jon_chaissonDid I pre-order the six-cd-plus-bluray 50th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition of The Beatles when it went on sale on Monday? Darn tootin' I did! Do I already own the 30th Anniversary Edition cd that came out in 1998? Of course I do. Do I already own it as part of the 2009 stereo AND mono box sets? Of course I do! Did I used to own it on vinyl back in the day? Of Course I did!
I'm actually glad I gave into temptation and pre-ordered the box set without a second thought, because an hour after it went on sale, the price zoomed up at least fifty dollars! And if I'm not mistaken, Amazon will honor the amount I ordered it at, so go me!
Meanwhile, back in the real world, things are going well. I'm keeping a positive attitude here, even and especially despite certain Day Job issues attempting to bring me down. I've decided that life is far too short to continue this habit of letting things ruin my day. I'll lapse now and again, as per old habits, but I'm catching it in time and turning it around. It'll help me face the bigger, nastier things without feeling as much strain.
Tomorrow is going to be a busy one for me...I have to wake up stupid-early so I can drive to Concord for a Day Job visit, head back, and then go to the Masonic here in town to see The The. Pretty sure I'll be dead to the world come Friday, but I'm okay with that...!
OH! YES! THAT'S RIGHT: I finished the first draft of the Apartment Complex story last night!!! WOOO! It tops out at around 79k, which is around where I expected. After the rough start, it was a pure joy to write, which makes me quite happy. I've got some great plans for this one. Including a title! Heh. But for now I'm going to let it sit and percolate for a little while. I'll be focusing on the In My Blue World revision in the interim, so I can come back to the AC with fresh eyes.
Hope everyone has a great rest of the week!
