One Week Post-Employment
Oct. 22nd, 2004 05:01 pmI finished Splinter of the Mind's Eye this morning. Hnh. Well written, but some of the events made me go "Wha ...?" You can definitely tell it was written before the second and third movies came out.
( Details ... )
Heh. Anyway. I finished up the work on my website this afternoon, and then cracked open The Empire Strikes Back. It stuck closer to the film version than the novelization of A New Hope did, though there were still a few noticeable differences; Luke's training scenes on Dagobah were a little differently laid out, and the famous "I love you" / "I know" exchange was a bit longer. It went instead: "I love you. I couldn't tell you before, but it's true." / "Just remember that, because I'll be back." I think they were right to abbreviate that one on-screen; it certainly upped the dramatic quotient.
On to Shadows of the Empire next. And ... *wince* ... I really need to do my bills. I've been keeping up with payments, but I knew I had a few hundred dollars' cushion so I hadn't input my checkbook to Quickbooks in about three months. Now, though, I really need an accurate figure on what's in my account if I'm to budget properly over the next several weeks.
Oh, and I'd better call Mom to tell her I forgot to watch Survivor and CSI last night. If I'm lucky, it was one of my brother's worknights and she taped it for him to watch. *smacking forehead* Now that I'm not required to get up at a particular hour of the morning, my internal clock is rapidly resetting itself to its natural rhythm, which involves getting up around 11 AM and going to sleep at 4 AM. It's throwing my sense of timing all out of alignment.
