Poor Neglected Readers
06/08/2009
I have been neglecting my few readers lately.
Here’s the latest (for those who care):
- I spent 4 hours in a photo studio Sunday taking pictures of models. When I walked in, I had to inform them that I was a photographer–not a model. Apparently it’s not easy to tell. Now that I have almost 200 photos that need post work, I’ll be stuck to Lightroom for days.
- My sister and her family returned unscathed from Southlands Mall in Aurora, CO where a tornado touched down Sunday–perhaps while I was blissfully taking photographs.
- My novel has been edited. It may not be perfect (although I doubt there are errors), but I’m not going to spend years of my life perfecting every sentence. That’s just nuts.
- My dog is still driving me crazy. Long ago, in a galaxy not far from here, he was trained. Now that training is mostly non-existent. Perhaps the dog was taken over by an alien dog being.
- Had I been able to catch my black cat flying across my desk, I would have taught him a lesson too. After the flyby, I spent 20 minutes cleaning up the water the cat spilled from my full glass.
- For some unknown reason, another cat continues to poop under my dining table. Sprays and carpet cleaning have not stopped him. Removing the dog has not stopped him.
- My last job interview resulted in a rejection email a week later. No explanation. Phone calls have proven ineffective. NEXT!
- Novel is being marketed. Now I wait.
- I have editing to do on a friend’s autobiographical stories. I have avoided doing much for a couple of months. It’s not like I’m getting paid to edit. It’s major editing. The few stories I have edited are almost entirely red (editing feature is ON in Word). I spent an hour on it today with the author.
- Against my better judgment, I lent my Indiana Jones (Crystal Skull) DVD to a friend. Any bets on when it comes back? How many times will I have to call to remind him?
That’s all for now. I think 10 is a nice round number. Not too many to read, and it looks like I have been up to something.
