yet *another* audi update

Yet *another* Audi update. They said the car would be ready on Friday. Today is Monday. No car. I called the mothership. The mothership called the dealership, then called me back. Apparently when they went to put the odometer in, they broke the tip off the ignition. This was last week. They will not, I said, be charging me for this, I assume. The very nice mothership lady said she assumed not. Why did they not call me to tell me this had happened, I asked. She had no idea.…

*wriggle*

*wriggle* Jim said nice things about my book. :) Let’s see. RWA meeting tonight; I should get Mom to do a printout of the cover on their nicer printer so I can bring that to the meeting.

But it’s much too pretty not to, so I suppose I shall. :) miles to Lothlorien: 347

SIX! *falls right over* The game is set in 1890s New Orleans, and we’ve come up with a fairly astonishing array of characters, ranging from my quadroon street rat to Jack’s linguistic scholar, whom he is playing so well it’s screamingly funny.

upcoming movies

There are a bunch of movies coming up at Bear Tooth that I want to go see. “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” is playing next weekend; “Before Sunset” is playing the 2nd-4th; “Sabrina” (the original) is playing on the 8th, I think. “Hero” and … something else … are also playing, and I wouldn’t mind seeing “Hero” again. I very rarely remember to go to the Bear Tooth movies. I hope I remember some of these.
