Month: March 2012

This may be what they call burying the lede

Today was kind of an odd day. I spent most of the morning waiting around for a new computer, to replace the one that didn’t quite survive its malware attack last Friday (and because I need a laptop with home access for my new position). Then I spent most of the afternoon in a meeting talking about new projects I’m hoping I’ll get the opportunity to work on.

Which isn’t, I know odd odd, but it was a bad Monday, all things considered. Surprisingly chilly, and some thirty degrees colder than last week, but bright and sunny and not too difficult.

Nothing special, but there are worse ways to turn thirty-five.

Such is Sunday

My writing group is taking a break for the next couple of weeks, so today was spent mostly working on Kaleidotrope‘s spring issue, which, if I get everything together, will go live next Sunday, April 1.

I’m pretty sure I can get it ready by then. At this point, it’s mostly the archiving of the winter issue that’s a potential issue, and figuring out how to put comments back on the pages. (I tried a forum with the winter issue, which I hoped would spark more interactivity and solve some layout issues, but almost nobody’s used it, and it’s maybe time to go back to the way things were.)

Beyond prepping the issue and e-mailing contributors, I did the Sunday crossword — that probably goes without saying — and I did my taxes. I also watched this week’s episode of Fringe, wherein love conquers all except bad writing. (Well, not terrible writing, but the show has been better.)

And that was my Sunday. Thrilling stuff, I know.
