Today was a pretty good day.<\/p>\n

I’ll admit, I did<\/i> spend a little bit of it on my work laptop, checking e-mails and sending chapters out to reviewers. But before that, I actually enjoyed some of my vacation.<\/p>\n

I watched last night’s episode of The Walking Dead<\/i>. The resolution of last week’s kind of weird cliffhanger ended pretty much exactly as I expected it to, and in the least surprising way, but I thought it was handled fairly well, particularly in the brief scene between Hershel and Rick. I’ve had my issues with the show in the past, and I was not a fan of the comic, but this season so far seems to be doing a lot of things right.<\/p>\n

After that, and breakfast, I went to see Skyfall<\/a>. Last night, I started watching On Her Majesty’s Secret Service<\/i>, but I have to admit I fell asleep maybe about halfway through. (Diana Rigg is gorgeous, and there are some good action scenes, but George Lazenby is no Sean Connery. He’s barely George Lazenby at times. I plan to finish watching it, but I’m almost surprised I stayed awake that long.) No such problems with this new Bond, which, I have to say, is probably one of my favorites. It’s beautiful to look at, for one — I saw it in IMAX, after some Twitter chatter suggested I should, and I don’t regret the added ticket cost — and exceptionally well staged. I enjoyed the heck out of it, and highly recommend it.<\/p>\n

And then I did a little writing. This short story I’ve been working on since Saturday keeps wanting to change the century it’s set in, but I think I’ve finally hit upon the right time frame.<\/p>\n

And then there was the work e-mail. Though I promise, not a lot. I am, after all, on vacation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
