Tom is Away

Couple Launched 18-Month Egging Spree , enacted pettiest revenge ever.

offer of representation on the table.
most likely taking it, but taking a few minutes to think on it.

apparently, i sweat a lot when talking to agents on the phone.

inexplicably tired

i’d say i’m waiting by the phone, but that’s true every day because it’s always in my pocket.
but if I didn’t have a cell phone, that’s what I’d be doing.

for the first time since 2002, I’m now officially on a 12-month pay schedule. pretty exciting.

waiting on a phone call

asleep

researching the hell out of an agent.

acquiring meat for dinner.

currently reading: "Waiting for the Barbarians" by JM Coetzee

cursing my asshole neighbor, whose overgrown shithole of a yard was bad enough before, but worse now that his superweeds are overtaking my yard (and grill, and table, and hammock…), cutting my legs when I try to walk through the yard.

It’s only a matter of time before that thing mutates and wreaks havoc on the town.

enjoying the free movie awesomeness of snagfilms.com

sending a full manuscript to another interested agent.
glad, mainly, just to be getting responses, rather than getting ignored.

For a guy who’s got a decade of experience on the radio, G. Cobb is shockingly awful.

getting my parking status situated at Temple, then checking out what is allegedly the best bookstore in the city, then probably meeting up with Mike for happy hour.

trying to decide if I feel like driving to Temple to set up my parking stuff for next semester

reading until I fall asleep, which will probably be soon, since this book is kinda boring.

watching "Intervention"

Good news of the day: one of my stories will be published in an upcoming issue of Storyglossia (most likely in September, but that’s not definite yet).

I think, in case you’re wondering, it’s an online only thing. I’ll obviously be updating this info.
