Week in Review

This is something I am usually going to do on Saturday, to more or less replace A Thousand Days, because I epically failed on that front. Basically I write little interesting tidbits of random things that happened during the week, even if it is not particularly interesting. This week it starts Thursday the 6th and ends today, Wednesday the 12th.

Thursday-It's that time of year at JCP. A careful selection of all the worst and most obnoxious versions of Christmas songs are playing there. The few decent ones they accidentally let slip will soon be just as irritating through pure repetition. Also, apparently it is the time of year to play Mexican music? Seriously, every third song was in Spanish.

Friday-To think that Rear Window was considered scandalous in the day. Life was so different back then. Also, I finally got new Khakis and British pants during my hour long lunch since it was an eight hour shift.

Saturday-Things I have done since Wednesday, school, work, sleep, exercised, and watched Rear Window.

Sunday-Sweet blessed day off. I need to find the instructions to Hit the Deck card game. I have the game, not the instructions, and playing it like Uno is kind of lame.

Monday-Back to work, but I was just there. My family ate all the fish so I had fries for dinner, and pretty much all the salad.

Tuesday-Why was it so busy today? Seriously? Tuesday is never busy, but even into the afternoon I could not get away from the register. Oh, and apparently I eat too much salad at dinner. They have to add a whole extra head. Well excuse me for trying to have a balanced diet!

Wednesday-I am all up to speed. Not that I am using speed, because I don't take drugs, unless they are farm grown naturally and organic*.


*That was another joke, I don't actually take drugs. Well, like Aspirin and stuff, sometimes, but I even try to stay away from over-the-counter stuff because I feel like an excessive amount of medicine use can actually be detrimental to your body in the long run. I only take drugs when I need to.

Decisions

So November is here, which has meant NaNoWriMo to me for the past several years. Except, this year...yeah, I won't be doing it. I came to this decision on Sunday the 2ed. I know what you're thinking. "You gave up so soon?" "Only the second day and you decided it wasn't worth your time?" And any other questions you may have asked. Trust me, I wondered them too. But it wasn't on the 2ed that I first considered it. It wasn't like, on the 2ed, after a long time of wanting to do it, I changed my mind. I kept going back and forth and it was on the 2ed, as I was staring at the few thousand words I already had, that I realized this wasn't right for this year.

There are many reasons I decided this. The first being I just don't feel it this year. Again I know what you're thinking, "But you are supposed to write through those moments, otherwise you would rarely write!" That is exactly what I thought, which was why I was unsure until the second day of NaNoWriMo. It isn't just a case of "writer's block." Sometimes writing is hard work, but  I was experiencing that either. This was a complete disinterest from what I was doing. I have written a novel feeling this way before, and when all was said and done it wasn't worth it. I look back on that novel as a lesson and a mistake to not repeat. I love to write, and so I see no need to force it when I am not feeling it.

Second reason I am a quitter is because of time. Yep, time. Such an iconic excuse. But well, maybe November-when school is getting pretty intense, I am working over twice as much because of the holidays, and all the other business that comes with this time of year-is not the best time for me to try to write a novel. I know the whole point of the exercise is to make time, but I am not sure if I am but I feel busier this year, (maybe I am just lazier, I don't know) and I would like some time to just pause every once in a while and rest. The book is longer and more complex than the one last year, and I am  not sure I could keep up the pace, and I hate slowing down in the middle of a book. If I do, I have a hard time getting back into it. I am one of those people that get stressed with a super busy life, even if it is super busy with fun things.

The last, and probably the most important reason, the reason that made the other two relevant. I want to concentrate on editing my other books. Right now I want to work on my older novels to make the better for eventual publishing. This is something I am actually pretty excited about, and I am doing tons of research on self-publishing and the more traditional route. Usually I hate to edit, but right now I am actually enjoying the process of thinking how I can make my books better.  I would have to put my editing on hold while I wrote my novel. I feared that if a did that, I would have lost this editing momentum.

The other two reasons I could put aside, but the last one is what really demanded my attention, and it is definitely what tipped the scales for me. I think seeing Cycle actually availed for sale excited me, and I would like to see the others up there too, (even if no one ever bought them.) It made my hopes of someday being a recognized author more tangible to me.

