I really need to get started on a long short story so that I can get at least one of those subbed before I have to return to work. That will have to be my project for today - looks like it's going to be another wet one.
So far it's a toss up between 'Curious Robot' and 'Hand Scratched Note' for my favourite story, with Uncle Eric's Leather Bound Tale being the one I expect to be rejected hyper fast - I'm hoping it's funny but as hard as I tried to make it dark it just wouldn't co-operate.
Bought a collection of DVDs yesterday (some oldies - Flatliners (with the ever gorgeous Kiefer Sutherland), Twelve Monkeys (ranked in the top 10 of my favourite films), The Amityville Horror (both the original and the new); some newbies - The Astronaut Farmer and The Messengers).

You are knocking it out of the park! Sounds like the perfect vacation...
Nah! The perfect vacation would be a beach in Hawaii not rain and a dark study in England. ;)
The grass is always greener on the other side. In Georgia, I'm writing in a closet. Outside, it's expected to hit 95 degrees today, and we've been in a drought with water restrictions for over a year. If I go near a beach right, now, I think my fingers and toes will curl up and begin to slowly sizzle like bacon. Give me a dark study in rainy England any day!
High five to you! I can't believe how prolific you are. Good luck!
Y'know...Astronaut Farmer was really good...it's one of those movies that I watched and when it was done I said, "Eh, it was okay", but everytime I see it on TV or in the videostore, I want to see it again.
I hear you Jeremy - 95 degrees would have me itching for rain too.
Cheers, Danette. It can't last much longer.
Barry, 'Astronaut Farmer' had such a cool cover I couldn't not buy it. Plus Billy Bob is always good value.
You ambitious little monkey : ) Keep this up and you'll be famous by New Year!
Do I have to wait for New Year? I was aiming for Halloween ;)
Yipes. I'm adding your blog to my list of reads simply for the motivation. Because now, I feel like such a slacker that I've got to go write! You go, lady!
Cheers, Carrie :)
