Well, let's see. So far today, I've...<br /><br />...processed buckets of edits for <i>Discount Armageddon</i>, which I'm planning to get back to work on real soon now. I spent a few hours last night picking <span class="ljuser i-ljuser i-ljuser-type-P " data-ljuser="stealthcello" lj:user="stealthcello" ><a href="http://stealthcello.livejournal.com/profile" target="_self" class="i-ljuser-profile" ><img class="i-ljuser-userhead" src="http://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/userinfo_v8.svg?v=17080?v=158.1" /></a><a href="http://stealthcello.livejournal.com/" class="i-ljuser-username" target="_self" ><b>stealthcello</b></a></span>'s brain about competition-level ballroom and tango dancing (hint: it's complicated stuff), and I now feel much more equipped to write the next chapter, which involves an Argentine tango competition, Verity in a very skimpy dress, and, yes, knives. Almost any chapter that involves Verity involves knives. She's comfortably predictable that way.<br /><br />...received a new blurb for <i>Rosemary and Rue</i>, resulting in squealing and jubilation. I am so seriously stoked about the blurbs I've managed to collect so far, all of which are wonderful and perfect and totally different. It's like kittens. No two kittens are alike, but as soon as they're <i>your</i> kittens, they become the most magical, wonderful things ever to wander across the face of the planet. I like kittens.<br /><br />...also received the second icon and first wallpaper for the <i>Rosemary and Rue</i> promo set. All icons and wallpapers in this set are being designed by the ineffable <span class="ljuser i-ljuser i-ljuser-type-P " data-ljuser="taraoshea" lj:user="taraoshea" ><a href="http://taraoshea.livejournal.com/profile" target="_self" class="i-ljuser-profile" ><img class="i-ljuser-userhead" src="http://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/userinfo_v8.svg?v=17080?v=158.1" /></a><a href="http://taraoshea.livejournal.com/" class="i-ljuser-username" target="_self" ><b>taraoshea</b></a></span>, who is really a goddess of graphic design. I am totally ecstatic, and can't wait to make them public for your enjoyment and (hopeful) use. Remember, nothing says 'love' like a blood-drenched San Francisco skyline!<br /><br />...packed all pending pre-orders through 190, and signed and numbered through 200. So there's a max of 100 CDs left to go (I'm still taking increasingly mis-named 'pre-orders' via the website, because it's all about paying my engineer). If I finish the list before hitting 300, we'll just close out the pre-order run early, thus making the numbers even more surreal in future years. (Also creating the opportunity for funny, funny hoaxes on the part of inventive people with pens and copies of my CD.)<br /><br />...watched two more episodes of my crazy Australian mermaid show.<br /><br />What's up with you?