New

In this humbum life that I call my own, very little new stuff happens. Every once in a while, a few insignificant and meaningless changes crop up, and this post is concerned with those changes.

First of all, my new hair. Well, technically it is the same old hair that I had before, I didn't grow a new crop of new hair, (thought I guess it might all be new hair I've grown since the last picture of myself I have posted...) but rather my hair is now cut differently. I present to you the hair cut that I have been told makes me look younger, older, edgier, and more sophisticated.

I spent like seven minutes making it so the pictures would be side by side.

New term of college. As a finish up a term of college where I was nearly driven insane by Math101, (because it was ridiculously easy but I had to take it because everyone has to take it.) (This is weird, everything I write now is highlighted. It doesn't show up like that in the actual post, but it is doing it to me in the writing stage.) For the first time since I started college I am actually taking more than one class per term that deals with actual accounting.

New season of Korra. Book 4: Balance. I am both excited and a little said. Also somewhat confused. At the present time I am on a search for way there was a year between each Korra season, but the 4th one comes only three months after the end of the 3rd one. (The irony here is that there is only a few months time between each season  in the show's time, but three years pass between season 3 and 4.)

 

 

And last but not least there is coming a new NaNoWriMo. A vaguely Victorian/steampunk theme this year. As soon as they clear them from last year and put all this year's stuff up I will bet hitting the forums in my free time and working on my novel's outline this month.

Very Exciting News

The first of today's very exciting news concerns my family. My sister Megan had a successful delivery of Elizabeth Faith Hafle on Thursday of last week. (Yea, I know, it's been like, a full week. Don't judge. It may take me a while but I get there.)

 

(I stole this picture from Megan off of Facebook. I hope you don't mind. If you do send my a very bitter and judging message.)

 

Second order of exciting news. My book Cycle is now available for sale. You can purchase it at Amazon, or the CreateSpace e-store at this ULR https://www.createspace.com/4626634. If you get it off of Amazon you'll get to it more easily if you search for it under my name, (author name) Alex Quillian, than under Cycle. There are a lot of books out there that have the word "Cycle" in the title. (As cool as the amazon page is, get them at the direct URL if you could. Totally selfish request. I get higher royalties that way.)

 

 

See, it's all official. You can even look inside of it.

 

Third, last, but not least. Dave's Killer Bread is here, in Tennessee! All the way from Oregon I have missed your delightful, rich, wheaty taste. I have longed, and longed for bread this tasty ever since moving down here. They don't really believe in wheat bread down here. Even the wheat bread was white.

 

 

Failures

I have to important failures to discuss today. My first being, my failure to A Thousand Days. Starting in June, I just sort of stopped. I fell out of the habit, and well, never started it up again. A part of me is really upset for doing this, I was over half way done, after all.



Well, for any of you still following, my life is the same, pretty much. My oldest sister is having another baby, my second oldest sister got a new car because her old on kept breaking, and I am in a different semester of school. Same job, same basic interests. Same lame social life. I have accounts on a couple different social media sights, but due to the fact I never do anything I never post. In essence I am living the same monotonous unchanging life that makes for a rather lack luster lif

e on the internet. Maybe I should join Tumblr. Oddly it seems it is those kinds of people who become popular there.

 

On to other failures and potentially exciting news, I am attempting to make it so my book Cycle can be purchased. I am following the steps with CreateSpace, and it mat be available for purchase within the next couple weeks. It might already be available if not for one small thing.

 

The cover was monstrous.

 

When I was done with all of the steps and such, I sent in this picture to be the cover.

 

 

And this is what I got. More or less.





 

So I have reworked the cover to be lighter. I also chose a different picture that would not be as prone to being made dark and dusky I figured I would give it one more go. I don't have the money to keep ordering $7 dollar proofs indefinitely. It mat not seem like much, but this is the third proof. If I like this third cover, I will publish it through as many channels as CreateSpace offers, and maybe look into getting stalls for events, and junk like that. More as it comes up, which it probably won't.

 

Also check out this cool T.A.R.D.I.S. thumb drive I got.

 

 

Day 609

Day six hundred nine

July 2, 2014: Desolations of Smaug, fireworks at church, some good head way into a series I am working on. All in all a pretty pleasant day.

