Or perhaps very good geek. It’s hard to tell the difference. I was poking around ebay last night (always a bad sign) and came across one of the–well, I’d seen them at train stations, but they call them bus shelter–X3 promotional posters. For Rogue, obviously; none of the others would tempt me. By “tempt” I mean “when we were in New York and taking the train out to Sunnybrook, we went by a number of stations that had X3 posters, and I was tempted to get off and steal one…
from the wild
Photo from of THUNDERBIRD FALLS in the wild: And of the Locus back cover, sneakily turned around to prominently display a GINORMOUS AD for THUNDERBIRD: I have good friends. :) Other people have sent me other photos of books in the wild, mostly, I believe, CARDINAL RULE (though I’ve got a great picture of Angie with URBAN SHAMAN, at least), and I have been incredibly lame about posting them. However, I promise that if people send me more sighting photos, I’ll post with more regularity.
chd
I went in and asked if they could fix my hair by dying it back to something resembling its natural color. Unfortunately, they couldn’t, because they said they couldn’t do anything until it was less saturated. She told me to get Head & Shoulders shampoo, which strips color. Who knew? So I did. I did get the layers cut out, so it’s all one length now except the ‘bangs’, and it’s still past my shoulders, and all the nasty dead ends are gone, so I’m considerably happier with the cut,…
mental health morning
Or maybe mental health day. Not a good sign to be taking one after 2 days of work, but I got revision notes on HEART OF STONE _and_ PHOENIX LAW, and that always requires some mental health time. As usual, ever so frustratingly, most of the notes are utterly legit. HEART OF STONE is particularly depressing because I am full of hate and loathing for that book at this point, and the “increase sensuality” part of the notes just makes me want to slam my head against the wall a…
daily grind
I got started an hour late today, so by 3pm I only had 4100 words. Then, most awfully, I noticed it was only another 1100 words to 20K on the book, so obviously the day’s goal was not 5K, but 5200 words. And at 3pm I *reaaaaaaalllllly* didn’t feel like writing anymore. So I came downstairs to log on and whine, and found that Ted had sent me a copy of the Rogue poster for X3. (I am despondent. My hair is nowhere near long enough for X3 Rogue. It…
