Not too much new today. Got the basic payments for the honeymoon to Switzerland done, so that was good. I’ve been meaning to do it for a while, now, but only finally got around to it today. Me and Andy really need to get our own credit card. Debit cards won’t carry large trip expenses. Ah well.
Also determined that the cable company has indeed cut off our channels above 30, which is an unpleasant surprise. They’ve been half threatening to do it for months, asking if we want to upgrade to channels we already had, so I suppose it was only a matter of time. Still, I was really hoping to sit around and junk out on reality TV marathons this vacation, or at least catch a few Food Network Challenges from time to time.
Otherwise, I did a little reading for school and started editing a story for my mother. I also added five “chapters” to the Zero Draft of my running “novel” (read: manu-scrap). I’d been feeling bad the last couple of days because I’ve been so lazy with writing, so I made up for it today. It’s taking some new and interesting turns that I hadn’t really anticipated, so I’m having a lot of fun with it, even if each chapter is only a summary.
That’s about all, though. It was a nice, quiet day on vacation. Maybe I’ll watch a few episodes of Sex and the City tonight before bed, though I’d rather be watching Desperate Housewives any day. That show not only makes me laugh, but it’s a superb study in character-driven / character-motivated plot. I love it! And it makes me want to write. But without access to season two, I’ll stick it out with S&tC. Gives me something to do, anyway. ^_^
