Apparently there was a big hoo-ha about Rowling “outing” Dumbledore.
Book from HELL Is DONE!
I finished editing a BOOK FROM HELL today. I’ve been working on it steadily since July, which is a loooong time for this market. I’m soooooooo glad to see the end of it.
Miscellaneae: Photos, Work, Gram, Girlfriends, and a Date
My new, 320 gig external hard drive is cool! Now I have space to work with and store all the photos I take.
I have three photographs being published in Sacramento magazine in November. Another photo I took of Asher will be published in January. I have officially justified the purchase of the camera as a business expense. Yipee!
I’m feeling guilty about not seeing my grandmother lately. I plan to print out a bunch of pictures of my kids to take with me when I do get around to going…. later this week maybe. Maybe they will get me out of the doghouse.
In the next couple of days, I should be able to invoice for 2-3 projects, which is always tons of fun. Almost as much fun as receiving the checks in the mail. I guess that means I should ask for more work… even though I desperately want a break.
I had a fantastic time with some of my girlfriends on Friday night. It was getting to be a get-me-out-of-the-house-or-I’ll-do-myself-or-someone-else-harm kind of situation. It was relaxing and exhilarating to be out and about in grown up places with no children hanging off my hands and breasts. So nice being around girl energy for a while. You see, I get a lot of boy energy in my life these days!
On Saturday we got to drop the kiddos off with grandma for a few hours. We had planned to catch a movie, but were just a tad too late to make that happen. So instead, we went to a sushi bar for lunch, tried a bunch of new sushi, and enjoyed ourselves. We then visited one of our favorite used book stores and browsed! Browsing a bookstore is usually not possible with small people in tow, so it was a treat to sit down and peruse titles and back-cover copy to make my selections. Ian and picked up about 6-7 new novels and 4 kids’ books for $20. Super!
Friendly Neighborhood Spider Man
More photos on Flickr.
Spiderman, Spiderman,
Does whatever a spider can
Spins a web, any size,
Catches thieves just like flies
Look Out!
Here comes the Spiderman.
Is he strong?
Listen bud,
He’s got radioactive blood.
Can he swing from a thread
Take a look overhead
Hey, there
There goes the Spiderman.
In the chill of night
At the scene of a crime
Like a streak of light
He arrives just in time.
Spiderman, Spiderman
Friendly neighborhood Spiderman
Wealth and fame
He’s ingnored
Action is his reward.
To him, life is a great big bang up
Whenever there’s a hang up
You’ll find the Spider man.
New Portraits
Asher at 8.5 months.
New portraits of my family (October 2007) are on my Flikr account: http://www.flickr.com/photos/37914323@N00/
Supposedly there’s an easy way of “blogging” my photos from Flikr, but I can’t figure it out. So I guess you’ll have to click on the link.
Work
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot edit;
courage to edit the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Also, it would be great if you could help me ignore the inanity of the text, the boredom that comes from reading what must be my 500th guide, and the stress laid on me by multiple project editors with hot-and-heavy deadlines. Oh, and help me mother a baby at the same time without crying. Me, not the baby.
Good Strategy
Good Strategy for a Racing Game
Drive a good (fast/maneuverable) car
Go really fast
Watch out for other cars
Brake well
Turns are hard, so do them correctly
Don’t crash
Rock ‘N’ Roll Lifestyle
I escaped my house for 20 minutes today. I went without children, without spouse. I pondered for a long time what to do with my freedom: buy a lapdance? Go to a bar and drink? Shop for expensive jewelery? See a friend? Get something waxed? Oh, the possiblities!
I went to the pharmacy, picked up $180 worth of long overdue prescription refills and got a flu shot.
Hot damn. I’m livin’ la vita loca now, baby.
Amen
In the whole vast and glorious Universe, no sound is more musical than my baby giggling in his sleep.
