catherineldfJust realized that I have no idea what I'm excerpting or how we're running the contest for the Thursday chat. Hopefully Jolie and Sherri have an idea. Should be exciting. :-)
Accomplishment for the weekend - finished my alternate history death of Christopher Marlowe story and got it out the door to submit for "Time Well Bent." V. pleased. Now I just need to finish the next story in time for the deadline I had to ask for extension on. Urgh.
We did manage to go catch Richard Thompson last night in St. Paul. It was a great show, though both of us like his acoustic ones better. He rocked out on some fun songs, old and new. I think the most powerful of the new ones is "Dad's Gonna Kill Me" (about Iraq) but I don't think I could listen to it over and over the way I do much of his other stuff.
The down side was that the sound was a lot louder than it needed to be and he likes a long guitar jam when he's amped up. Despite having spent a number of years living with a guitar god, I've never warmed up to them. A minute or two in and I've forgotten what song they were playing and mostly cease to care.
On the other hand, hey, it's Richard Thompson and I can listen to 'Beeswing' and '52 Vincent,'
among others, all day long and still love them. :-)

Date: 2007-06-14 12:13 am (UTC)I'll try to check out your blog tour thing tomorrow night at some point, although I have no idea how it works. If it's just a matter of posting comments, I may do so, but if it's technically "chat", I've never mastered the form and generally feel run over by a truck when I venture in.

Date: 2007-06-14 01:06 am (UTC)Though given the way the year has gone thus far, the fact that I managed to finish something at all is reason for cheer. Lordy, but I'm tired. :-(
And it ain't over yet.
Tomorrow night should be pretty low key - just posting comments and such. Glad you're coming along for the ride! :-)))
