annoyed2. Fourteen days. Just saying.
3. My new Netbook is a joy and a wonder, except when it's royally fucking stuff up. Most recently, it has elected to royally fuck up the .ms of Red Hood's Revenge that I was giving a quick polish for Jim. I'm attempting file recovery now, and if that doesn't work, I'll just go through the .ms a second time. Thankfully, it was relatively clean.
4. Also thankfully, my Netbook did not elect to royally fuck up the latest draft of The Brightest Fell (Toby Daye, book five). This is A Very Good Thing. I would be substantially less sanguine about that particular rewrite. There might be screaming, and possibly the eating of human flesh. Mmmm, human flesh.
5. The incredibly awesome stick insect that has been sticking to Kate and GP's front door frame for the last few weeks was gone this morning when I went out to meet the bus. I wish him all good things in his future endeavors, and hope that he is not inside the house, preparing to crawl into someone's ear.
6. I have decided that I don't like second books in trilogies that don't admit to being trilogies when I pick them up. There will be more on this later.
7. I want a nap.
How's by you?

2. I can wait. I have to. That said, I am looking forward to having something awesome to read. If you read what I've had to make do with on GoodReads, you will know this for a fact.
3. I envy you the Netbook. I do not envy you the harrassment.
4. *fistpumps*
5. I have an awesome Golden Orb spider on my front porch right now. Every night I think the birds have gotten her, but every morning - nope! There she is, with a brand new web and she is total AWESOME. Or maybe she has a buttload of sisters. I'm not sure.
6. I hate bad books that claim to be the beginning of a trilogy when I DO pick them up. Like - not even the first few chapters of a good book, and now I have to wait for the rest of the story why? *grumbles* No, not your publisher and not recently. But. Erg. Bad planning, bad marketing and writing to those parameters. FAIL.
7. Ditto. I may actually get it today.
For myself:
a. The boy is now 4 and we all survived the party. There's lot of screaming left. Rey needs some awesome for all the yeoman duties.
b. I want a retreat for my birthday. I'll take suggestions. I'd love a writer's retreat in the woods. I'll take yoga at the beach. Something. Calgon is not cutting it anymore.
c. If they make a My Little Pony thumbdrive, you need it. Points if you can wear it around your neck.
