Sunday ramblings
Sep. 19th, 2004 12:24 pmLovely day today - sunny, in the sixties, and it's a Sunday, so
I can wander around in it. Yay! Which I'll do shortly. Just
finished deleting five more job search agents - I think that's all of them now. Can't figure out how to delete the Yahoo! one that keeps coming to me under wolfsblood67 - which, ahem, is not me. But that's a minor bug. What a relief to no longer be searching for a frigging job. The most exhausting thing in the world is hunting for work. So happy to finally have a job. And I think it's a good one. Can't quite tell yet - only been there a week. Ask me in six months - and I'll let you know if I have to go through this nightmare all over again. But so far?
Pretty good. Course I have mighty low expectations at this point in the game. I stopped trying to keep up with the Jones two years back.

Finished Blood Rites the Sixth novel in Butcher's Dresden Chronicles, this morning. Best of the series in my opinion. The worst part? Was that it ended. It was one of those books that I never wanted to end. I enjoyed the characters that much. Rare. Last book felt that way about was maybe Dorothy Dunnett's Checkmate. Now, I have to go find another one...hmmm, I suppose I could try Stoker's Dracula or Gaiman's Neverwhere? I have both in my bookcase waiting for my perusal.
Also read a nifty discussion on writing sex scenes in one of the private listserves I'm still subscribed to. This one's Sunnydale U - it's an academic listserve that focuses on Dunnett/BTVS/and ATS. Like many listerves now, it's no longer talking so much about BTVS/ATS as other things - which is fine with me, since my obsession with BTVS/ATS sort of left me sometime in July. Very odd thing when an obsession suddenly lets go of you...you sort of wonder afterwards what happened? Why was I so obsessed about that particular thing? At any rate, writing sex scenes is not something I like to do as a writer.
( writing sex scenes, porn vs. erotica ramble )
