I'm totally exhausted.  Muse Margaret called and she loved most of the new stuff - she laughed, she was touched.  But there were about six things that didn't sit well with her, so we went over them and I just removed all six of them, which cut about four pages and really did tighten things up.  One thing she thought was just unnecessary as it didn't really mean anything.  Two other things she thought just went on a bit too long, so one I cut in its entirety and the other I shortened by an entire page.  She's just unerring in what to fix.  She did ask me to take out a paragraph about her, but I refused - she's very shy, but she's been such an important part of my life that to remove that would be folly.  Besides, her husband played a part in two upcoming things I'm going to talk about so you have to know the history a little.

BK, Margaret may be your muse, but is she a book editor in real life?  It sounds like she could (or even should) be doing this professionally. :D

I filed my federal taxes last night and it went without problem though I did have to create a new account. I hope this doesn't happen every year. What's the point of creating an account if it's not there the next year.

I also went to the post office before I came to the office and put my state taxes in the mail. I've ranted about this before but I will not pay $9.95 for the "privilege" of filing my taxes electronically when I can do it  for the cost of a stamp. NY State and the tax system is so f****d up that I think they may never get around to fixing it.

End of rant.

Have a nice day ;)

American Idiot sounds like a ridiculous idea to me.....but then I have only listened to the CD once.  Crazy.....I am more interested in the musical ENRON, even if it is coming over from England and will be a warmed over version of whatever it is....

Off to do some non-quotidian things on the first of February.  I don't even know what quotidian means.....but I would not want to see a film about it.  I hope to be home in time to see 55 Days at Peking on TCM at 10:30 a.m.

TOD:

The first author whose work I went crazy-mad for was Agatha Christie.  I was in seventh grade when I picked up my mother's copy of HALLOWE'EN PARTY and loved it.  Over the next few years I went through every Christie book in my local library.  It was a major event for me when her last four novels were released.  I remember how stunned I was when Hercule Poirot's obituary appeared on the front page of The New York TImes.
