Mmm, bad at posting

I've been busy. I know, that's not the best excuse for not posting for more than two months, but it's all I've got.

School is okay, my classes this term are sort of the suck, but I'll get through them. I have to make flashcards sometime before tomorrow. I really don't want to. Homework is stupid. I'll be working at the school till Sept. 9, then I have to get work someplace else. Well, hopefully I find a job that starts right after that, but you know what I mean.

One of my stories won second place in the PARSEC short story contest, which made me very happy. I got $100 for it. No publication, though, since the timing between PARSEC and Triangulation, their associated magazine was off this year. That was a bit of a disappointment. And I'm going to their convention next Sunday and I'll be in a panel and reading my story and doing autographs. Yes. Autographs. It's...weird. I can't imagine that anyone will want one. But we'll see. Getting signed up to go was pretty haphazard and unprofessional, but it's done now. Hopefully I'll have a good time, and if not I'll at least learn something.

Read Harry Potter 7. Was very satisfying. Also have enjoyed The Transformers, Die Hard 4, Harry Potter 5, and Pirates of the Caribbean 3 this summer on the big screen. I was a bit disappointed with Shrek 3 and even more so with Spiderman 3. The Transformers is my favorite movie of the summer so far.

Paul quit his job, was unemployed for a while, and is starting a new job on Monday. He's also had a few articles published by Pyramid magazine and has a book proposal in at e23. I'm proud of him.

We joined a writing group a while ago. They all seem like nice people. The shy part of my nature kicks in pretty hard when we go, though, so I'm not sure what they think of me. I haven't had as much time to write as I'd like, but at least I'm still trying.

Well, that's all the news I can think of.
