Odds and ends of a weekend

[catherineldf]

Busily toiling away on new stories. What is hopefully the title story for my new collection is coming along. I'm hoping to have a draft done tonight or tomorrow. I just finished a draft of a story someone asked me for awhile back, which is now due in 2 weeks, so that just leaves 2 more stories to write this month. Silver Moon got shot down at Agent #2 so we're on to Agent # 3 who wants a synopsis, which I don't have yet so that's the other thing what needs to be written. Still hoping to get that drafted between tonight and tomorrow. And I'll sleep when I'm dead, as per the usual.

Other than that, it's been a lively week with work stuff and some socializing. We had friends over on Friday to watch Michelle Yeoh in Wing Chun (best food-related fight scene ever!) and the "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" (also known as the lesbian vampire episode) of Xena. Now I want to watch all 7 seasons back to back but so do not have the time. Yesterday was a foray in the rain to the Stonearch Arts Festival where earrings and a necklace were bought. Then Jana and I were off to see Cirque du Soleil's production Ovo down by Ikea. This was a lot of fun, though the quasi-romantic elements of the plot got tiresome. The costumes, music and acrobatics more than made up for it though.

I've got some more sombre news which I'll post separately. Otherwise, onward and upward!
