Home again.

[valis2]

Had some interesting adventures, as always, and had a good enough time as can be had, I think. Wasn't the greatest of shows, and the promoter got in my face (which was weird) about something I had no control over, but overall just another experience to file in the vault.

On Sunday I got up at 8 am, did the show, packed up, and drove nine hours to WI...got there at 5 am. Long day. Only slept two hours, because I still had so much to do on Monday. I haven't recovered quite yet.

Had one of the best Italian meals I've ever had, one of the best Thai meals I've ever had, and one of the best Mexican meals I've ever had, so that was nice. But I think I won't be back to Kansas, which makes me sad.

I need to write a new chapter, definitely. I have a few new thoughts which will enhance the story, I think.

I also met a published author and had a lovely conversation about books and the modern publishing industry. It was quite interesting.

I missed you all! Glad to be home, so very glad to be home.

Welcome back!

I thought about you yesterday, while browsing the sale tables at my neighborhood bookstore--they had a book on Giant Squid, and yeah, I bowed to impulse and bought it.

Mmmm. Mexican food. I've been obsessed with it lately. I made a burrito foray last night, which proved disappointing. Living in a student ghetto means access to lots of cheap, mediocre food, and last nights specimen of carne asada was just not up to snuff. I'm going to have to go prowling again. Your account has made me hungry...

w00t! Squid books! How awesome. I was at an exhibit about Pearls while I was in WI and they mentioned that nearly all cephalods can make pearls, including the Giant Squid...cool, eh?
