the health fair was on over the weekend. it was good. it was great to hang out with penelope_stone for the whole weekend.
i have a 16week plan. it involves spending one week on each of the 16 chapters in my book and getting the editing finished by january. (i am ignoring the fact that there are 17 chapters in my book - because i keep forgetting about ch. 11.5. a 16week plan rolls off the tongue easier than a 17 week plan. 17 is just too long to say; like 1, 1000. 2, 1000. 17, 1000 is way longer than 1 second. (i see i haven't lost my ability to ramble randomly on here, that's good. because i'm really not sure how many readers will have made it out of this little bracket unscarred.))
i developed a cold yesterday, somewhere between the train, the cinema and food. i felt it coming on during dinner and i thought it was just an affect of warm food and cold drink, but no. i now have a roll of tissue beside me (well, actually i have a glass of multivitamin in pineapple juice beside me, but the tissue was there a minute ago, before i got the multivitamin).
ooh - the cinema... i went to see dorian grey. every time someone said dorian's name all i could think of was dorian from the night angel trilogy. it was a bit wierd. but the film was good. definitely not a film that everyone would enjoy (a little too much sex), but it was creepy and stylish and i really enjoyed the second half.
hmmm, night angel trilogy: i finished beyond the shadows over the weekend. it was fantastic. the best of the books. all the characters' parts played out well and everything came together excellently. weeks still has an editing problem, but it's not quite as bad as in previous books. i think what i like about this book (and the other 2, but this one shows it off most) is the way kylar bounces around like a ninja from an anime. it's very stylish and fun - pure escapism.
the rest of my review is on my goodreads page
i think that's all i have to say.
Just say no to colds kids!
ReplyDeleteColds aren't fun, sorry 'bout that. My brother's fighting the cold right now though he's still in denial about it.
As to the movie. Are we talking sex in every other indoor scene or sex during every plot twist? Personally I'm at the edge of my seat waiting for Camron's 'Avatar'. The Geek in me is squeeing.
"sex in every other indoor scene," but they do get on with the plot, which makes up for it.
ReplyDeletewith colds, i find that the faster you get out of denial about them, the faster you recover.
avatar does look good. but i have no idea what to expect from it.
