Cisco still hasn't really used the dog house much, but it hasn't truly been wet yet, either. I think he'll figure it out.
Bought him a rubber bone on the way home. I'd give it about a week. He loooooooves it.
Oh, and the cats really, really want the stinky treats. Had to hide them in one of the few places in the house that Tam can't get to them.
Spent a nice day entertaining the inlaws. Had a massive breakfast for lunch then the guys watched football (*yawn*) while MIL and I went shoppin'. Got some nice slacks for werk. Always a good thing.
Which reminds me I have to find some winter clothes soon. *sigh*
Some days I really wish I could actually write. Working from home sounds better and better.
Ugh, doesn't it. Now I really really need to get on the whole job hunt thing. I did get a call from a recruiter Friday that I want to return tomorrow.... we'll see...
Spent a lazy afternoon furniture shopping and we got a nice china cabinet for the kitchen. A little fancier than we'd been thinking but it's a good piece and we need something of the sort. It gets delivered Tuesday. Managed church and some laundry and am fighting my laptop to talk to the wireless. It's being very bad for some reason.
Hopefully you have better luck with recruiters than I did!
I'm attempting to write a bit. I really wish my characters would stop changing sides halfway through the story without so much as a by-your-leave.
I just wish my characters would leave the bathroom humor be.
And the main gal just became a good character when she's supposed to be sort of reformed evil. Luckily there are plenty of evil characters to go around, but it means revamping the whole plot, several years into the past. But the original way doesn't work as well.
*sigh*
Ya know, a character like that could be real interesting. Maybe she's still evil by the readers' standards, but relative to the real baddies she's the good guy.
A la "Burke" in the Andrew Vachss series. I like it!!
It's complicated...originally she was supposed to be a selfish, ruthless kinda person who accidentally got the one person she actually cared about killed. But at the beginning of the story, she doesn't remember that part of her life and isn't really evil, though of course she still has the potential to be.
But now...I'm thinking maybe it'd work better if she knew something about the bad guys that woulda brought them down, and they forced the amnesia.
But I may change my mind tomorrow.
I haven't read that...good?
I don't have any characters but I wish my untreated control samples would behave.
Um, I don't usually have the problem with my characters changing sides but they never behave the way I want them to. My probably-Nano plot undertook some really wild revisions this summer.
Well, that depends on your definition of good. Burke is a bad*ss with a streak of good. He has collected an odd bunch of people who are "his family", none of whom would fit in polite, or even, civilized, society for long. Setting is the underbelly of New York, so its pretty gritty. It has none of the humor of the "Darkly Dreaming Dexter" series by Jeff P. Lindsay. Dexter is a lovable serial killer who only kills the bad guys. :-)
Are your appliances misbehaving?
So far, so good but I don't think the toaster likes the low-carb deal.
Who would?
