Events! And Cold Comfort.
It’s Monday, and another scorcher. I spent my Sunday putting together an Ikea dresser. I triumphed, but just barely. Between the dresser and rock climbing, my knees look like hamburger. I could, i suppose, stop using my knees to brace myself as I clamber up the wall…but I doubt that’s going to happen.
Anyway. There’s an interview with me over at the Book Mogul. And this Thursday at 7pm I will be signing at the Cedar Hills Crossing Powell’s! Come on by, if you like. I will be reading from Defiance, the Strange Angels book that won’t be released until spring 2011. So now’s your chance to hear a little of What Happens Next with Dru and her (occasionally) merry crew.
Things have calmed down immensely. There’s a sense of the storm being past. When you decide to no longer deal with someone who creates drama like a thunderstorm creates lightning, there’s a certain relief. I can deal with the guilt of not being able to help –I did literally all I could, and not only am I at a loss to figure out what more I could do, so is everyone else involved in the situation. In other words, things didn’t go belly-up for any lack of work on my part.
Cold comfort, maybe, but you take it where you find it.
And with that, I’m out. See you later, alligators.

I had this visual of you trying to use the allen wrench with your knees to assemble the IKEA dresser… *snort*
You did what you could for the person, setting personal limits keeps you from being sucked up into situations you need not be in.

You know, that image is probably a little closer to the truth than I’d like. I believe in furniture assembly as a full-contact sport.

Eesh. Just to let you know, two Ikea hot dogs followed by Ikea ice cream would make a wulfen sick. Really.
P.S. I was just in WA about two weeks ago.
D: Living in Berkeley, California, I am very sad to be missing out on Defiance, but hey. The wait is worth it anyway
