A Grab Bag: Catching Up on Writing, Movies, Etc.
I’ve been too busy to blog. So here is some of what’s been going on.
I had a good writing session at Panera this morning. (I'm bummed though that they took my favorite egg soufflé off the menu. Grrr.) The story I’m working on is getting better. Thanks, in part, to a crit from Rick. Thanks, Rick!
I guess improvement is really all I can ask for. I am trying to reinforce and reward trying and progress instead of only perfection. ‘Cause if only perfection counted then we’d all be in big trouble. ;)
In other news...
I have a new favorite restaurant. Hubby and I went out to dinner for our anniversary. We decided to try Sinigual, a new Mexican place in the neighborhood. We had a great experience. I can't wait to go back. The Fire-Roasted Tomato Soup is exceptional.
Also, we've instituted "movie night" on Fridays. Recently we've watched:
"The Men Who Stare at Goats" – surprisingly good. I was leery at first, but was quickly won over.
"Avatar" – very good. Why didn't the buzz and advertising clue me into how much I would like the movie? After watching it, I suddenly didn't mind the blatant "Avatar" pimping on that episode of "Bones." (I still hope "Bones" got paid a fortune for it though.)
Speaking of "Bones," I continue to love, love, LOVE that show!

One precious thing in exchange for a wish, that is how it has always worked for the people of her city, but her pursuit of the rare tree of pearls is making Rulei wonder if she’s never understood at all.
