Kim Harrison is, perhaps, one of my more favorite authors. The thing, though, isn’t that I enjoy her writing but I think she needs top expand what she is doing. With that said, I am somewhat excited that she is publishing a new book for YA’s. I look forward to reading it and now that I am employed… or will be working very soon (the company I wrote about finally called and offered me the job they did but didn’t offer me the other week) and with that might be able to purchase the books that are new that I collect and want to read. Of course, in the future I would like to purchase some DVD seasons of my more favorite TV shows.

Those are:

1. Leverage
2. Psych
3. Eureka
4. 24
5. Bones
6. House
7. Chuck
8. Life on Mars
9. Battlestar Galactica

I also enjoy:

1. Modern Marvels
2. Wild West Tech
3. Cities of the Underworld
4. Dirty Jobs
5. Mythbusters

As for the things sitting around waiting for me to read, I have:

1. Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy
2. Deja Dead
3. Death du Jour
4. The Explosionist
5. Freakonomics
6. Soul Catcher
7. Princess Ben

This list is not a list of the order things will be read.

I am currently reading: White Witch, Black Curse by Kim Harrison. This is book seven in the series and I think I wouldn’t be upset to have Harrison take a break and leap into something else. I did find a panel from some convention in New York City where she talks about writing. I thought some of the comments were good. Not sure I agree with a lot of what is considered wisdom from writers, but will probably have to be published to start speaking my mind and having it listened to.

Speaking of books and work, my new job (and I hope it doesn’t last any longer than it has to) is good news for my family and interesting news for me. I will be working a 10 pm to 7 am shift stocking shelves. Fortunately, the store I will be working at isn’t 24/7 and will not (necessarily) have to deal with customer’s throughout 90% of the night. I am hoping it is one of those positions where they give an assignment, let me put on my iPod, and leave me alone until the next assignment comes along.

Anyway, I am trying to get done with the writing sample. Hope it is done this week and that I have applied. I have this little card of things I would like to acquire or earn. One of those items was a college degree. That’s out of the way and sitting in some papers on a shelf next to my desk. I took some pictures of the office/work area to post but it was pointed out to me that I didn’t straighten, didn’t clean, and didn’t close any of the drawers. That needs doing too. Then I will try to remember to post them.

That’s all for today.
