Superb Owl Weekend Update
Feb. 7th, 2016 10:17 amYeah, I have to admit I have no stakes in today's particular game, as the previous week's playoff games ended with both teams I was rooting for losing. If anything, I'm kind of rooting for the Panthers, purely due to their underdog status here. Won't mind if Peyton wins, though, because that would mean he'd end his career on a high note before starting a new one doing more of those goofy Nationwide commercials.
Picked up A from the airport yesterday evening, and I was quite surprised that the traffic was rather light both ways. I ended up waiting longer at in the arrival lobby (thanks, A says, to the long process of going through customs and getting her luggage), but thankfully I'd brought a book with me to read. And yes, the apartment remained in one piece for two weeks. I actually did quite a bit of cleaning and whatnot. A major dropoff at Goodwill and at the library (who sells their donations either at their branches or at one of their HUGE book fairs), a big cleanup of Spare Oom and its closet, and the usual vacuuming and dusting.
Finished the line edit of The Persistence of Memories the other day, but I still ended up with about 166k words, so I'm going through it one more time; this is the Evil Red Pen Line Edit run this time, in which I'm focusing completely on cutting out the chaff. I'm already three chapters in and cut maybe a few hundred words already -- mostly clunky word choices and repetition. I'm still on track to have this one released by end of the month, so as soon as it's ready to go, I'll let you all know!
OK, time to shower and start the day!
