Oh Rapturous Day!!!

They Are Publishing Beedle the Bard!!!. I can finally buy it!!

Not sure why it took them so long, but soon I shall own a copy. Yay!!!

In family news, I got an address for my Great Aunt Pat, who is a remarkable and funny woman. The "me" of her generation, I think. So I'm going to write her a nice note. Also, it turns out that my Uncle Victor (the hare krishna) is living in Vegas and has (gasp!) Email. He's always been one to swear off material possessions, so him with a computer is pretty shocking.

I've been connecting with people I went to high school with on Facebook.
The shocking thing is that everyone sounds absolutely delighted to hear from me. it seems that I made a lasting impression on quite a few people back then. I had no idea. One guy even put ME in HIS semi-autobiographical debut novel. A character named Tuesday (something close to my old last name). Neat. I'm going to see if he wants to do a joint signing somewhere.

Okay, I'm off to work. I have to release the call center newsletter today. I do enjoy being in charge of the newsletter. It's one of the only aspects of my job I'm really good at.

I guess this is a bad time to mention I'm working a character named "Saturday Smarch Sunday" into my re-telling of the 'Aquaman' legend?

... fooled you. 'Aquaman' was *never* legendary. :)

Ok, so I've caught up on the blog I think.

1-Very cool about your Aunt and Cousins and Maybe Mark:)
2-I'm tired of my job as well.
3-Glad you are back out of the dumps about life and the book and what not. Big things are on the Horizon for you!
4-Deductibles suck ass. Insurance is a scam in our country.
5-I'm on facebook, but I haven't done much with it.
6-Hugs and Love!

Yep, Aunt Barb is calling my mom today, to let her know that we're in touch, and then she'll be calling Mark for me and giving him my contact info. I'm pretty stoked, and even if it doesn't work out, I still have an Aunt and some cousins to talk to.

I am looking for a new job, but the market it so lousy out there that I don't have much hope. Book sales are picking up a bit though, maybe some good will happen there and I can get a signing soon.
