Happy BIRTHDAY to DEIRDRE! I love you! That’s about it for today. :) miles to Mount Doom: 100

Target points: 22 Points used: 25 Activity points earned/used: 8/5 WPA used/remaining: 0/6 I am unlikely to come out of this week with a loss, barring a miracle in the next forty-eight hours, but it’s looking like I won’t come out with a gain. You take what you can get, I guess.

ARGH. Tor just turned down Angles. After two years. ARGH. For the same reason the last person turned it down: characters need more development. ARGH. *stomps around* ARGH. (I’m not crushed. I’m not even surprised or much disappointed. There was about a five second heart pang, but mostly, ARGH. This is more a noise of annoyance at a two year process ending in rejection than anything else, I think. ARGH.) Well. I see rewrites in my future. ARGH. *ARGH*. **ARGH**!

Blast. Got my copy into the editor too late for certain on CARDINAL RULE, and debateably on-time for THUNDERBIRD FALLS. *sigh* Well, that’ll teach me to be more diligent in the future. I made salmon chowder last night and it was .extremely. good, but I burned my tongue on it. Ow, ow ow ow. And that’s really about it for today so far. Oh! Except my sister now has a blog! :)

Target points: 22 Points used: 24.5 Activity points swapped: 2.5 WPA used/remaining: 0/6 So my downfall Saturday night was sitting down to watch Ever After and eating a very, very large bowl of popcorn and drinking some pineapple juice. I wasn’t hungry, so it was sheer raving stupidity on my part, but it did taste good. Yesterday was better.
