Even a broken clock is right twice a day, they say. I don’t know why I repeat that old adage. It has nothing to do with today’s post. Not much, anyway. I realized this week that I seem to have decided to stop wearing a watch. It wasn’t a conscious decision. I just didn’t put mine one before I went to work one morning. It’s a little redundant, since I have a clock on the face of my cell phone, though there are additional steps involved. Take the phone out of my pocket. Click the button. We’ll see.
I got bitten by the time change last weekend. I was diligent about resetting every clock I could think of. The one I missed was the one on my desk at work. Didn’t think about it when I went to work on Monday morning. I thought the morning flew past faster than ever. I ate my lunch at the “usual time,” except I realized a couple of hours later that I’d actually eaten an hour early. Oh, well. No harm done.
Twitter is fun. I tweeted about the new Dark Score Stories site promoting Bag of Bones on A&E and someone replied saying that they had used my books a lot during their photo shoot. Turns out the guy is with the marketing agency that is working on the project. You just never know where your tweets will end up.
I’m off to Dallas tomorrow to the VIP reception for Stephen King prior to his appearance at the Majestic Theater. It’s a fundraiser for the the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza. Should be fun. Even though Dallas is close (200 miles is close in Texas), I’ve only been to the city twice, both times for Peter Straub signings, so I don’t know it at all. I’ve been through DFW a bunch of times (though not for several years). I plan to do a little sightseeing when I’m up there this time.
I deleted Two and a Half Men from the DVR. It’s still funny on occasion but I seem to have lost patience with it. Still digging American Horror Story and shaking my head with what’s going on with Clay on Sons of Anarchy. I haven’t seen all of last night’s episode, but it’s hard to imagine how they’re going to remediate his character. He’s burning bridges left and right. The Walking Dead is spinning its wheels. The zombie in the well was a neat effect, but took up a lot of screen time for little benefit. And how long is that little girl going to be missing? I know things have to change when they find her (back on the road again?), assuming they find her, but it’s beginning to strain credibility, and patience.
