Thursday morning: Few and far between . . .

1. I am giggly-happy to welcome two new folks to the Liamverse this morning. We are joined by dagmarhalvdan and an_sceal.

Please make them feel welcome. Or mock them. As you wish. ;)

2. Life continues, as my wife would say, apace. I am working on a wide variety of things, and that means the traditional LJ updates are lagging. I think it's been 11 days since I have gone Liam-Style.

3. If you want to keep up with me, please check out my two blogs.

I am writing about my job-hunting experience at "Working Press" and catching up on a lot of unwritten posts at "Short Pours."

4. Boosting the Signal: Is there anyone from the Montreal area who will be at Kingdom A&S this weekend and can bring something back? Please drop me a line.

5.; I find myself still listening to CBC Radio from Vancouver, even though the Olympics are over.

6. The good news is that it's basketball playoff season up here. Tonight will be my third game in a row. I don't think there's anything tomorrow, but I have hockey Saturday, basketball Sunday and then we look into next week. It will be really busy over the last two weekends of March. The Civic Center up here hosts the state public school and Federation tournaments. The local paper has been being really good to me, giving me games to do, and I should be able to work for some out-of-town papers, too.

7. There are two new books out that I highly recommend.

Seanan McGuire's "A Local Habitation," hit the streets this week. You need it. It's the second book in the series that started with "Rosemary and Rue."


Also, Robert Conroy does a wicked cool series of alternate military history books, and his latest -- "Red Inferno 1945" -- is out. I have not read it yet, but you can trust me on this.

Actually getting some writing accomplished . . .

It's been a good day today.

I have been focusing on writing, and I not only got a Liam-Style post up, I also got new posts up at "Working Press," and "Short Pours." One of the "Short Pours" posts is the Guinness Beef and Cheese Soup frombytchearse. Please go check them out and pass the links on if you like them.

Did a bunch of drilling at LinkedIn. I am over there as "Bill Toscano." Add me there if you would like.

Found some job leads and got working on some letters I need to send out.

Also packed laundry and did the dishes.

I need to take out the trash and do the grocery shopping. I have a basketball game to cover later this evening, and I am covering hockey Saturday.

I have covered games the last two nights. High school basketball playoff season is very busy up here. Here's the story from Tuesday night, and here's the one from Wednesday night.
