Shooting at Target
I was sitting during the intermission of The Color Purple (in the always fabulous DPAC) when my friend informed me of a shooting at the Beaver Creek Super Target ( Read more... ) -
Trying to Make 2010 the BEST YEAR EVAH!
Although I was bummed to not be out and about partying like most lively 30 year olds, I actually enjoyed my New Years Eve. I was at a snowy cabin in the mountains celebrating with family members. We laughed. We played Bingo involving silly gifts from the Dollar General. I didn't work the following day. My mom announced, "This is going to be the ( Read more... ) -
Even More Novel Perfecting
Over my trip at Gettysburg, I did manage to revisit Ange's (the main character) portion of my book 1, Adamant: Enemy of Elsinaire. I restored earlier drafts to get back to the girly, innocent Ange and even wrote a few sections where she and Nellwyn spat like real sisters do. This has felt amazingly essntial to the book as a whole, because as much ( Read more... ) -
For Those It May Concern
I've been working on my novel again (finally) and posted another progress report here: http://adamanttofinishthisbook.blogspot.com/.
I'm also finished reading my latest book, so I may be moving on to Joe Abercrombie's The Blade Itself which feels very similar to my own scribblings. Hopefully I'll get inspiration! -
Books, books, books
Nothing has happened to my novel in years, if I'm being honest. Back in February, I had a new spiral-bound copy made at Office Depot, and I haven't cracked the thing yet, despite carting it to my parents' house, the cabin, Rhode Island, Florida, and so on. One of my summer goals this year is to query agencies again, even though I'm quite aware ( Read more... ) -
Today's my birthday, thus time to post horoscopes!
March 19, 2009
You will have energy to spare over the coming 12 months and there are both positive and negative ways in which you can choose to use it. Sports and other competitive activities will not only bring physical benefits but emotional and mental advantages too.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (MARCH 19). You want to improve because you know it will ( Read more... ) -
Food and friends
On Friday, I made a disastrous soup. I excitedly pulled out my new stock pot, threw in the ingredients, and peeled 3 lbs. of sweet potatoes. Chopping them up took work, too! Then I added peanut butter. This recipe came from Bob Greene: The Best Life Diet Cookbook. So it was also supposed to be good for you. When Mom and Dad came over, Mom brought a ( Read more... ) -
Geektastic: Incoming DVDs
For my first post of the year, I've decided to write about something geektastic -- my impending arrival of Tudors: Season 2 and Battlestar Galacitca: Seasion 4.0. I should get both of them tomorrow. I've had them both pre-ordered since August of last year or thereabouts, so yeah, I'm excited!
Season 2 of Tudors was fantastic. I think Showtime hit ( Read more... ) -

The Thanksgiving summary
Thanksgiving was good. Not very stressful except for the "prior" bits. I know Mom was running around crazy while cooking, because I was bemoaning making my whopping 2 dishes in comparison with her 835843 ones, including the turkey and a ham. I'm glad I did though. I do like my new scalloped corn dish (pictures will be forthcoming) and everyone was ( Read more... )
