Monday This & That

Well, the weekend went by rather quickly and uneventfully. Our anniversary dinner was take out Chinese. Nothing all that special there, though we did rent The Orphan, which I really enjoyed. For once, I couldn’t guess what was going on, a fact my husband even commented on out loud. Between the two of us, we can usually work out how a show or film is going and how it will end before we’re even half done. Not so with the Orphan, which was a surprising change of pace. We also rented The Proposal, which was another great film in a less spooky, suspenseful way. So if you haven’t seen either, they both get a thumbs up from me.

I spent the weekend eyeballing video games. Don’t get me wrong. I love and am totally addicted to World of WarCraft, however, after two and half years of playing, it’s beginning to get repetitive. I need a change, at least until the next expansion pack comes out. I’m looking at Lord of the Rings online, Spore (played the Nintendo DS version and enjoyed it), Demigod, Sacred 2 (played the first and really liked it) and some others I can’t recall offhand, but I did take pictures of them in the store so I wouldn’t forget. Why pictures? For once, I didn’t have pen and paper handy. I know, the horror of it all. Where I would prefer something non-subscription based to play, I am playing the 10 day trial of Lord of the Rings online and so far, it’s not that bad. I’m also waiting for Diablo III. The second Diablo totally rocked.

I ended up sick again over the weekend, which has lingered on until this morning. Just another reason to hate this time of the year. I get sick even more frequently than any other time of the year, which totally sucks for me. So needless to say, no writing over the weekend, not that I really expected to get anything done since it was my anniversary. I do hope to get the WIP finished up before my birthday, though, and the Thanksgiving holiday because that’s when the hectic holiday season really kicks in around here and I’ll be super busy with all that. Of course, I’ll have edits to do somewhere in there, but I’m not too worried about those. The super hard part will be over—rewrites, and that’s all that worries me at this point.

And with that, I think I’m going to go kick back for a while. If I’m lucky, I’ll feel better later and can get some more words cranked out onto the pages of my WIP. Wish me luck on that. Each word is another step closer to being done. :)

Oh and a quick note before I go. When I post here on my own blog or on others, I tend to type up posts the way I speak not the way I write out my books. Just thought I’d point that out. The way one is written isn’t necessarily an indicator of how the other is done. I’m just funny that way. :^P WHy mention it now? The thought hit me this morning was I went about my morning blog rounds, so I thought I’d share.
