Crumbs of Wednesday: the administrative post.

Okay, so. A few things...

1. I am still assembling the T-shirt spreadsheet. I had intended to finish last night, but then my home internet decided to emulate the mighty banana slug and travel at a speed of approximately three miles per hour, making navigating LJ borderline impossible. So if you haven't heard back from me, you do not yet need to worry. I will post one more time when the spreadsheet is done, saying "if you haven't heard back from me, worry." But if you followed the instructions (name, size, color, email address on the original post) or contacted me and asked politely for an exception, you should be fine.

2. I just found out that apparently, my drummer on Wicked Girls was never paid. I thought he'd been paid out of the money I gave my producer, but no, that all went to mixing. Given the math of albums, this is totally believable, but marginally, you know, inconvenient. So if you don't yet have a copy of Wicked Girls, or wanted to get one for a friend, now would be an awesome time to do so, as I now have an unexpected recording-related bill to pay.

3. I have a convention this weekend, and word counts to make, and I'm trying to post a piece of Newsflesh-related short fiction every day during the countdown to Deadline. So in the interests of maintaining my own sanity, I'm declaring amnesty from my normal "answer all comments" blog policy where those posts are concerned. I'll try to answer direct questions and the like, but I won't answer every expression of "yay, more story." I'll read and appreciate them all, I just need to use my time in other ways right this second. :)

4. My phone is dead. Not just a little dead; dead-dead, the great death from which there is no returning. So I'm a little grumpy, and only accessible via electronic channels right now. Some of which don't work from home, where the internet is toast. Did I mention that this was the best week ever?

5. There is no number five. I just didn't want to end the list on an even number.

*hugs you a bunch*

May your phone regenerate in a cool new incarnation.

It is, in fact, THE EXACT SAME PHONE. Just not broken.

1. Cool
2. Bummer for your drummer. I bought a CD just now.
3. No worries.
4. Here, have a fun icon, compliments of Steve Miller (of the Liaden Universe).
5. Fish!

Yay, knives!

I've been looking for a cool prize to reward myself with due to meeting a deadline. Wicked Girls is perfect! Just bought it. *dances*

Maybe all the crappy stuff for this week is out of the way now and the rest will be filled with awesome feats of awesomeness. *crosses fingers* *sends letter to Great Pumpkin on your behalf*

Thank you!

I have ordered a cd with graduation monies that I have received! :-D I am looking forward to it.

That really sucks about your phone.

T-Shirt Spreadsheet?

Awesomesauce!

And the spreadsheet is to track the Wicked Girls short orders. I'm still assembling it.

Wish I had the money to spend but...get this....I've been suspended from work pending a drug test. Apparently, if you are sniffly and have bloodshot eyes, you must be a coke fiend. As opposed to oh, say, being someone with severe pollen allergies who happens to live in North Carolina.

Grrrr....

That's pretty fucked up, I must say!

I love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

And I love you.

Here's some Jo to make you feel better.

Oh, Jo. I miss you.

(1) I *need* that cd anyway, so I can play it repeatedly in the car on my way to work, and stop annoying my sweeties by playing their copy repeatedly at their place.

(2) busy, I understand. You need not take time to reply. I honestly do not expect replies to posts I make to favorites authors blogs.

(3) In the hopes it will make you smile, if like to let you know that I'm giving my mom a copy of Red Roses and Dead Things for mothers day, because I'm certain that she will love it :)

Best Mother's Day gift ever!

Rule 6: THERE IS NO...Rule 6.

XD

I hear an ominous musical sting coming on...

Ah, so you are intending posting a storylet every day? I had wondered, but had missed where you said that's what you're doing. Go you! That's a really good way to advertise it...

Where's the best place to get Wicked Girls, from you, or? Which gives you the best return?

In case she doesn't get back to you, I got it from CDBaby.

Expression of sympathy, to which there is no need for response.

Thanks, hon.

I thought...new phone...just a few weeks ago, stop on your way home all that?

Aw man. This week IS fired. (Can I refer you to someone who will *give* you a new phone, buy out any contracts and all that at the same time?)

Yesterday had puppies that snuggled and laid their wee chins on your shoulder when you picked them up. If today has fat guinea pigs in it, I'm set.

I managed to kill it very, very dead. It's all better now.

*HUGS*

I am now extra sorry I forgot to take weekend pictures off my camera last night, because my friend's wedding cake was of Stonehenge. With a Tardis in the center. It lit up and when I saw it, I thought of how much it would make you squee.

AWESOME.

My brain is now trying to work out some variation on a Kellis-Amberlee-style computer virus..."When will your phone rise?"

Yeah - it hurt my head too.

Well, there has been some talk of using modified worms/virii to deliver security patches to infected machines...

*hugs* Unfortunately we don't have any old phones around or I would donate one to the cause. Take care of yourself. We loves the cranky blonde, we do!

I managed to find my old one, thankfully.

Maybe for future sanity it's time to institute a code phrase or symbol that means "No Reply Necessary Just Loving On You" or something like that. (NRNJLOY is a bit clunky, and I'm sure you have better ideas.) If you're not already there, you will get to a point where comment-replying is seriously cutting into writing, which is what many of us, I imagine, would rather have you doing.

Maybe when I go full time...

But five isn't an even number....

Also, if it makes you feel better, I once through total ineptness sent my cell phone through the washing machine. It, uhm, didn't survive so well. And then the replacement phone got lost in the mail (er, well, UPS but same diff really). So, I went a good two weeks or more with no phone. I seriously thought I was going to have to enter a rehab program, I am scared how dependent I am on the blasted piece of plastic. Even more so now that I have a Droid.

Wow.

Okay, that's scary.

I like the banana slug metaphor.

Good tidings on dealing with these bothers.

Thank you!

You are not the only one having a terrible week (so far). I won't load your LJ page with my complaints. Suffice it to say that I went for ice cream last night to make it better.

As for your CDs, I signed up for email notification when Pretty Little Dead Girl comes back in. That's the best I can do. (That is the one there are still copies left of, isn't it?)

Here are hugs, and have all the ice cream you like.

PLDG should be back in stock soon.

5. There is no number five. I just didn't want to end the list on an even number.

Lol, you're like my sister. I always have to have even numbers, she'll only use odd numbers. And 58. I have no idea why it gets to be the exception XD

Math is fun!
