This is more like it! (sort of)
It's not even 6 AM yet and it is already 66 degrees Fahrenheit out there, gang! And it's going up to 72 today.
The catch??? Yes, thunderstorms and high winds expected. Which means I still won't be able to start back on my walks. Darn it.
(Good thing I have this blog, isn't it? Otherwise you wouldn't know what the god-damned weather report was around here everyday.) (And speaking of my blog, in the unlikely event that you are a hardcore reader of all 4 of my blogs, you will by now have noticed that all four of them are running the same content daily. It's the only way to keep from going insane, gang. The good news, though, is that I dropped the wordpress blog and the facebook blog a long time ago.) (My wordpress blog was the most fun one! I wrote under a cute pen name and had links to all my favorite YouPorn videos!!) (That girl in the green sweater on her desk in the office -- wow! She was the best!! That was quite a long time ago, though.)
Okay. Enough with the parentheses. You know how hard it is to get me to stop once I get going with those!
My phone chat with my ex-husband, Wayne, went splendidly yesterday. I am so psyched to get back at the crime novel (The Violin Girl). He had such great advice. And he really only suggested 3 minor changes. It really helped give me clarity about why it wasn't working and also why it was working. It's always inspiring when someone really likes what you're writing and wants to see more right away, you know?
As far as the aborted spring cleaning... I'm not even going to discuss it, gang. I spent most of the weekend getting some online promotional stuff in place for my newest novel Twilight of the Immortal. At some point the house will be clean again. I know it will. Mom is coming for Easter Sunday so certainly by then it will be clean!! (It would also help my energy-level if I was just permanently on West Coast time. All these conference calls from L.A. really wreak havoc on my body clock.)
Remember when I was going to keep my life simple??? I think there were about 4 days of that, back in, like, early 2001. I remember I was crossing an intersection at W. 98th Street and West End Avenue, heading home, thinking to myself, "Gosh, life has gotten so simple; I like this feeling."
Then, that was it.
Well, I was actually toying with seeing Rango again this afternoon. For some happy reason I have acquired several free gift cards for AMC movie theaters and Rango is the only thing playing there that I want to see. (There are other movies I want to see, but they are all at the Drexel, the art house cinema where I don't happen to have a ton of free gift cards.)
However. The popcorn machine got screwy at the AMC theater yesterday and set off the ceiling sprinklers! So I don't think I'm going to be able to go. Most people probably think that seeing Rango twice in a month is enough. But you know, it isn't just the movie; for me I really need to just go disappear and turn off the world for awhile & stop thinking so much, and for some reason I have always loved doing that in movie theaters. I have always been that way. Unfortunately, movie ticket prices being what they are now, it's kind of impossible to do that anymore. Which is why gift cards to movie theaters are a real godsend for me! (Which is why they should have more movies at AMC that I actually want to see!) As gifts, I prefer movie gift cards over, like, you know, diamonds and furs. (Although I do love receiving flowers!! So that's a bit of a toss-up. If you're pondering whether to give me movie theater gift cards or flowers, you're on your own, folks. But trust that I will be just thrilled to receive either one!!)
Okay, we'll see how today pans out. I might just work on the new novel. The only thing I know for sure is that I'm meeting my cousin for coffee at 2:45 PM Eastern Time. The rest is up to destiny!!
See ya, gang. Hope Monday brings you some great stuff. Thanks for visiting!
