General musings

  • You know your hands are cold …

    When the biometric scanner at work won’t scan your hand. Evidently, my hands are as cold as death today. :rolleyes:

    I really need to make myself a pair of gloves with the fingertips cut out so I can still type and keep my hands warm. Yeah, I think I’ll be rocking some hobo gloves at the office soon …

  • Weekend plans …

    1) Write some more on Quiver, my young adult fantasy. I’m up to 16,000 words and change, and I want to crank at out least 10,000 more (craptastic) words this weekend. We’ll see how much my carpal tunnel wrist actually lets me get done.

    2) Finish reading No Rest for the Wicked by Kresley Cole. I’m so digging her Immortals After Dark series.

    3) Start reading a new book.

    4) Resist the urge to go to Books-A-Million and see what’s new. Must … resist … shiny … covers …

    5) Drag Wheezley to Office Depot. Because I have coupons and there is a serious dearth of Sharpies on my desk. Wha-ha-ha! 😈

    What about you guys? Got any big weekend plans?

  • Shock the world …

    How about them Cardinals? I think I’ll have to root for them in the Super Bowl, just because it’s such a great story — and because they haven’t won a title in something like 60 years.

    Sorry Wheezley, sorry Super Librarian Amy (both of whom are die-hard Steelers fans).

    Wheezley also pointed out that somewhere there is probably a person who bet way back at the beginning of the season that the Cardinals would win the Super Bowl this year. I wonder what the odds were on a bet like that. Wouldn’t you like that payoff, if they pull it off? 😎

    Random quote …

    So I’ve been going back and listening to all my old Jimmy Buffett CDs. (I’m a huge fan of his). And I came across this little gem of a line from a song called If I Could Just Get It Down On Paper:

    Life and ink

    They run out at the same time

    Or so said

    My old friend the squid

    I think the first two lines are a perfect motto for writers, don’t you? 😎
