Sunday glide path...

I'm going to have to figure out a way to take weekend days during the week and as they come, because this past weekend seemed to be Yet Another Weekend Spent Doing Work™.

I finished the long piece and sent it off, and am all but finished doing a 19-slide PowerPoint file, which is due tomorrow morning.

I am actually looking forward to settling down in a few minutes and watching Tom Selleck in the latest Jesse Stone installment on CBS. In my opinion, Selleck does a fine job of bringing Robert B. Parker's character to life.

Speaking of character, I've completely gone nuts and managed to write a first draft of the next competition essay. The arc seems okay, but right now, it's just a first draft - or that's what I tell myself - so there isn't much substance hiding in the corners.

Time to shut down for the night.

Cheers...

Aaahh...I see that I will have quite a project, and an enjoyable one, at that. I have also come to realise that reading these chronologically is a good idea. I recently found another author I enjoyed (Evanovich). Somehow I misinterpreted her titles in my quick shuffle at the library shelf and ended up grabbing one of her most recent rather than one of her first, as I had intended. -bit frustrating. I will go with a careful list next time I am refreshing my supply of Parker books.

And I will see if there's any hope for catching up on Spenser for Hire. However, you know how it goes. So frequently the movie/show is a let down after the book.

Well, the good news is that a series can't possibly keep up with individual books (or, at least, not for long :^), so what is left is a general impression of how the television character jives with the one in print.

For some reason, for the longest time, I avoided watching Spenser for Hire for the same perceived reason: I figured the show'd be a cheap knockoff of the original. And while there are some weak epidsodes, overall, once I started to watch the show (home sick from work), I felt that Robert Urich and Avery Brooks - and the writers, natch - did enough justice to the concept to become a fan.

Cheers...
