Soggy rejection letter Friday

[annathepiper]

It is raining like a crazy raining thing in the Puget Sound area tonight. This is kind of appropriate weather, as I got another rejection on Lament of the Dove today--so this leaves me with one active query still in the air. And that means in turn that I need to get a couple more queries out this weekend. At minimum, I need to hit the next two agents on my list of agents I'm interested in; if I get really ambitious, I'll fling out a couple of paper queries as well. (But I'm not sure I'm going to get that ambitious.)

On a related note, though, I am told by mizkit that the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers Colorado Gold contest is absolutely worth the time and money, so I will be preparing Lament to head in that direction over this weekend as well. I figure at minimum, I'm willing to put down the entry fee if it'll get me an interesting critique. More than that would, of course, be cake.

On the good side, though, I had lunch with casirafics today, and we writer-geeked, and fandom-geeked, and expressed our mutual pleasure over the resumption of Battlestar Galactica tonight and Doctor Who tomorrow. Tasty truffles were purchased from the Dilettante Cafe after. Mine were eaten on the way back to work. Yum. ;)

Meanwhile, I will be making a pilgrimage to Dusty Strings tomorrow to finally get a replacement D string for my bouzouki, and hopefully also, replacement tuning pegs for the guitar. And solarbird and I want to practice some on the Meg Davis song "Elf Glade" we've been playing in Jam, which should be fun.

And there will be BSG, and the Doctor, and spazzkat has The Mist in on the Netflix queue, and that should be fun to watch tomorrow night. There are also rumors of a musical outing on Sunday afternoon; more on this on Sunday.

Tonight, though, I'll be enjoying my reunion with my and Dara's TV girlfriend, Starbuck!

Tell spazzkat to add me on Netflix so I can find better crap to put in my queue than the current crap, please.

*snicker*

Paul says he is dubious that the stuff on his queue will be any better than the stuff on yours. ;)

He needs to go to my last post and ADD ME ADD ME ADDDDDD MEEEEEEE

or rather, gimme address and I'll add him.

[annathepiper]

You could ask him this directly, you know. ;)

[firni.livejournal.com]

If I could remember his email address I'd just invite him that way. heh

Edit: Although I see he's taken care of the problem, HEE HEE

Here's the thing: it airs tomorrow on the BBC. But that's the actual BBC as opposed to BBC America. Assuming that they do this season the same way they've done previous ones of the New Who, it'll actually be a bit before it officially airs in the States.

Which means those of us who want to see it tomorrow will have to yoink it off of Bittorrent.

Yarr. ;)
