6th floor in the parking structure


That's right, I'm blogging from the car boys and girls. Top floor of the Disneyland parking structure. We've been sitting here 18 minutes already and haven't moved an inch closer to home. Ugh! At least I have my Jamba Juice, some Good Charlotte to listen to, and my trusty cell phone.

 

So I finished my anthology submission last night. Underneath This Big Ol' Sky - Part 2 for all of you who read part 1 and are waiting to find out what happens next with the folks on Kingsman Bluff. Now's your chance to reread Part 1 if you missed it or want to get reacquainted with the story before Part 2 is released.

 

Okay the many cars in front of us have turned their engines off :S that's not a good sign... 25 minutes and the f**ker next to us who decided to create a second lane of traffic in this one way aisle is pissing me off! Good for him Rich is driving...

 

So they're back to firing half the store staff for stealing. WTF is wrong with people? Soon I'll be the only employee... maybe THEN I'll get a raise...

 

Rich came home from work the other day and said he had to make a naked man ice sculpture that had liquid continuously flowing out of his you-know-where. I wondered if it was for a bachelorette party or something, but it turns out it was for an episode of the show Entourage that's on HBO. Sounds pretty awesome to me! Besides, not every day you get to make ice penises at work. I wonder if the shrinkage factor was considered in the making of said ice man.

 

Traffic update... we've moved approximately 100 feet in 36 minutes. At this rate, we could walk home faster, it's not like we're that far. We've heard AFI, My Chemical Romance, Fallout Boy, and just for the one day I have to pick my Sweetie up at the airport, JT.

 

I think I have to pee... :unsure: Hmmm...

 

So I edited Steve's anthology and I was impressed and fascinated. He is always a magical read anyway, amazing talent at connecting you to not only his characters, but his setting and it's funny, but there is always one scene in everything of his I read that seems to rise above the rest and touch my heart even more if that's possible and he didn't let me down this time either. Look for it!

 

I edited Kevin's as well, and I have to say, as anthologies go, this is probably the best I've seen from him yet. Quite a touching story so keep your eyes open for it too.

 

I'm rather excited, truth be told, that Graeme is doing he reviews of the anthologies. I told him that I can't wait to see what he thinks because I respect his opinion as a writer and that he impresses me with his ability to always manage to bring up an amazing point tha hadn't occured to me.

 

Still on the top floor of the parking structure, 51 minutes now, and we've made half a lap around the top toward the exit. Matt Kearney is singing to us and Rich has started saying not nice words about the drivers who apparently think they don't have to wait like the rest of us.

 

So, speaking of Rich, we both had the day off today from work :o amazingly, so we slept in and stayed in bed almost all morning, even if we weren't sleeping the whole time ;) and I got wounded during the non-sleep portion by the new kitten, but it was worth it. We showered together, and spent all day doing a whole buncha nothing but it was nice. :wub:

 

Did I forgot to mention that when we left to come here to sit for an hour now on the 6th floor of the parking structure, that my new car had a flat tire so Rich had to change the tire but I got to read the manual to him about the funky lugnut/antitheft system. Rocco DeLuca and the Burden...

 

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July, whether it was a holiday for you or not :D Hugs!

Seriously....only a 100 ft in 36 mins :blink: Hmm..atleast you aren't in a situation with the whole town flooded with no power, thunderstorm batting every other hour (with the temperature at f***ing 46 C or 115 F) :wacko:

 

Anyway, YAY for the anthology :2thumbs: Congrats, hun!! Hope I can read it before I go to college.

Anxiously waiting for Part 2 !!

 

OMG!! Rich...making a naked man's ice sculpture..well, atleast the designing must have been fun :P and that too for an HBO production :worship:

Hey Viv!! :D

 

Rich came home from work the other day and said he had to make a naked man ice sculpture that had liquid continuously flowing out of his you-know-where.

OMG! That's so cool!!

 

I think I have to pee...Hmmm...

uh oh :hug:

 

I don't guess I get to say "I told you so" since it is like a delayed reaction in a blog, but I was thinking that Jamba Juice wasn't such a good idea! :P

Aww! Yay for the good day! :D:great:

 

 

 

...So did you ever get home or are you still trapped up there with your legs crossed and no more fresh music to listen to? :blink:

 

 

:hug:

Hope you're having an awesome day,

Kevin
