Got some good work done editing the novel this morning. I’m not polishing at this point, but sanding down the rough edges. If my agent likes the book enough to suggest revisions, that’s the stage where I’ll really knuckle down and give it my best, but right now I just want to fix stuff and get it into presentable form.
Speaking of knuckles, I have regained the full range of motion in my index finger after scalding it about 18 days ago. Hurrah.
I was surprised by Ryan’s decision to trust Adam in Big Brother given what he said in earlier discussions. Sad to see Sharon go—she was the feistiest of the players, the most inoffensive (except when her voice went up into dog-whistle range), and the most honest, which was probably her downfall at the end.
NCIS was really good last night. I thought they were going to use it as an excuse to get rid of the director, but when they turned it around on Tony, that came as a surprise. And then Tony’s last moments with Jeanne, also fine writing. And McGee’s jury-rigged computer—priceless. It was an excellent showcase for all the characters as they met with the FBI guy.
