It’s raining in my neck of the woods today. A cool, silver, gray drizzle that somehow makes everything seem darker and much more hushed. Makes me want to curl up with a good book or take a nap. 😎
What about you? Are you enjoying the weather in your neck of the woods? Are the leaves changing yet? I’m starting to see a few trees turning. I think the explosion of color is still a couple weeks away, though. Maybe today’s rain will help with that …
So I did some work on Assassin 3 this weekend, and I wrote a scene where Finnegan Lane drops barbecue sauce on his suit jacket. Finn is the foster brother/best friend/handler to Gin Blanco, the assassin. There’s nothing Finn likes more than a well-tailored suit, so staining his jacket upset him.
After I write this scene, I go out and get barbecue for lunch. And what happens? I drop baked beans all over my placemat on my kitchen table. Sigh … :rolleyes:
There are less than 50 days until the new James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, hits theaters. If you haven’t seen it, google the trailer and watch it. The movie looks just as gritty and action-packed as Casino Royale. Can you tell I’m excited? 😎
Also, on a completely unrelated note, I’m waiting for one more piece of info, and then I can announce some major good news here on the blog. I’m hoping to get the info by tomorrow so I can post it on Wednesday. Yes, I know I’m a tease … 😉
So I spent a big part of my Saturday cleaning my house. Dusting, washing the sheets, flipping the mattress, etc. And I’ve come to a conclusion — my bedframe hates me.
Seriously. The frame has these sharp little corners/edges, and the way my bedroom is set up, I have to walk really close to the edges. Every time I walk past, I almost always bump into them — and get these ugly scrapes on my legs.
Sadly, Saturday was no exception. So my house is now clean, but I’m bruised as a result. Sigh.
On the bright side, I did get some work on Assassin 3 done this week. Right now, I’m at 20,000 words and counting …
After a really dry summer, we’re finally getting some rain in my neck of the woods. In fact, it’s supposed to rain all week. Huzzah!
I love me some rainy days. I’d much rather the weather be cool and rainy than hot and sunny any day. Rain is much more conducive to things like napping, reading, and browsing through bookstores. At least in my mind. 😎
Of course, I shouldn’t be surprised by the rain. My family reunion is coming up this weekend. We could be in the worst drought in years, and it will still somehow find a way to rain on our reunion weekend. Seriously. It never fails. We had a bad drought last year, and guess when it rained? Family reunion weekend. Makes me wonder if my family’s done something to please or offend the rain gods …
