there is too much, let me recap

[lagilman]

Woke up Saturday morning at 2am. I deserve a medal of some sort for that. Got down to the studio without incident (the shift-switch, with the club kids coming home and the early morning crew going to work, made for interesting company). Was handed a MASSIVE container of coffee.
Yes, I've already downed half of it.
Did the show, discussed genre distinctions, publishing as a career, and why I write short fiction and novels, read two stories ("Fire Rising in the Moon" and "Harvey and Fifth.") and took some phone calls. I'm told the On-Demand stream is here: http://archive.wbai.org/pls.php?mp3fil=18948.

Got out, blinking at the sudden (to me) sunshine, went uptown and had breakfast and chat at Carnegie Deli with nycdeb. I then ran a few errands, caught the bus out to NJ to do some more errand-shopping at the mall (ugh, malls, were you always this horrid and loud?) and then went to LJ-less P and quarkwiz's place for ribs that couldn't be beat. "What's everyone else having?"
Severe thunderstorms waving through the area changed plans, and I ended up staying the night. Wine was consumed, the forthcoming Research Trip discussed, and tentative plots laid for a Reseach Trip next year as well.

This morning, after ten(!) hours of much-needed sleep, more plotting and planning over breakfast (and quarkwiz? I think I've finally got that pronunciation locked down, thanks!). Took the bus back home (helping out a pair of "where do we go now?" tourists from western NJ), and picked up my mail, which included more Research-related materials (yay!) and a regretful reject from Polyphony 7. (boo.) However, the reject was tempered by some possible good-news-happening, so we'll have to wait and see on that.

Now I have to figure out what to do with this story that is racking up an impressive list of "I like it but can't use it" rejects from some notable editors.....

the picture is just as cute as it was on the camera. And not to put too fine a point on it, the picture of those ribs - GORGEOUS!

P. is well on his way to being dubbed HRH's Official Smoker of Ribs.

Hee! Love the coffee and good on you for getting up at o'dark thirty and braving the world.

And Hee! again for I posted food porn today and it was also ribs. *g*

Not smoked, alas, but done low and slow in the oven.

And here I'm having trouble getting up at 7am. (I'm practicing for when I have to get that day job. LOL)

Fun interview (still listening atm). Feel free to overnight the leftover ribs. *pretty pretty please*

"Leftovers"? What are these things you speak of? (there were some, actually, but they were the property of the smoker-master, and rightfully so...)

I listened to a little bit of the interview myself, as much as my innate discomfort allowed, and decided I laugh far too much. And it's pretty obvious that "H&F" still tears me apart -- I nearly cracked about 2/3 of the way through, and pretty much did at the end. If it were a longer story I'd nenver be able to get through it (that's why I asked for the station break at the end).
