What a way to wake up...

No, I haven't heard anything about any of the novels I submitted anywhere, but I did apply for an Instructional Aide position at Upland Middle School, and they called me and set up an interview for tomorrow at 9:30. It's just 4 hours a day, so it shouldn't cut into my Kaplan hours, though it will cut into my writing hours, but I really want a steady paycheck, so what can you do?

I stayed up last night, thinking of one of my bunnies, writing the first chapter in my head. It's great that i know what I want to do, but I inevitably lose all that stuff and that's frustrating. Maybe I'll get to work on that after I eat breakfast...(yes, it's breakfast even though it's after 11 and closer to lunch time).

Argh!

The Blaze contest announcement has been officially pushed back to Oct 31! They claimed it was due to the number of entries, 285 in all. Quite frankly, I like those odds. I know a lot of people entered up to 5 manuscripts, and about two-thirds of all slush piles is unreadable crap. I figure I'm really up against about 100 entries, total.

But I can't spend the next two weeks agonizing over it.

Dear Santa, I have been a very good this year

And if you bring me a Dick Cheney Indictment, I'll never ask for anything again.

As the investigation into the leak of a CIA agent's name hurtles to an apparent conclusion, special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald has zeroed in on the role of Vice President Cheney's office, according to lawyers familiar with the case and government officials. The prosecutor has assembled evidence that suggests Cheney's long-standing tensions with the CIA contributed to the unmasking of operative Valerie Plame.

In grand jury sessions, including with New York Times reporter Judith Miller, Fitzgerald has pressed witnesses on what Cheney may have known about the effort to push back against ex-diplomat and Iraq war critic Joseph C. Wilson IV, including the leak of his wife's position at the CIA, Miller and others said. But Fitzgerald has focused more on the role of Cheney's top aides, including Chief of Staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, lawyers involved in the case said...

It is not clear whether Fitzgerald plans to charge anyone inside the Bush administration with a crime. But with the case reaching a climax -- administration officials are braced for possible indictments as early as this week-- it is increasingly clear that Cheney and his aides have been deeply enmeshed in events surrounding the Plame affair from the outset.

Oh please, oh please, oh please.