Day 608

Day six hundred eight

July 1, 2014: My summer vacation is two weeks long, and one of those weeks is a cheat. Next week is my only full week, but this semester ends tomorrow, and doesn’t begin until Wednesday after my full week off. It annoys me, this fake second week.

Day 607

Day six hundred seven

June 30, 2014: Apparently Lego sets come out earlier in Europe than in America. Who knew?

Day 606

Day six hundred six

June 29, 2014: So, I am evil. Abi is finally reading the last book to my Once Upon trilogy. She hasn’t finished it yet, but there are kind of two endings. There is the ending when all of the action is done, and then there is the epilog set a few years into the future. You know that device. When the pre-epilog ending is kind of abrupt. All the main problems are cleared up but you still feel a decided lack of closer. It is particularly bad with this one because I kind of pulled a Goldman type ending by introducing new complications right at the end it. Yeah. Well I took out the epilog, so the ending still makes sense, but it will be frustrating.

Days 586-605

Day five hundred eighty-six

June 9, 2014: Abi really wants to watch The Lord of the Rings.

Day five hundred eighty-seven

June 10, 2014: Started a new yoga/strength training video set. Yeah. I’m feeling it. It’s been a while since I have actually been this sore. I would say it was a good sore, only I am not a crazy liar. Well, I am a crazy liar, but not about exercise feeling good. I will admit, after a long time without exercising, I just don’t feel as good all around.

Day five hundred eighty-eight

June 11, 2014: That’s it, I’m moving to Sparta.

Day five hundred eighty-nine

June 12, 2014: I have officially decided that “at” is my least favorite word ever. It wide spread and to be honest repetitious use as cast a bad light upon all sentences ending in prepositions.

Day five hundred ninety

June 13, 2014: This post does not actually exist due to superstition.

Day five hundred ninety-one

June 14, 2014: Happy fake birthday to Katy.

Day five hundred ninety-two

June 15, 2014: I wonder when my streak of Sunday’s off is going to end.

Day five hundred ninety-three

June 16, 2014: Happy real birthday to me. Turned 21. Though there was no celebration. That will happen later in the week. Life is too busy and crazy right now to actually do it on the day.

Day five hundred ninety-four

June 17, 2014: There is nothing left in life but to wonder upon existence.

Day five hundred ninety-five

June 18, 2014: Happy real birthday to Katy and happy second birthday to me. Went out to dinner, got the least alcoholic tasting alcoholic drink available and opened presents.

Day five hundred ninety-six

June 19, 2014: This and Saturday are the only days I am working this week. Probably because I don’t get credit apps. In fact a bunch of new people are being hired just so the credit app slackers can be given fewer hours. This isn’t speculation. The boss man said as much. His exact words were, “I’m going to start interviewing at least a couple people a week. We can’t afford to have people not reaching our goals.”

Day five hundred ninety-seven

June 20, 2014: Watched the first The Lord of the Rings movie with the kids. They all thought the talking parts were boring, especially since I was shushing them.

Day five hundred ninety-eight

June 21, 2014: Today was not the best of days.

Day five hundred ninety-nine

June 22, 2014: I don’t know where the time went today.

Day six hundred

June 23, 2014: My kindle arrived today. Happy third birthday to me. I set it all up, downloaded some public domain books on it, and then ate my cake.

Day six hundred one

June 24, 2014: Got three credit apps today. Once upon a time that would have made me happy, but now the next time I go to work the boss will be all over me telling me to do that well again and congratulation me and acting like I freakin’ found the cure for cancer and have helped the company more than I ever have, just by convincing three people to go into debt. I think almost more than the incessant drive is the almost manic fondling of the people who do get credit apps. Tell me “good job” or better yet a simple “thanks” once and none of this obsessive, forced praise.

Day six hundred two

June 25, 2014: I am not sure when I began The Wheel of Time series, but now I am done. There is something sad about that. I have been reading that series for a long time, over several months now, often reading a couple shorter books between each one. It’s been a story I have been with for so long, reading the very last words felt a little strange. Also, the 1979, animated, Warner Brothers’ version of The Lord of the Rings is trippy. Aragorn is Native American, I can live with that. Boromir is a Viking, that can be dealt with. Gimli is only like a foot shorter than Legolas, that fact makes me wince but I can understand that it was low budget. But why, dear Lord, are none of the human men wearing pants? The elves, hobbits, and dwarves get to wear pants, why not the humans?

