I've cramped up my fingers looking at YouTube movie trailers. I'd like to say that my day was more productive/involved doing more than that, but I'd be lying. This is what happens when the kids are on Spring Break. It throws my entire schedule off. Yes, I have a schedule. And yes, it can be completely thrown off. It sucks.
I have to write 10 articles that are due by Friday. Friday in the UK. That means that I need to send them up before Friday. Because if I don't I know I'll end up waiting too late and then they'll be late. Have I started the articles yet? No. But they're all short, so I'm none too concerned on that point. I'm more concerned about turning them in late. *blink, blink*
The dog's conked out in the middle of my bed. I wonder where I'm going to sleep. Just kidding. I know that I can totally move her over an inch or two to the right.
Have you ever read a book that was good but it ends up being very, very different from what you thought it would be? That's happening to me with my current book. I like it ... it's just not what I originally thought.
Okay. I have more shows to catch up on. I must continue. I must.
ETA: Book #28 - Incantation by Alice Hoffman - Yeah. This is the book that I thought was about something else. I thought it was about a family of witches that were hiding their true selves. Well, I was close, I guess. You know, if you substitute "Jews" for "witches". I usually don't read books that center on religion. However, this was a rather fascinating read. Set during the Spanish Inquisition, it's the story of a family who pretends for generations to be Christians to escape persecution. Eventually, they are betrayed by people they had thought were their friends. Some of the family are killed for their beliefs and some flee. This book was very lyrical. There's very little dialogue and instead of using quotation marks Alice Hoffman italicizes what little there is. Honestly, it made the book ebb and flow like waves in a pond. Once again, not the type of book I would normally read, but I'm glad I picked it up.
So, my next book is going to be Season of the Witch. I'm fairly certain it will really be about witches. *nods*
