quick updates

A whirlwind in motion, is this week. As always when James is in town, full days of gadding about (and watching James deal with American culture) followed by late evenings of really bad movies [tm]. So far, the count is Formula 51 with Samuel L. In a kilt. Hollywood Homicide with Mr. Ford. And The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Oh, and Return of the King. Which didn't suck a'tal.

And I handed in the revised manuscript to Madame Editrix. I shall now commence to not thinking about it. Really.

Tomorrow we go to the Museum of Natural History, for some slightly more highbrow culcha. And then into the Great Kitchen Chaos that is preparing for New Year's Eve.

Havin' a bit of fun, we are. ;-) I figure I'll sleep when the holiday's over...

Busy Day

Off to the City this morning (well, afternoon) to see some sights, eat some food, drink a lot of wine, and come home to find that my brother-in-law, all hail him, had indeed been able to install a new hard drive onto my desktop. So no more ugly whrrrrr whrrrrr whrrrrr sound of oncoming crash! Yay!

Now, of course, I have to reinstall all my software. Boooo......
