Damn - I almost forgot to blog tonight, and I really don't have time to craft something coherent. Today was an adventure, which involved absolutely no writing and a lot of futility, more's the pity. I'm scrambling to get ready to go to Denver for RomCon on Thursday, and so today was filled with a combination of errands and other to-do list items that I somehow decided to prioritize.
However, I spent the middle of the day going to Berkeley...and I took a bus and the BART to get there, which is pretty much a sign of the apocalypse for me since I'm not in love with public transport. But my first class is tomorrow, and I wanted to make sure I knew where everything was today since I can't be late tomorrow...and when I started investigating the parking situation online, I found that the parking situation is so dismal that even I reconsidered taking my car there. So I took the bus downtown, then took the BART to Berkeley - and the BART situation was totally fine, even if the bus to downtown takes way too long over some of the steepest hills in the city, which made me slightly carsick. Once I got to Berkeley (not sure I'm allowed to ssss when they're employing me), I met the woman coordinating the program, signed some forms, found my classroom, etc., and then promptly left Berkeley and came back to the evil city. The class should be fun, though, and it's not until 1pm, so I think I can make it.
After I got back, I spent some time catching up on email, then went to Flax art supply to buy some little organza bag thingies for giveaways that I'm doing at RomCon (Ghiradelli chocolates, and a few of the bags will have stickers offering a free download of HEIRESS so I know how many people actually open the stuff and ever look inside). Then I went to a cafe and ate an early supper while teaching myself how to format ebooks. Between the time I spent reading about formatting on BART and the time I spent playing around with it tonight, I probably spent six or seven hours on it today -- which really should not be the priority, given that I have to pack and write a book and teach a class tomorrow. C'est la vie, though - and now I really must sleep. Goodnight!
