More random babble
Oct. 14th, 2008 08:05 amI wandered around the harbor yesterday before having lunch with S&J. [J is a boy now, as opposed to being a baby; in my head he's a toddler still, but in reality he has just started first grade. How'd that happen?]
There were lots of people out and about, enjoying the day off and indian summer.
Human Rights Campaign volunteers were out gathering signatures and donations, hovering near the tourist deck at the World Trade Center.
At B&N, there were autographed copies of the reprints of Dead Until Dark. Copies of Wolfsbane & Mistletoe were signed by several of the authors. Did B&N have a group signing, I wonder? The Jewel of Medina was prominently displayed among the new fiction releases, which makes me curious about its sales and the marketing push it has received from its new publisher. Or did the entire brouhaha that occured pre-publication garner enough attention to get it placed there?
Tomorrow is TBR Day -- I'm finishing up Deirdre Martin's Chasing Stanley for it.
Also, I cannot find my copy of Gym Class Heroes' new album, The Quilt. [And have I mentioned my insane jealousy that The Biochemist got to see GCH (again) on Friday? The closest they are coming to Baltimore or DC on their tour is Philly, and that show is on Sunday night. They opened with Cupid's Chokehold. And covered When Doves Cry. And I have a huge crush on Travis McCoy, whose body art fascinates.] The disc was in my hand on Saturday as I straightened up -- Mom was coming over for birthday dinner. I meant to take it upstairs and put it on the CD rack. It's not in the basket o' stuff to deal with (mail, bills, reminders), nor is it on the coffee table, the CD rack, or mixed in accidentally with DVDs. It is somewhere in my house, which isn't large. If I order a new copy, the lost one will appear the instant the new one is shipped (thus making it too late to cancel the order). If I don't do anything at all, I won't find the disc until sometime next spring. Gah! It can't have gone far, dammit!
