cmk418 | A few thoughts on the first day of September (Reply)

Linking to Facebook and Twitter? No thank you. As soon as there's an option to hide that nonsense, I'm taking it (and if it's out there and I haven't stumbled on it yet, please let me know)

Work should be picking up again soon. No one wants to think about their furnace when it's 90 degrees outside. I don't mind too much.

I was planning on a bit of a writing hiatus (after I finish with the latest round of prompts) so I can read a bit more going into NaNo season. But now that

hardtime100 is running with the prompts again, I might be inspired to contribute there.

Baseball season is pretty much over around these parts. I know I should remain optimistic until the series with the Reds is over with, but they are pretty disappointing of late. And on that note, Albert Pujols at the Glen Beck rally. WTF? I already had issues with him doing the Wheaties commercials - this is just too much.

I'm reading an interesting book now - "The City of Your Final Destination". It's been pretty good so far. I'm pretty well hooked by most books/movies where the main character is a writer and there are some similar aspects to the upcoming NaNo project, so it's good to see another POV. Next up is a suspense novel - I hope I'm able to finish them both by the time they are due at the library.

In hockey news, the Blackhawks are still the Stanley Cup Champions. I've got a bunch of tix for Blues games and I'll probably try to get one for my beloved Hawks when I'm up in Chicago in November. Bobby Ryan still hasn't been signed. What are they waiting for? I did ask the Blues president if there was a chance in hell of us signing him and unfortunately it doesn't look good. Apparently Frolov left a void in LA (of players that I can not stand on teams that I like), so the goofy Kings signed Willie Mitchell (that little voice yelling "hit him" every time he steps on the ice, that's me.) I'm not particularly pleased with the disbanding of the Hawks, but I know some of it had to be done. I'm really not pleased with the NHL looking at the Alby-Hoss' contract again this year. I guess it gives them something to do. Other than running R & D camps with no major results. Or finding reasons to deny the latest Kovalchuk contract. *sigh*

That's all folks!
