lagilman: coffee or die (Default)
[personal profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.....
