Dh was out of town last week. I’d planned to spend the time working like a busy bee, but instead I socialized with friends and got my hair done. (Plus a few chapters edited.) I also actually did a tremendous amount of thinking while he was gone. I thought about everything from pen names to websites to computer systems (I’m thinking about changing to a Mac.).
I’m now a step closer to getting Gothic Passions up on Kindle. I’ve had the follow up to that story finished for years. If GP does well, then I’ll add the novella follow up. My second adult UF is now sitting in N.Y., which brings my New York submissions up to two urban fantasies and one contemporary romance. I’m finishing up my edits on my young adult urban fantasy. Hoping it will be ready to submit by Jan. After that I’m going to take some time to figure out what I am going to write next. May be going in a completely new direction or an old one, depending on your perspective.
This weekend we took the time to go the movies. On Saturday we went to see 2012. It’s definitely a boom, boom movie. It was like watching The Day After Tomorrow, The Poseidon Adventure, and Independence all at once. *ggg* Actually, it was entertaining enough if you ignored logic and most of the acting. (wg) Last night we went to see the Invention of Lying. It was definitely an interesting movie. Clever idea. (ie no one on the planet knows how to lie and they say whatever pops into their minds) It dropped the ball at times, but the middle and the ending came through.
Have you seen any movies worth noting? Please share. I’m open to all suggestions. 
I rented Lymelife on the weekend, fabulous indie film. It stars Alec Baldwin, Timothy Hutton, Emma Roberts and Kiernan and Rory Culkin, who were magnificent. The Culkin boys can act their asses off.
by Vivi Anna November 16th, 2009 at 3:11 pmHey Vivi, I haven’t heard of it. I’ll have to check it out. I really want to see the Brothers Bloom. It looked fabulous.
by Jordan Summers November 16th, 2009 at 4:36 pmCareer direction takes a lot of thought. I look forward to whatever you come up with. : )
I loved Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Loved loved loved. Cannot wait for DVD.
by Charli November 16th, 2009 at 6:17 pmCharli, It does take a lot of thought and planning. Thanks!
I’m so jealous. I really wanted to see that movie.
by Jordan Summers November 16th, 2009 at 7:22 pmI saw Brothers Bloom…it’s pretty good. Adrian Brody is always good.
by Vivi Anna November 16th, 2009 at 9:09 pmVivi, Not that good, eh?
by Jordan Summers November 16th, 2009 at 10:25 pmFirst week of November, I saw MOON in the cinemas, and loved it! Think in the US it may be out on DVD by now – rent or buy it
by Tez Miller November 16th, 2009 at 11:35 pmTez, I actually saw it at the theater. It was good.
by Jordan Summers November 17th, 2009 at 12:00 amIt wasn’t awesome. I liked it, but I wouldn’t rewatch it.
Rachel Weisz is charming in it, and Mark Ruffalo is a great character actor.
It was good, well acted, good story, but there was something missing for me.
by Vivi Anna November 17th, 2009 at 11:48 amVivi, That’s what I thought from your comment. We’ll probably still watch it, but it’s good to know.
by Jordan Summers November 17th, 2009 at 1:51 pmI recently saw Julie & Julia, great movie. Made me want to learn french cooking.
by Ann November 17th, 2009 at 10:12 pmAnn, That’s another movie I really wanted to see, mainly for Ms. Streep. I bet it did. The previews made me want to go to Paris. *g*
by Jordan Summers November 17th, 2009 at 11:41 pmI went and saw THE BOX but I can’t recommend it. I was left pretty disappointed… hell, the DH fell ASLEEP.
