And today the happy continues
May. 8th, 2013 10:58 pmWhen one of the editors (who worked on my novella) wrote an actual email instead of a form one to say how happy she was to see something new from me in regards to last night's submission. I'm both shocked and pleased. It's one thing to have my friends tell me they're excited about the thing (It's not that I don't believe you. I know most of you will tell me when something isn't working) but it's a whole other when someone who sees dozens of new things a week seems excited.
Two finals down, one to go.
Southwest Airlines you get kudos for a). having a call center that didn't keep me on hold forever b) was not in India c) had a friendly and helpful person on the other end. I may book with you in spite of the open seating which I hate. Mom is still working on the details. I DO know I won't be staying at the con hotel. The MIrage backed out of giving us a big block of less expensive rooms. Let's just say that over Memorial Day weekend, I can stay at Harrah's all week for one night at the Mirage (really? 450$ no, just no).
HUGE shake up at work. Nothing I can talk about (nor directly impacts me negatively) but wow.
I need to email![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wildrider to see if she's ready to look at a couple chapters of the SF dystopia (and anyone else who might be interested).
I've been trying to watch Orphan Black. I have to admit, I think the actress does an amazing job with the role. Clones, murder, strong females, what's not to like...oddly almost everything. I'm not enjoying it. Here's the strange thing, she is pretty much what her character would be as a hard knock foster kid who got pregnant as a teen and has an abusive drug-dealing boyfriend. She's mistrustful. She'll screw over anyone but her flamboyantly gay foster brother and her daughter. This really feels true to the character. On the other hand I can't stand her. The only two characters I like is Science Clone girl and the gay boy (notice I can't remember anyone's name... not a good sign).
