Author-squee!

A day of double blessings! First, the e-mail letting me know that Allegra's just about ready to be shipped, and the tracking number will be e-mailed later on today. Second, Rihannsu: The Empty Chair has gone to the publisher.

Can it get any better?

I will have no foolish mouse-clicking!

So yesterday I first slept in, then got caught up on the doings on the internet, then ran out to go get a blasted microphone for the computer, since it was clear that the built-in one was nonfunctional. So. I have that.

I also have a little bit of hardware who wanted to be named after a guest at elance and wibbble's wedding, but when I refused, would have settled to be named Red, but jumped at the chance to be named Lake. (Is it going to go after the gory news stories and hurt/comfort fic?)

I stopped by Trader Joe's, and experimented a little more with the chicken. The addition of chopped carrots to the chicken and actual orange juice concentrate to the sauce made it palatable, but not extraordinary.

Today may well be a nuttily busy day. I'm trying to get out the door, but not before eating breakfast, reading e-mail, and getting Lake set up on Thalia.

The guy next to me really needs to tell his girl to take a photo of her panties and send it to his phone. TMI. WTFTMI.

Seems that the bus no longer takes bank cards. This was a setback to the schedule. This bus is crowded. Text messages yay

Rhi: If you can, get a PO box now. You'd have a mail drop He couldn't tamper with as long as you have transport.

Plasma. Planet of the Apes today. Need more time to just write. Graffiti 2 is confusing for old school geeks.

No wonder your ass gets no respect: you're rude to people who are polite to you. And that makes you all manly? nitwit.

Chemical plant @ 19 & McDowell SW fire. Taking photos. Crappy ones. Small fire. Hazmat team on scene.

One bus broke down. One was very late. One arrived so early the late bus caught up. So I had a 45 minute wait for the 17.

Meanwhile I photographed the fire and the trucks and the helicopter and all. Not a big fire, but badly located.

My instinct when faced with crisis now is to act, notify pros, then document. I called the fire department first.

Hearing IM chimes on the bus is always odd. This bus smells neutral, neither hot metal nor old sweat.

Why can't I work on crossover any other place? I frustrate myself. Group was small but good. Laser Mom should come.
