Cohesive Fail

I can't seem to post a single-topic post this week. *shrugs*

I'm doing some Facebook catching up right now, and this appears a lot:

" No one should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one should go broke because they get sick. If you agree, please post this as your status for the rest of the day."

At first, who posted it made sense. The first three or four were authors, and we're a small world. But then I saw Christopher Lennertz, a composer (video games, movies, and SUPERNATURAL), who is very much not in the same world. Kinda cool.

I don't care how many people tell us technology is distancing us from each other, I keep seeing more and more ways it's doing the opposite.

So today Number One was telling me about this story she's reading in English. She gives a little rundown of the story, and says as she read, first thing she thought was "The Benders!" I said, "Ray Bradbury, The Most Dangerous Game" and she was floored that I knew what she was talking about. *snort* Kids.

(But srsly, as good as Bradbury is, and as teachable as that story is, why does generation after generation get taught the same musty old literature? How about some contemporary stuff that comments on the human condition NOW? Mix it up a little, people.)

Productive day today. Cleaned my office (whoa, there's carpet in here!) and did my filing, which necessitated spreading the foot-tall pile over the pool table. To-do list is decimated. Not really smaller, but it was a good day.

Now I'm off to watch some Supernatural season 4 DVD bonus features and write an analysis for Supernatural Sisters! Check it out. After midnight. Central time.

Night!

Quick Shots

I got more sleep than I have been, but I still feel super tired. Maybe I need vitamins.

I'm dying for the new Supernatural tonight, even as I dread it. I've been perplexed and dismayed by the lack of clips out there. Then I found one on BuddyTV and couldn't watch it because it reveals too much.

I was going to watch "Lazarus Rising" while I ate lunch, because I need some happy Sam and Dean, but I got a phone call that shot that all to hell.

I rejoined Facebook after my hacking because two people I want to interview told me to contact them via Facebook. One hasn't approved my friend request, and the other hasn't responded to my message (though there's still time).

In the meantime, I have found the new format to be much pleasanter than the old, and have spent way too much time both updating my own status and commenting on other people's status. Not to mention fielding snide comments about how I said I was done with Facebook.

So Under the Moon is officially done and submitted to my agent, and I'm in limbo while I await my turn for review, so what do I work on next? I deliberately took today off of writing, but I'm kind of torn about which project I should do next. One Agent Awesome hasn't seen before? Or one she's seen twice but I think could be better? *ponders*

Spring seems to be hitting just as...hey, it becomes spring! How about that? Nice temps this week, predicted to continue. Which means we'd better order some mulch and get to the yardwork before our yard becomes overgrown again. *sigh*
