Cloudy and a little cooler
I’m starting to feel human again!
Today’s serial episode is from ANGEL HUNT:
Episode 144: Healthy Love Choices
A tough love talk from Lianna’s patron goddess.
Only TWO more episodes in the season! Yes, by the end of next week, ANGEL HUNT is done, and the seasons of all three Vella serials are complete.
The take-down request for DEADLY DRAMATICS goes in toward the end of next week, so if you haven’t started to binge read that one, I suggest you get started on it now here.
I was dragging yesterday. I did some house and home stuff. I put new batteries in the memory clock in the living room and in my pendulum clock in my office. I forgot how much noise the latter clock makes, but it’s kind of comforting, too.
I wrote 6 pages on a weird little screenplay idea that dropped into my head, different from other weird idea that dropped into my head a few days ago. No idea if either will lead anywhere, but they are fun to play with.
I turned around two script coverages. Unless something comes in today for a quick turnaround, I’m done for the week. A little under what I hoped to earn, but not too bad. If I have a steady week next week, it’s all good.
Used the baby Bok choy and sweet onions from the CSA along with some chicken over rice for a yummy dinner. Our first gelato of the season for dessert.
Read Sara Saretzky’s GUARDIAN ANGEL in the evening. Had trouble with it, even though it was good. Didn’t feel one of the antagonists was handled harshly enough for justice at the end. I understand why that choice was made and respect it, but I wanted a much harsher and more violent end for that particular individual.
It finally started raining around 8 PM and things cooled off a bit. It was okay sleeping weather.
We finally got an update from the Kickstarter creator. More delays; I think the creator is lying through their teeth. I have some knowledge about what they claim is causing the delays, and it only takes a week or two to fix, not four months. The next promise is that we’ll get our orders at the end of July. I’m sure there will be more excuses. And the fact that Kickstarter just does nothing but shrug and say, “too bad for you” is infuriating. They are supposed to vet creators before allowing them on the site. I don’t believe anything this creator has to say at this point. It’s lie after lie after lie. All of what is claimed as reasons for delay were things that should/could have been solved before the Kickstarter ever launched. And, if they weren’t, NONE of them would take more than a week or two to resolve. Not six months. It’s a delay tactic to keep stringing us along, because this creator has no intention of fulfilling the orders. I’m only out a single item, and while I’m annoyed, because that money could have been placed with a legitimate creator, I’m not affected as badly as those who ordered 200 or 300.
Up early this morning. I want to get some writing done. I have a library run to make, and then it’s cleaning. My office has become a bit disorganized (although I know where everything is), and I need to set it to rights before company comes.
Later this evening, I’m going to an art opening a colleague curated, and then to a poetry reading at the local bookshop.
Tomorrow is about more cleaning, probably. Gosh, it sounds like the place is a wreck, and it’s really not. But we are in a city, and things get dusty/grimy and need more attention sometimes than at others, especially with the windows open. I need to do some ironing, too, and then maybe I’ll finally get my closet turned over for the summer.
Sunday, our company visits, and once they head out, we’ll just relax.
Hopefully, next week will be busy for client work. But I intend to enjoy the weekend! It’s supposed to be rainy, so I probably won’t do much outside, but we’ll see how things shake out.
Have a great weekend!
