I didn’t get a great deal done today, but I *did* finally get my comments (or more accurately, rewrites) on cover copy for THUNDERBIRD FALLS and THE CARDINAL RULE off to my editor. Hopefully they’ll be timely enough to be of some use still, though I was woefully late in responding to emails. I also got my 200+ inbox down to 70 or so messages, and must perform the same triage on my cemurphy account soon. But not tomorrow. Tomorrow I’m housecleaning, because I really know how to have a…
New Orleans
You know, I’ve never been to New Orleans. It’s looking hideously like I’m never going to get the chance, at least not to see the old city; the part that makes it Nawlins. I don’t even think I know anybody who lives there, but everyone I know is talking about it. I can’t help thinking about the article about New Orleans and force five hurricanes that TNH linked to last year, and how they’ll probably never have the chance to save the city now. If, somehow, the city survives, I’m…

busy
My, it’s been a busy day so far. I walked down to have coffee with Jai, then went over to Bear Tooth to buy tickets for Bruce Campbell’s thing next week, but there was nobody selling tickets yet, so I had lunch instead. Then I went back over to the mall and first bought a small backpack, which I may return, because it’s not very comfortable, though it seemed ok when I tried it on at the store, and then went to browbeat the Alaska Club into letting me come…
stats, 8/26
As predicted, no clue what the WW stats are today; I did very well up until we went to the movies, and after that I ceased counting. I’d guess fifty points for the day, maybe more, as I ate a bunch of food that was pure badness. But it was good, too. :) Back on track in the morning, with five days before weigh-in, so hopefully if I’ve done damage I can mitigate it. It’s going to be hard keeping on points after a couple days of splurging, so if…
