Besides my usual companions (one four-legged, one ghoul), I’ve got “12
Angry Men” piled into my little kitchen.
Fussing and fuming, Jack Warden and Jack Klugman are two of the many
disagreeing on every point made by the intrepid Henry Fonda. The only point they seem to agree upon is that
my miniscule kitchen in Florida is a gazillion times better than their jury
room in 1957 New York City.
Frank tends to disagree with them as the 12 angry men are also 12
hungry men who are eating Frank’s crumpets. (For the long history of my specter
of imminent failure’s crumpet kink please see previous blogs.)
Of actual note this morning, last night I received the proof galley for
“Ravenscar” from Dreamspinner Press! I have until April 14th to get
it back to them. It is so exciting!...
In fact, it is so exciting that I haven’t yet had the guts to look at
it.
*sheepishly grins as I pop some
more Prozac*
Excitement = Panic in my world.
All the same wires in my brain get smoking when either something really
good or something even a little bad happens. (We won’t discuss the times the
circuits start crackling and popping with no outside stimuli whatsoever.
Frankly that’s just a little creepy. *shivers*)
Anyhow, by tonight I should have enough nerve scraped together to have
looked at the galley. I will report all findings to you as per out full
disclosure agreement… I bet you’re regretting that decision right about now,
ain’t ya? *lol*
Alright, time to get to work… or, in my case, off to begin the maniacal
worry I have scheduled for today.
My dad will be hurling through the skies this afternoon at breakneck
speeds.
My mom is off to the doctor’s for her annual physical.
And I’m shoving the sofa against the front door, trying my damnedest to
keep the freaking “What if?” panic from huffing and puffing and blowing itself
in.
*eyes the kitchen and the
masculine poundage within*
Hmm… I wonder how much Jack Klugman weighs?
*claps hands together in glee as
an idea is born*
“Alright, gentlemen. Dog pile on the couch at the front door!”
Until tonight…
Chloe