Day six hundred three

June 26, 2014: So at JCP today there was this guy that looked exactly like my brother-in-law Shawn, only he was African-American. So it was a little weird actually, because Shawn in really white, but this really black guy and he look so much alike. They kind of even act the same.

Day six hundred four

June 27, 2014: Watched The Two Towers today. There were a couple of times when Colleen and Jacob had to turn their faces away…in disgust because they don’t like smooching. Aragorn and Arwen sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g.

Day six hundred five

June 28, 2014: I really wish people would just read small print so they would stop yelling at me about how items are priced incorrectly.

Days 583-585

Day five hundred eighty-three

June 6, 2014: People need to stop telling me to have a good weekend. Dude, I work retail, I am lucky if I have one day of the weekend off.

Day five hundred eighty-four

June 7, 2014: Coupons don’t work with doorbusters. It’s not my fault, don’t lecture me for the next five minutes how that is dishonest and manipulative on the part of the store. Look, yes, it is manipulative, but it’s not like a gun was held to your head to shop, and it’s not like I am making you purchase the items.

Day five hundred eighty-five

June 8, 2014: Much needed day off. Work has been particularly stressful lately, if you haven’t been able to tell. So I am not sure if I should be happy or sad that the next few weeks I only work three days a week.

Day 582

Day five hundred eighty-two

June 5, 2014: To be honest, what I really want right now is to go to sleep. I have been fine all day but I was suddenly was hit with the tired stick.

Days 580-581

Day five hundred eighty

June 3, 2014: I am typing this in Dvorak. To be honest I am surprised by how well I remember how to type this way. It has been a long time.

Day five hundred eighty-one

June 4, 2014: Well after three weeks of being cast into kids I finally had another shift in men’s. It was a slow day, don’t get me wrong, Wednesday is always slow, but it was positively hopping compared to men’s.

Day 579

Day five hundred seventy-nine

June 2, 2014: My hair looks great. Quite frankly the hairdresser didn’t do anything too freaky. I was expecting some punk hair due but he basically gave a better styled and cut version of what I already had. And why do I manage to always pick a scent from Bath and Body Works the year they are planning on phasing it out? I don’t mean to, it just happens.

Day 578

Day five hundred seventy-eight

June 1, 2014: Getting my hair cut and highlighted at JCP tomorrow. I am nervous, to say the least. I said the hair dresser could do whatever he wanted, and now I am kind of freaking out. I fear he is going to use the clippers on me.

 

Day 577

Day five hundred seventy-seven

May 31, 2014: The light bulb in my room is acting weird.

Day 576

Day five hundred seventy-six

May 30, 2014: Got to it with five minutes to spare.

 

Day 575

Day five hundred seventy-five

May 29, 2014: Same old, same old.

Days 570-574

Day five hundred seventy

May 24, 2014: Face tattoos. I just don’t really see how that is such a good idea.

Day five hundred seventy-one

May 25, 2014: Well, nothing too exciting happened today. No one ruptured their quadriceps ligament unlike last week.

Day five hundred seventy-two

May 26, 2014: Petition for adults to get summer vacation. Anyone with me.

Day five hundred seventy-three

May 27, 2014: Well, all but two registers at JCP wouldn’t work for like the first two hours. And it wasn’t just the store I worked at. Only the two in the salon were working. It was in several of them. We are all thinking someone hacked or something. That’s is just we employees, not like the bosses or anything.

Day five hundred seventy-four

May 28, 2014: Did not sleep well last night, and when I did I kept having dreams because it wasn’t a very deep sleep and you all know how I don’t really like dreaming.

Day 570

Day five hundred seventy

May 24, 2014: Face tattoos. I just don’t really see how that is such a good idea.

Day 569

Day five hundred sixty-nine

May 23, 2014: Finished school early, got a nice big check from work, (finally seeing the fruits of my labor,) had some quality time with a book, even watched an episode of something from my Hulu queue, and work, while being work, wasn’t too bad. All in all a pretty decent day. Though now Mum is upset I didn’t tell anyone else about the pie.

