Okay, at work have 11 hour days (one hour lunch) and now doing the 4 days on 3 days off :D which is kind of weird but kinda neat. So I have today and tomorrow off, and work Sat. Then the new work week which starts sunday, I have sunday off and then I get three days off cuz I took a Paid Time Off :D so I can go to CJ and Summer (not Jackel) 's wedding in SL where I'll be a groomsmaid. *does a happy vootie dance*
Also going to read the ARC for the new Kim Harrison novel "White Witch, Black Curse" later. Gonna make myself do chores first. I hope there is some good Ivy/Rachel stuff, as the last few books it sort of looks like the author is ditching the possibility of Ivy/Rachel except as a repetitive tease. Very disappointing as we are in what, book seven? And except for one kiss by Ivy (3 books ago), which Rachel didn't kiss back during, there's been nada on the love/romance angle of thier relationship. Considering that possible romance was the one really unique thing about this series amid the ocean of supernatural romance/adventure series, that's rather disappointing.
Lilith Saintcrow books has a lead heroine, Dante Valentine, has a history with same sex love, unfortunately in the past as her "present" romance is a male demon. sighs. I still haven't read the FINAL book of that heroine. The author of Witchling, Changeling, and Darkling has some promise, but again the love/romance interest of the 3 lead sisters are males (male witch, male were, male dragon, etc) I'm beginning to think if I want to have a heroine who is unflinchingly bisexual with a present day female love interest, I'll have to write her myself. Since we're coming into November I may take a stab at that for National Novel Writing Month.
I've had a modern supernatural trilogy loosely outlined from way back in the early 1990s that's been collecting dust in my files, but I've been mulling over of late. Little bits and pieces of it's world building keeps flashing in the back of my head lately. Not that there aren't a flood of supernatural/preternatural worlds hitting the bookshelves lately. I'm torn between that and the superhero genre I love so much. A lot of my friends were interested in writing projects/shared universe of an original super hero universe, back in the mid 90s, but nothing really came of it then. However recently Stephen and Kevin finished some novel length manuscripts (I think Kevin finished his I'll have to check) and Denis is close... So I'm think why not? Well except for having more projects on my plate now than I can really handle... But if not now when? I've come to the conclusion unless I totally give up sleep I'll never have time when I'm not gonna have two or three other projects running.
ooomg gotta do my bills today and clean laundry dishes etc... and mail out stuffs. Sending eS the advance copy of Swollowing Darkness I got last month. Trying to get her phone but I've done so many archive back ups I can't find it now. Will just have to mail it without warning I guess. I was going to wait till I got her the WWBC arc too, but my extra copies haven't got here yet and I'm sending the first copy to Dily. She can then loan it to Pendragon so he can read it until I get his personal copy. Also getting one for eS. I was going to put an ARC of WWBC as a prize this year for my hollows related mailing lists, like I did last year, but the person who won last year only posted once, to enter the contest, and after she got the book never posted again on the lists. Used much? Sorry this time if I have a contest it will only be with people who show enough interest to actually hang around and post more than once. Shakes head.
Going to have a Halloween party in Second Life this year. Gotta buy decorations and get the party area set up. My DJ lost his SAMs program to the XP3 Service Pack!!! AGggghhh!!! Pendragon, who DJ'd the Hollow's Hour was going to be my live DJ. His was a licensed copy, so hopefully we can recover SAM for him even without a physical disk.
Even with chores, having a day off is cool!!! I think I'd almost forgotten what it felt like O.o All the over time and stuff in the last few months, and new client training, even my few days off never really felt like real days off... wuff!!!
