Sunday morning watching football randomocity

So, I'm sitting here watching my Atlanta Falcons play the Detroit Lions. Yes, the time stamp is correct--they're playing in England, so airtime for the game here in the States is 9 a.m.


At the moment the Falcons have the lead. I have an idea for a pretty funny posting for this blog when they lose again, so of course they'll win. Whatever they have to do to break my heart, they'll do.


Like most people I'm getting tired of the political ads. I am drawing some hope from the tone of the Republican attack ads--they're repeating the same tired old, and long since debunked lies that their base will believe no matter what. They sound desperate. Let's hope they have good reason to be desperate. It'd tickle me to no end to see Georgia turn blue after the midterms.


Speaking of elections, I took part in early voting. I wish there was a way I could opt out of having to endure all these stupid commercials for candidates now, since they're irrelevant to me. Oh, well.


I've been on vacation all week. For once I didn't have a particular goal I wanted to accomplish. I had some errands, but no definite projects I wanted to work on. It's been pretty glorious, to be honest.


Though I did make a start on the script for this pilot for this TV show idea I've had for a while. It's coming along pretty well so far. I can definitely work with what I've got on the page now, tweaking it to get the tone I'm looking for.


I'm waiting for my first readers to give me their notes on The Sorcerer's Daughter. I've heard from both of them that they are enjoying it so far, so that's heartening. I'm trying to resist doing another read-through until I hear from them. It'd be kind of pointless for me to do a rewrite before then. They're both extremely busy people so I'm just glad they're taking the time to do this for me.


And it's back to work for me tomorrow morning, after being off all week. That usually means my Monday morning will be crazy busy.  I guess that's a good thing, though.


Wow. The Lions still haven't scored on the Falcon's porous defense. Maybe they've got jet lag or something. I'm entirely sure it won't last.