Day 568

Day five hundred sixty-eight

May 22, 2014: Getting really tired, of being tired.

Day 567

Day five hundred sixty-seven

May 21, 2014: Why can’t I think of anything fun to say?

Day 566

Day five hundred sixty-six

May 20, 2014: Shake time, shake time, shake time yeah. Also who knew baby oil lotion would repel mosquitoes.

Days 563-565

Day five hundred sixty-three

May 17, 2014: Happy birthday Mum!

Day five hundred sixty-four

May 18, 2014: Well, today was fun, and I mean that ironically.

Day five hundred sixty-five

May 19, 2014: After this week school should lessen a bit. Of the three courses I started this semester one of them only lasted six weeks so work and school will be a bit less relentless.

Day 562

Day five hundred sixty-two

May 16, 2014: It’s late. I want sleep.

Day 561

Day five hundred sixty-one

May 15, 2014: I’m just…nothing ever happens to me.

Day 560

Day five hundred sixty

May 14, 2014: School and work, school and work.

Day 559

Day five hundred fifty-nine

May 13, 2014: The electricity at my house went crazy today. On then off then on then off then on then off then on then off for a couple of hours.

Day 558

Day five hundred fifty-eight

May 12, 2014: New htc one commercial. Poor cliché advertising gimmick, or one of the most subtle jabs at the consumer mind-set of America?

Day 557

Day five hundred fifty-seven

May 11, 2014: I had a trippy dream last night. It was basically seemed like an intergalactic game of thrones.

Days 555 and 556

Day five hundred fifty-five

May 9, 2014: Forget it.

Day five hundred fifty-six

May 10, 2014: So I was looking at strength training exercises today, researching and stuff. In google it kept wanting me to looking up strength training for mass, and all I could think of was strength training for being in a mass, like a catholic service. It actually took me several minutes to realize it meant muscle mass.

Day 554

Day five hundred fifty-four

May 8, 2014: So Wednesday morning when Mum was driving me home from my over-night preadolescent-sitting job the car suddenly stunk of skunk. Like bad. We were coughing, and eye were watering. The car stunk for the rest of the day, and it wasn’t like we ran over the skunk or anything. Well yesterday evening, I was at my over-night preadolescent-sitting job again every once in a while I smelled skunk. I sniffed all the windows, but it was strongest in the living room. And then, this morning, when I got home, I was unpacking my bad, and noticed…it was my bag. It still stunk from the day before! I febrezed it, and it smells okay now.

Day 553

Day five hundred fifty-three

May 7, 2014: My only day off this week and I did nothing. Absolutely nothing. I did a bit of school, but only the slightest bit. Nooooooothing. And it was amazing. 

Day 552

Day five hundred fifty-two

May 6, 2014: Never mind. May does do that thingy. It just wasn’t working yesterday. Whoa. Apparently thingy is a Microsoft Word approved word. Voted in the primary today. Whoo hoo.

Day 547-551

Day five hundred forty-seven

May 1, 2014: Thought I was going to work today. Someone couldn’t go into work yesterday so I took her shift. I thought we were going to switch for my shift today, but then it never said that on the schedule, still didn’t say it this morning when I checked. I am lucky I checked a just before I got ready for my shift because it had suddenly changed. Oh well.

Day five hundred forty-eight

May 2, 2014: I love working weekends. Not.

Day five hundred forty-nine

May 3, 2014: Went to The Curiosity Book Shop and finally spent the $20 certificate I had there. I spent a bit more than the $20. Also I spent almost the rest of my Christmas room décor money and got a clock.

Day five hundred fifty

May 4, 2014: Sundays are always so slow and weird. The people are weird, the shifts are weird, the sermon was weird. It was about fleeing “sin.” I put sin in hyphens because while it technically was about sin in general it was mostly about sex. Nip it! May the 4^th be with you.

Day five hundred fifty-one

May 5, 2014: May doesn’t do that cool automatic thing on Word where it fills in the date. Or it doesn’t seem to be working for me. I am disappointed. Like really.

