Sunday roundup
Jun. 3rd, 2007 08:18 amFor those who keep track of these things, I bought two pairs of New Balance shoes at the Famous Footwear "Second pair half off" sale yesterday. Road-tested one pair in my peregrinations last night, because I did split my time between party and MSFB (which had been my original plan, although it was nice to have cosmic permission to stay at the birthday party.) The party started several hours before the MSFB, so I put in as much time as my knees would permit at a split-level location. Hugged the birthday boy and his wife several times, met some new people who work at the same company I do, and got to see the reaction to the big present - a customized filk song by Tom Smith.
I'd sent some raffle money to the MSFB with M, and when I arrived I ended up putting a little more in. Doesn't look like I won anything, alas, although my luck was due to change eventually. I've been winning a lot. To tell the truth, I didn't think that much of the swing band that had been specially imported. Too lounge-y sort of music. Still, my attendance record remains unbroken, and it was nice to talk to folks.
Have nothing more coherent to say about last night's Who other than a long, admiring DAAAAAAMN! Beautiful ep, and Cornell did great things with the retooling of the plot. Frankly, I'd found the book a bit vague, over the top, and incoherent. By having to refocus to a visual media (with time off dialog for screaming and running), he stripped the plot down to its heart without wandering off point with "Whee! I can do things like ( book spoiler. )
Sunday 7:
1 & 2) Emptied container shelf in basement to store stuff to listen to/watch while exercising instead. Donated vases and cups to Prepare for Fair, and will take one tea bowl to work to hold paperclips.
Cleaned out bookcase in hall where I keep the review books:
3) Threw out the ID bracelet from the ER room all those months ago. (This is why I need a Sunday 7; I throw things like that in corners and forget about them.)
4) Donated couple of cuff bracelets to Prepare for Fair
5) Tossed broken knitting needle (see comment on 3)
6) Tossed random papers and bookmarks
7) Tossed random keychain. Put key to radiators back where it belongs.
Something so monumental arrived in the mail yesterday that I'm still sorting out my feelings about it: The contract - and check for the first story I ever sold.
Now must come up with plot for the pitch that's due on July 1, not to mention finish & post the story I started after 42!
And now for something completely random taken from the f-list: a link to Steam Trek: The Moving Picture. Almost ten minutes is long for a YouTube bit, but this is SO worth it!
