Time on my hands

cmk418Big thanks to my f-listers who prompted me and have given me plenty to write on! I am working on them and will be posting as I can within the next day or so.
Today was my last day at the temp job. I outlasted all of the other temps, but the powers that be decided that they could handle the rest in-house, so I'm out. My supervisor on the project told the temp place some nice things about me and I now can use her as a local reference, so it's all to the good.
I just hate the process of looking for another job and waiting to get a phone call.
On the plus side, this gives me plenty of time to work on the jillion or so writing projects that I've committed to.
And I get to paint this weekend! Whoo hoo!
A completely random and separate note - apparently Chicago Blackhawks radio is way behind real time because I checked the game summary for tonight and the most recent goal was posted quite a bit before I actually heard it from the broadcasters (at first, I thought it might have been a highlight they were replaying, but it was the actual goal - weird.)
I'm a little bummed that I'm missing the movie/pilot episode of "Kings" on Sunday. Let me just say, Jack/David slash is not too far off. I just hope they chose the less subtle biblical translation. Fun stuff.
I saw "Castle" and it was okay. I don't think Nathan Fillion is meant to be still. He doesn't seem very comfortable, and if anybody else has seen it ...
If we as writers are to "write what we know", then why does this show about a writer feel like it's been written by someone who has no clue about the writer's life? The guy is blocked and I never really got a sense of his frustration with that situation or of the pleasure he got when he was writing again. Maybe people who actually get paid for their writing don't have the extremes that the rest of us feel (or that I feel when it's going well - or poorly). That's just my observation and I could be all wrong, but I'm wondering what y'all think.
What the heck is "Pingback"? Do I need this?

Huh.
But in other news, I am all happy about Life.

Date: 2009-03-12 03:00 am (UTC)I'm not thrilled about Gabrielle Union. I'm sure she'll do fine, but I was really happy with Stark as Crews' partner, there's still enough underlying tension between them to make it interesting.
We're going to be painting the kitchen. I don't know what color yet. I'm shooting for a pale rose to go with the slate grey floor.

Is that the actress's name? I don't know, I'm kind of looking forward to it. She's really pretty, so that's nice and as much as I've been enjoying this whole Bobby and Charlie, BFFFOREVER! thing, it's cool to see them move on a bit.
That's a nice colour. Maybe you could put little flowers in a darker colour on it, later?
