Whew! Ninety-five pages total on Magpie. Yeah! And I managed to wrestle Loung to the ground :P A lot became clear to me when I started writing in his POV, though, and found out he isn't truly free. Which is all the hint I'm going to give! I also posted five crits today, so am feeling less overwhelmed by the number I owe. I hate it when I owe too many, because then I start to review to get them out of the way, and not because I'm enjoying the story/want to read it. I don't think that's good for the people I crit or me.
Went grocery shopping last night and made my infamous dill/chickpea/feta salad for dinner. Sad as it is, I'm not too creative in the food department, and I usually eat one of four meals:
- Chicken with frozen veggie stirfry (A lot! A whole lot! Just ask my roommate. At least twice a week, if not more :P)
- Black bean and tomato soup
- Chicken & black bean tortillas
- Dill/chickpea/feta salad
Periodically, I try to branch out and make something new, but it's so time-consuming! Much as I hate to say it, if they ever invented a way to pop a pill rather than eat, I'd sign up for it. Then I tried to practice my vocal pieces for my audition and got very frustrated. My voice still isn't there yet. And all my practicing Sunday seems to have loosened up all the icky phlegm and stuff in my chest, so now I'm coughing up more! :( So I trooped upstairs, wasted time (not really, but it's not truly productive, and I tend to log in when I'm procrastinating) in the OWW chatroom, and then watched TV.
Oh, Sunday, I had fun catching up with Leane over coffee, and then we went to church. Yes, I sang, and no, I shouldn't have. But it was Easter and they sang some of my favorite songs! You try keeping your mouth shut when everyone around you is singing. Yeah, I know, I know, bad Dena (hangs head in shame).
Bit the bullet and sent an e-mail to my agent. Hate any form - even mild - of confrontation, but I really want to hear from him about the Carver. Then I e-mailed tons of people about Friday night. We're going to this bar called Dick's Last Resort to hear a band - Soul City - play. They're bluesy/jazz is how my friend Michele described them. The last time we tried to hear them we got to the bar just as they were pulling down :P so this time we're meeting up earlier. And today is feeling like a blah day. And like this post isn't that interesting. So I think I'll shut up now and try to find something to fill my last half hour of work (got here early today).
