No Longer Taxing in April 2007

Fri 13 Apr
The final of the marathonic latterweeks has come on the this fifteenth time. My schedule over the final four days looks hectic, particularly Sunday, so the final grasp for peanuts runs well. After today, I've have more room to get decent sleep every other day.
My thoughts for books continue, especially when I hear songs from over three decades ago. There is just so much to face as the clouds of tax season dissipate.
The other issue remains with my learning capacity. I will need much of the time I receive back to solve the problem. I shall have to solve what I can over the next thirtyeight weeks. I've already signed for Everyone's Return as the only solution to the programs this summer/

Sun 15 Apr
A noreaster hit the area with enough rain to reduce our sparse clientele. Unfortunately today is not the final day for preparation.
On my mind remains Alex Rider: Stormbreaker. I first watched it in French with Spanish subtitles. Alex Pettyfer remains a blond cuty with freckles and cleft, although the plot has a questionable dénouement. Otherwise, the teenaged James Bond has the useable gadgets.

Mon 16 Apr Three hours left at Block
The criticism of "Stormbreaker" goes beyond the change of the critical character. How did this same character stop the car after shooting the driver? Later we see the BMW with the plates of RID3R with only bullet holes. The Portuguese man-o-war also was unbelievable in its ability to electrocute fish. They usually sting , which could kill a human.
Right before I went to work, it began to snow! I had a devil of a time trying to get here in fogged windows. I have the office to myself, and I tried to sleep on the floor without success. I suppose by the middle of the week, I'll switch back to normal after the noreaster leaves the area. Thereafter I'll begin to resolve all I've neglected for fifteen weeks.
Back to Alex Rider, I wonder what it would be like to get inside such a character: to think and feel what he thinks and feels as the story proceeds. Wouldn't it be fun to be a teenager again?

For the first time this year, I'll be going home after work on a Wednesday, Thrusday, and Friday. Now begins the reorientation. In addition, the dermatologist has placed me back on antibiotics. My internet has been down since Sunday, so I must correct that problem before I can move into other projects.

Fri 20 Apr
At long last, a free weekend approaches, with so much to do. I suppose it's best to take on task at a time.

Mon 23 APr
This weekend had a huge interruption on Sunday with five hours of hair cutting and restauranting. I did get my calendar for May started, after I bought new sheets. I updated my online diary, and this morning I was contemplating my latest mystery, the one I haven't finished since 1996.
I took a survey of the yard. Parts of the fence need cementing, the grass needs sowing in the back, we need plants back around the extention, and I must fence and plant my gardens. Of course, the groundhog has returned, the shed needs roofing and mildew proofing.
I also have several directions to go academically: copywriting, writing, enrolled agency, and ccertified accounting. I must make a list!

Random thoughts about Alex Rider:
The word that struck me in the bonus track on casting the character is "incredibly brave". Why would a fourteen-year-old be so brave? He's reluctant to get into imilitary intelleigence just as George Król is reluctant to get into detection. I also noted that the story gives only significant clues supposedly to keep it moving along \, which may not have been the case of Anthnoy Horowitz's book.

Thu 26 Apr
I return to Toastmasters today for the first time in the new year. I will also be at Barnes and Noble tonight, along with looking at computers at Best Buy.
Alex Rider reminded me of Frank Franklin., and I tried to write it two years ago without finishing it. I have down only about 2500 words, aiming for a novelette of thirty thousand words. Maybe Barnes and Noble has Alex Rider books.
