I never know how successful these things are

[cornerofmadness]

But I think my release party went pretty well. I'm going to give out two copies I think of the novella. I didn't see a giant bump in sales but I did my best. I'm happy. Thanks to everyone who stopped by or sent well wishes. It's appreciated.

Mom is getting slightly better but not much. She's pretty depressed. They're sending her to a neurologist. Turns out someone else she knows had the same damn thing with the shingles and it took a year to get better. Obviously that didn't help the mood any. She also has no idea how I walked/worked/shoveling a ton of snow in that cam walker boot they have in.

going out to look at the heavens

I'm going to a festival tomorrow, either the Asian one in Columbus (preferred) or the Native American one in Chillicothe (also good). My depression over the last two years has been so bad that it will BE two years since I've been in Columbus, a place I used to go to every few months. I realized it last year when I roamed down to Barboursville with Rain that that was the furthest I've been outside of a business trip to Vegas. I need to get out of this rut before I become one of the locals who never leaves the damn county.

Great song

Okay I'm not much of a Miranda Lambert fan and I pretty much don't like Carrie Underwood (well at least she's not Taylor Swift) but I kinda like this (or at least the chorus)

Yeah, it's definitely time for you to get out. I was complaining to Mom that I should've gone to see you, with my four day weekend, but I didn't think she should watch the dogs in her condition, and I can't really afford it. >.<

I hope you do really well with your novella!

As seems to be par for the course with me, I loaded the DSP blog into a tab to hang out on your book launch party and then .... completely forgot until much too late. I'm really glad it went well!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that's okay. You also have that time zone issue

Thanks

I'm glad the release party went well (sorry I couldn't attend), and I send lots of healing vibes to your mom. hope she's better soon (wish I could send Dr McCoy, but alas...)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Thanks all around. She'd like that (or Dr. Bashir)

Glad the release party went well for you.

Thanks for reminding me about the meteor shower. I went out twice but didn't really see anything. It was fun trying though.

I love Lindsey Stirling's music. Her new album is really good. I've been listening to it at work quite often.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thank you.

I saw hints of a lot of action but did see two really nice ones.

Cool. Is that Shatter?

[marlex.livejournal.com]

Yeah. The whole album is good but my favorite tracks are Shatter Me and Roundtable Revival, which sounds like a high octane Bluegrass number.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

The latter didn't stick with me (I'll have to give it another listen) but I love Shatter me

Oh
