Kenneth Lay is dead. Today the Munchkins sang their glee from the rooftops.

Probably one of the crazier Fourth of July's of my life. Last year my mom and I walked to this place where we could see the fireworks shot off in Livermore, then I walked home on my own, laughed at the people throwing fireworks, laughed at the billions of cops, and then ran through the sprinklers in the park on my own. That was crazy. This year, however, Liz and I went to hang out with a guy friend of hers. Then we drove up to Dublin to meet some other people and threw fireworks around an empty parking lot--it's legal in Dublin, illegal in P-town, go figure. I've never done it before, and it was pretty freaking awesome. One guy almost got his hand blown off, though it didn't really do anything, and Liz's friend almost got hit in the head. So much fun.

After that we went back to the guy's house and his parents came home with even more fireworks, which they, the parents, set off in the backyard. They had one that actually shot stuff in the air, that one was awesome--it shot like eight blasts. Freaking awesome.

Then we kind of hung out, played cards and eventually Liz took me home. Fun night all around.

France won today, too! The game kicked ass. It wasn't as up close and personal as Italy vs. Germany, but both teams were really good, and France's defense was hella good. France scored the one goal of the game on a penalty kick in the first half and kept that score for the remainder of the game. A few close calls for Portugal. Sweet game, and now France is going to the finals! Woot!

Still haven't had a chance to look for a desk, so that's what today's project is. Tomorrow I go in for training, waugh! I'm kinda nervous, even though I know I won't be doing much other than signing stuff. Hafta get up early, too--bleah.

Need to cook dinner tonight, too. Better find a recipe soon.

Did a little writing last night. Tweaked the E and Kail scene some and then wrote a tidbit from the badguys' point of view to kind of explain what happened, as I imagine the reader will be a tad confused by exactly what they did to Kail. After this it's a Tag scene in which he meets another slayer, and realizes something about himself, and then it's on to Morgan and...familiar time! Things'll get faster from there; I cut out one of the scenes I was gonna include before, since I hadn't counted on the intervention of the badguys. Plus I decided some revelations need to be saved for the second book.

Now! On to desk hunting!

Go France!

Desk Woes

I really can't stand this desk anymore. It's too small, or something. I just can't sit at it properly. I end up leaning back in my chair or sitting cross-legged. I think I've outgrown it. I mean, I did get it when I was seven or so. I want a new desk, but it really is a nice desk as far as desks go. And my grandma gave it to me. My mom doesn't want to get rid of it. But seriously, just sitting here gives me a neck crick these days. Part of the reason I'm always sitting downstairs, which means I get about an hour of writing done each day. Probably part of the reason I don't get as much writing done, cause I just can't stand to sit up here for too long. *sigh*

Maybe I'll go to Office Max and look at desks...

I want to hit up Borders again before tomorrow to see if Flight volume one is there. I've also been looking for the second Yami no Matsuei for weeks now. They have five, six, seven, ten and eleven. Yeah. Teh fooks.

Dessssssk.