Day 546

Day five hundred forty-six

April 30, 2014: Feast or famine with work. Either I am working over seven days in a row, with at least five days a week, or I am working one day a week. Can’t it be like how it used to be and a nice and consistent four days a week? I liked that. That was nice.

Day 545

Day five hundred forty-five

April 29, 2014: We have a sink hole, and a geo engineer is going to look at it. As it so happens, we watched the “The Hungry Earth” episode of Doctor Who, (well, I didn’t watch it, because I had already watched it, Katy and Mum watched it, but it was watched last night.) Enough to say we are watching our lawn for blue grass and the emergence of lizard people.

Day 544

Day five hundred forty-four

April 28, 2014: Huge electrical storm last night. Every time lightning struck it would light up the entire room. It was pretty constant for over an hour, and interdentally all night, and today. The cloud cover was so dark sometimes that it looked like night. But you know the weather, it’s sooOOOoo chaAangable.

Days 541-543

Day five hundred forty-one

April 25, 2014: Read The Fault in Our Stars today. The library finally had it. I feel like I should have cried. I might have on a different day, but I was in a very non-crying mood. Sometimes it depends more on my mood than the actual content of the book that makes me cry. If I am in a crying mood I will cry at the smallest thing, but even the saddest thing ever will leave me dry eyed if I am feeling even keel that day.

Day five hundred forty-two

April 26, 2014: I am so interesting.

Day five hundred forty-three

April 27, 2014: My exercising pants are falling apart. Which is sad, because they are my favorite exercising pants, and I don’t really see exercising pants much like them.

Day 540

Day five hundred forty

April 24, 2014: Well I actually had a long post written, but then I accidentally erased it, and I don’t feel like rewriting it.

Days 534-539

Day five hundred thirty-four

April 18, 2014: Uhg, I keep being scheduled on days I can’t work past 7 p.m. (Should I put two periods there?) I try to enter the dates in the system but all three times the system gets it wrong and the person who does the scheduling won’t use the physical list of dates I give.

Day five hundred thirty-five

April 19, 2014: Saturday’s off are so nice. Went and saw Labyrinth at the Belcourt Theater.

Day five hundred thirty-six

April 20, 2014: Happy Easter. He is risen, risen indeed.

Day five hundred thirty-seven

April 21, 2014: I had something that I was going to write about today, but I have forgotten.

Day five hundred thirty-eight

April 22, 2014: The one day I work this week. Maybe it is a good thing, but only one? I would have liked three or so. Enough to feel a good rest after so much work, but…one?

Day five hundred thirty-nine

April 23, 2014: No, no, I just saw a most horrible awful. I saw a commercial for that show Scandal and Henry from Eureka was on it and he was evil and holding people hostage and shooting them in the head and angrily enjoying. It was terrible. Between him and Sheriff Carter being the new Maytag man I am very sad.

Days 531-533

Day five hundred thirty-one

April 15, 2014: Apparently, JCP now sells rosaries.

Day five hundred thirty-two

April 16, 2014: I wasted so much time today trying to get a stupid feature on one of my classes to work, and I am no closer to getting it to work than I was before. I am kind of upset about it actually.

Day five hundred thirty-three

April 17, 2014: It is done. It has been two weeks since I have had a day off from work, and nine days since I haven’t had to work at JCP. But tomorrow, tomorrow I have off. Though I still have school, and quite a bit of it, I will not have to work one bit this weekend.

Day 530

Day five hundred thirty

April 14, 2014: Six down, three to go. I have never worked this many days in a row. I wish I had something more interesting to talk about. I guess I could tell about how I filled out my FASFA. Today I filled out my 2014-2015 FASFA.

Days 525-529

Day five hundred twenty-five

April 9, 2014: So today I close, which means I get off at 9:30 p.m. and then I have to be back at work at 4:45 a.m. the next day. I part of me feels like I should just stay there over night or something.

Day five hundred twenty-six

April 10, 2014: Inventory is basically just counting things.

Day five hundred twenty-seven

April 112014: Day three of working nine in a row. Nine days, in a row. Plus I am starting a new semester, so the next couple weeks are going to be busy with school. One the plus side I get the next two Saturdays off.

Day five hundred twenty-eight
