Hilary Booth... of course!

My parents are coming up next week with tentative plans to attack the dread apartment. Those of my friends who know I cringe at the word "Clean Sweep" may mock and laugh and keep me in their prayers. Moving and cleaning are good ways to increase the family blood pressure. But I have been trying to make the place look halfway decent for when they get here, so we can point at the problem spots and know what to do. Theoretically. I cleaned quite a bit today. I reorganized a chunk of my music collection again, including putting covers/cds back in their cases. I love using those little plastic sleeves, which is fine, until your collection is impossible to keep track of! It's one of those days I'd wish for an Ipod of any stripe. I suspect I'm also doing this as Nano prep, since strangely, if I have some idea what the music style for the book is like, it's easier for me to write. I doubt I'll go the whole soundtrack route. Right now, the soundtrack has a very bizarre blend of swing, classical, oldies and modern stuff. Oh, I did post the tracks for the Nano mix cd I did last year, if you want to see how my associative brain works (or doesn't).

Finished the Homicide dvds. Bunnied by very unexpected character. Renewed my love for Baltimore. Both things may wind up in the Nano.

Yay Red Sox! Go Braves!
