Rejection? Moving on
It’s been quiet around here. Not literally, of course. I’m burning the candle at both ends again… yes the term started, on Monday. I think I already see new gray hairs. But I’ve been doing a lot of running around, trying to organize things for a new addition to our household (No, I am not [...]
Done and Done
My first submission for the term has been turned in. Twice. I forgot to number the pages, and I think I still had a bunch of highlighted words in the text. I overuse certain words: darkness, stumble, was, is, he, she. Okay those last two are just for funsies, but I do overuse words. I [...]
Updates and Whatnots
Things to discuss: Full Manuscript request, loss of other domain name, dead radio and getting hit at New Seasons (the car, not me), travels, school, pickled livers, and laughter. This weekend started off well. It’s been hotter than the devil’s taint, here in loverly Portland. The hubbie and I gallivanted down to an impromptu happy [...]
I’m always freaking busy
I think I promised less bullet points. I lied. David traveled to the steaming pile of swamp that is Florida to visit his family. He had an okay time, visited with old friends, hung out with the fam, got sunburned (although the claims he didn’t…. my man is very pale), and returned to civilization. I [...]
And now comes the hard part
So I’ve finished this term for my MFA. I forgot how hard it is being in a proper program. That is not to say that my MA was wasted, but everything seemed easier. Instead of classes that sucked up my weekend, I actually procrastinated. I must tell you, I’m a damn fine procrastinator. I actually [...]
Leaving
I’m taking the red eye to Pennsylvania for school tonight.. I had a bunch of pithy things to say, but right now I am really concerned that I won’t rip enough Battlestar Gallactica to keep myself entertained. That being said, I will sign off for the day. Or at least until I arrive in Seattle [...]
The Coming Week
I’m exhausted, and need to get my ass to bed at a decent hour. I will be rising at 5:00 all week so that I can put in 12 hour days Monday through Wednesday. I leave Thursday night for school. It’s been 6 months and this will be my last term before graduation. Can you [...]
NaNoWriMo, and a good phone call
Calie, my wonderfully brilliant critique partner lives in Wilmington, NC. She called me from an Obama benefit where James Taylor was singing. Calie works in a theatre, and has many fun stories about the theatre antics. And I got an e-mail from her this week saying that she would be at the event. But the [...]
I think I just swallowed my stomach – the long post
It dawned on me, around 3 this morning, that I have a shitload of work to do. And on top of that, I believe that I wont get the funding I need for my next semester. Still not sure WTF is going on with that. I should ask someone. Let’s add that to our list [...]
Why am I always playing catch up?
This is bullet-form day. I rarely have time to blog anymore with my schedule. Work is nuts, all the time, which is a good thing. I’m never bored, but there are rarely lulls that would allow me to blog. And by the time I get home, I just want to unwind. The Best Compliment – [...]
The deadline looms
I think I am going to be MIA for most of the week. I have my first deadline for this term on Thursday and I still have a LOT of work to do. The birthday bash was super fun. I had a margarita that I fell in love with – but after 3, I still [...]
Because the internet hates me
So, I’ve not had the opportunity to get on the internets at school as I had planned. The wireless system isn’t the best and since I wiped the Mac, I need to get my laptop all shiny with the network. I hate IT. So, I haven’t done a thing to get on the system and [...]
Little intrusion
This is the blog entries where I sit and wallow in introspection and discuss those things that mean the most to me: The Moosey restraunt with the soup, family ties, writing, and my period. First, because it’s the most soap-opera-ish of the bunch, the family ties. I’ll keep it brief. My stepmother lives about a [...]
Panic
I don’t have enough time to breathe, finish my reading (I spent WAY too much time on that fucking Marie Antionette biography), and finish my writing. I’m trying to make sure I have time for everything, and I do, I just have to stop spinning my wheels and STFU. We took the Max all over [...]
Dayquil for days
Multiple days of being sick…again, have put me behind my deadline for school. I’m still under the weather, at work, and I think my fever just came back. I’ve been sick more since I got to Oregon than the whole time I was in Florida. I think Oregon is trying to kill me. Or tell [...]
And now…with OCD
I don’t know if I was actually avoiding finishing my pages for the month, but instead of focusing on POV or cleaning the house, D and I rearranged our home. Once the thought entered my mind, I couldn’t focus on anythign else. We had to move the rooms around. Must. Move. Furniture. The dining table [...]
Hello Stranger
I am doing this too often. Yes, not keeping in touch. It’s been crazy around here. But I have a new announcement, which will only mean something awesome to some of you. My novel is 90 pages. Huzzah. I’ve been writing my happy ass off now, and it’s due tomorrow, and there is a LOT [...]
Quick
He’s home. After 7 days of running around the neighborhood, we got the call. He’s skinnier, whiney, and smells funny, but my cat is home. Surprisingly, Voodoo is not happy. He keeps hissing at Valentine. I wish I spoke cat. After 7 days of sleeping in the living room because I was so congested and [...]
Downloading and downtime
I played Halo last night with my sister and D. I realized a few weeks ago that she stopped blogging because of Halo, and I stopped writing. That’s changing. I think video games, at least for me, are like dessert. I’m allowed to have them, in moderation. Moderation isn’t one of my favorite words. Let’s [...]
Alone in my room
Some observations before I fall asleep. Because I’ve gone all insominiac on the east coast, and it sucks. Conversation is one of the finest gifts that a person can share. I just had an amazing conversation with one of my residency girls, and I think I made a good friend for a long time. When [...]
