I have to tell ya, The Tea Party are the best mood music when you are writing the most depressing portion of your novel. My ipod always plays the right mood music for what the mood of the scene I may be writing..it's a bizarre phenomenon. This past week has been gut wrenching trying to write. I think I balled my eyes out for two hours while writing a chapter. If one wonders if this is good therapy, I would guess I could attest to that. I am coming up to a scene that I have always believed would be the crux of the novel. I hope it writes as well as I have envisioned it. I am slowly winding it up, I guess I have a goal of finishing in 2005 but we'll see. Holidays seem to get in the way. I am formulating Jim and Andrea's story in my head, guessing that one is next but I better take some time off. Trying to plan my trip to NS in June, if I work hard, I hope to have Bay Window edited by then. My real job is going to get pretty hectic soon between selecting new Village kids, summer broadcast institute and orientations are coming soon. I hope I have energy to write after all that starts flooding in. I guess I realize spring semester is more work! I need to really take advantage of these next few weeks of quiet. You know, not spend it blogging, SMBing or reading my work from the night before ;)
OK I just got an email from Bob Geldof..it's funny how the One campaign makes their emails appear to come from Bob! I haven't heard "Do they know?" yet this year. Maybe that is why I am bah humbug.
I did my radio show Wednesday. I had a blast; I goofed around and sent a bunch of songs out to my Blaze kids, my pals, etc... I babbled on like I always did on the air ;) No I don't suddenly think I miss it, I just had a lot of fun doing it. It was comfortable. I just hope it wasn't my only natural talent. Albert stopped by when I was done, such a nice surprise. I miss my grads! Andrew called me and said it was the best wo hours he has heard on radio for years. I said "Yeah, that's because most of the records were yours!" He was surprised I have opened my ears to DFA 1979 and BSS. I can hear stuff beyond Haywire if you try me!
Almost time for the Cronkite School holiday party. Doing a white elephant gift thing. Just hoping they have something I like to eat as they are having Mexican. I guess it wouldn't be cool if I show up at the party with a cheese sandwich eh?
Thinking about going to Mich for New Years, not sure..want to go see those guys on NYE but they are playing in Barrie, a rather long drive from Mich. Just kinda wanting something fun to do. Dan is going to Dunes again, I am certainly not! Just kinda thinking about it because my Miller cousins want to see me (nice to be wanted) of course Nova wants me to come too. We'll see...
Got Dan a new wedding ring last night. That makes me very happy. It is titanium, just simple but won't get so muffed up like his did at work. I looked at a few places for a bigger Posie ring. It was good as I did some Bay Window research looking at caret sizes for my lucky female characters ;) Maybe someday I'll get a few more caret sized Posie ring too... Not like I haven’t hinted to Dan for a few years now...I even have a picture of one up in my desk at home.
Yeah to Canadian Christmas songs! BOB is playing "Christmas time" right now, yesterday I heard The Kings "This Christmas"!!!! On the lunch requests, Milky played Haywire then said it was for some girl heading home to Halifax, they were the only Halifax band she could think of. UMMMM...no...They are from PEI...HELLO..Milky went on to say he could have played Sarah Mac or Sloan....oh them...at least he would have played a band from Halifax then..although...Haywire is the only one of the three who still live near Halifax I suppose....hehehe Fussy Canadian music fan!
Hoping my Sirius receiver arrives today, they called and said it was supposed to come in today. Hoping to listen to the Jay and Chris show this week...So mad at stupid Sears.. Like I want to go to the mall again today...why advertise something for $30 then not have any. They can't make those Sirius receivers fast enough because of dumb ole Howard Stern...I just want it for the Chris and Jay show!
