Sick day

Kim was complaining on the phone about how nobody posts to this anymore, so I thought I'd give a stab at it, although I don't really have a whole lot to say, really. I took a sick day today, because I had a really annoying sinus headache, which only got worse in the morning after I called out and went back to bed. I got up at noon and took the bus about 20 blocks in a complete fog and went to the grocery store to get some cheese and a green pepper, then went back up to my apartment, took some Excedrin, ate a quesadilla and started to feel better. I watched some X-Files and read some of the new David Sedaris book and watched my favorite scene of Penelope about a frillion times.

I also got an email from my agent, who said that she's gearing up to send out my manuscript after Labor Day, because that's when all the publishers will be settling back into their routines after all the conferences and vacations during the summer. So I'm impatient, but I also know this is the best idea, so that the book doesn't fall through the cracks. I'm so lucky to have somebody behind me that believes in the project so much--I only hope that it all lives up to our expectations.

That's really all that's going on in my life. Sorry to be so boring, but oh well. My life is boring. Oh, also I saw Wanted, which stars the amazing James McAvoy, who was typically wonderful. The movie was violent, but for an action film it had quite a quirky, ridiculous personality--only a crazy person could've made it, but a brilliant crazy person. I highly recommend.
