Time, Time, Time...

I forgot to buy a dayrunner on my once a season trip to Wal Mart, and was feeling truly lost. I was coming up with all sorts of stand ins for it, even seriously considered marking up my Terry Pratchett calendar, until my mother, who should be canonized, went to the doctor and found that he'd put out a basket of them With His Compliments. Woot! Now I have a clear blue day runner...since those plastically jelly (is that what they are called?) purses may still even be in style, I feel so chic. I no longer have to rely on my rapidly deteriorating brain to remember Things that Need Doing. It does occur to me that I should take up drinking, at least I'd have an excuse for my actions...er, memory loss, but really, I think the problem with me is my grip of time seems to have disappeared. It slips away so very fast...and I always was absentminded.

Last night I finished Terry Pratchett's The Truth, which is about printing and newspapers coming to Discworld, basically. His humor is so gentle, he's hilarious, and yes, satiric, but it's not mean. And any book with Vimes in it is a favorite...and Death. I'm oddly partial to Death. I so need to find a copy of Hogfather...basically, it sounds like Death becomes Santa Clause. I'm not sure what's getting read next...next week I officially begin book reviewing again, but I was wondering if I should get a start now. Probably. The pile's already growing. I received 6 books today.

I edited today...and got to read the press release advertising my new position as managing editor at Fiction Addiction. :) So today's pretty good.

I never could get used to day-timers. Or dayrunners, if you prefer. They always run away from me. A pile of index cards works just fine for me. Strange? I dunno. Maybe, maybe not. Just different.

Good stuff on the press release regarding your new position! Yay!
