Quickie post in bullets, ’cause I want to get to work on a couple writing projects ASAP!
- I’m not too happy with a certain person named after one of my favorite TV characters right now. “Jude” seems to be blowing me off left and right for “Tommy”.
- My back is killing me and has been since yesterday.
- I received my financial aid refund from this semester yesterday. It was for over $500 and is all going to the get-me-a-better-car-NOW fund.
- I plan on submitting to several writing contests in the next couple of weeks.
- I just realized that I have some Aleve in the house and it just might help my back.
- I picked up a copy of Stephenie Meyer’s The Host and plan on starting it as soon as I finish Stephen King’s Gerald’s Game — which is very good, by the way. I want to pick up copies of Cut (Patricia McCormick — all three of her books look good), Go Ask Alice (Anonymous, everyone should read this), The Giver (Lois Lowry, amazing YA novel) and a few other YA novels to get a feel for what the genre is looking for. (My NaNo novel this month is YA.)
- Mike turned 24 — and old in my opinion — as of the 10th. Happy birthday, oldtimer.
- I have three new poems I will post probably tomorrow. Thursday night put me in a poetry-writing mood. I think I like poetry now.
- There’s something wrong with this theme, so I’m pretty sure that these bullets are going to be FUBAR when I post this. I think it’s time for me to develop my own damn theme. Heh.
I promise a real post soon!
“Gerald’s Game” is one of two of Stephen King’s books that I did not like. I love all of his other stuff, too.
@Avitable: It’s definitely different from his usual stuff, but I think that’s why I liked it so much. What’s your favorite SK book?
Hm. For pure horror, IT. For sheer cleverness, the pairing of Desperation and The Regulators. For apocalyptic drama, The Stand, and for an opus, the Dark Tower series.
@Avitable: I loved The Regulators; haven’t gotten around to Desperation yet. I’ve never read IT but I will, eventually. Heh. The Stand and The Dark Tower series are my all-time favorite King works. Have you read the Marvel comic adaptations? They’re amazing. They’re a lot like what I imagined while I read the books.
