Well, nothing much, really.  I spent most of last night drinking wine on the couch, while watching 'Sheer Genius' and writing FAA 13.  Chapter's approximately half done, but I'm not sure how I like it.  Did manage to make it through the night and to Friday morning, so that's a step in the right direction.  I thought about putting time stamps on the chapters, then thought it might be too distracting for the readers.  I do have a timeline I'm working from, though, if anyone is interested.

On a totally un BtVS-related fandom note:  I started writing a James Bond fic about 10 years ago, and it never really went anywhere; but I was wondering if anyone here knows anything about the fandom.  Is there a fic community?  Also, would any of you be interested in reading this story, if I decided to finish it?  I got to thinking about it today, and it won't go away.

Local news:  the DC Best of the 48-hour film project show tonight at the AFI theatre in Silver Spring.  Friends, and friends of friends, in several of the showings; which are up for awards.  Congratulations!  On a sad-ish note, my favorite boutique clothing store is closing its doors on June 30; no more cute, brightly colored tops and unique skirts and dresses to be had; well, not until I find another place.  I went by today and used up a store credit I had hanging around from February.  I'll probably go back, although I noticed today that the pickings are kind of slim already.\

So like I said, not much going on.  More yard work on the horizon before next week, movers coming Monday; should vaccum the upstairs, hose off the patio, and wash the porch railings ASAP.  Movies and mexican food tonight; possibly happy hour and the awards presentation after.

More later.

And by she, of course, I mean me.

I was told by the assistant office manager (that's not her title, but it's essentially her job) that the way I should deal with rejections is that, if I haven't gotten around to them in two months, I should just toss the resumes and not bother to send responses.  Which is a really weird thing to hear, since when I started doing the rejections, I was told that they wanted me to keep copies of everything I got and sent for recording & tracking.  Not sure what they were trying to record & track, but they said it was important, so I did.  I wonder if the policy changed, or if the person who taught me to do the rejections was just whacko (she doesn't work here anymore, so I can say that).

Writing has not been easy lately...There was the burst of inspiration regarding a story I actually didn't mean to write yet, but nothing on the chapter so incredibly overdue.  I've already had to revise the first section twice, had to revise my plan for the second section due to timeline/continuity problems, scrapped my original second section, re-wrote it, and have scrapped it again to go with a new narrator.

At times like these, I wish I was either insane, or had magickal powers.  I'd love to take all the voices out of my head, sit them down, and have a nice chat.  Of course, some of them deserve a good whallopin', but that's another story.

With bills almost caught up, my work life should become more interesting.  Or, at least, I live in hope.  At least there's a PARTY!!! tomorrow night.  Got the birthday girl a neat gift, and wrapping paper just as neat, and myself a cool new outfit.  Go me!

Thursday; it's not just the day before Friday; it's the light at the end of the tunnel.
