousand words in, before guests arrive. Speaking of whom, I probably won’t be around much for the next 48-72 hours (not quite sure how long they’re staying). Try to be brave while I’m gone. ytd wordcount: 239,500 miles to Isengard: 180
*stupid grin*
Ok, the *best* part of doing line edits is finding the smilies and hearts that my editor leaves in the margins, especially when she puts them next to bits that I particularly like. My seduction scene here has not just a smiley, not just a heart, but a smiley surrounded by *two* hearts. *silly giggles* I must also confess that when she said AUGH REWRITE THE END that writing a totally happily-ever-after ending was…really fun. I actually grinned like an idiot all the way through writing it. Even just seeing…
an epiphany
I had an epiphany in the shower this morning. It’s not a very big epiphany, and it won’t be interesting to anybody except me (well, ok, maybe five people on my flist), but I just like to say things like that on my journal. It makes a person wonder what the hell it is I’m doing in the shower in the mornings. :) Ok, so I’ve been re-reading the AoA story as it’s been coming out in collected form, and while I really don’t think they should’ve collected it in…
