I took Monday and Tuesday off from work, so it’s a short week for me. Which is just as well, really, since I appear to have lost my monthly train ticket and will need to buy daily and weekly tickets until June. That’s fun, huh?<\/p>\n

On Monday night, I watched All Is Lost<\/i>, which — spoiler warning — is called All Is Lost<\/i>. It’s a surprisingly compelling (and at times beautiful) movie, given that it’s largely dialogue free and we know almost practically nothing about Robert Redford’s character — the movie’s only character — except that he’s on a boat. If you’ve been waiting for a movie starring a constantly soggy Robert Redford, this is the one for you. I liked it a lot, but it’s definitely convinced me not to take up sailing.<\/p>\n

Last night, I picked my parents up at the airport. They’d gone to visit my sister, who’s in Austin for a while for work, and their flight was delayed by three or four hours. Luckily, for me if not them, I knew about the delay before<\/i> I drove to the airport.<\/p>\n

Today I got a rejection e-mail for a short story (a short-short, really) that I’d submitted last week. I couldn’t call it wholly unexpected, but rejections are never fun. (And I say that as someone who sends out plenty.) I’m debating whether to send the story out again right away or wait for another venue that won’t be open to submissions for another few months. Meanwhile, I’m determined to keep working on something else and get that<\/i> rejected too as soon as possible. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

And that’s about it. Not an exciting week, maybe, but a short one at least, and the weather’s been pretty nice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
