Today I'm in full-office mode. I have a new external hard drive I'm about to set up -- finally I will back up my lap top! No more fears about losing works in progress. I also have a brand new printer/scanner/copy machine/fax machine thing to set up. I feel so... professional.

Speaking of professional (because everything you do in life is work when you're a writer), here's a picture Ric snapped of me at the recent launch party for Toast Magazine:

You can see Marissa in the background, sipping on her drink, and I think that's my sister's hand on a wine glass off to the right. A great time was had by all and everyone seemed to love the concept for the pocket-sized mag.

Now I need to get to uploading and downloading and all that fun stuff. Listening to the trickle of the fountain on my glass desk and Tori Amos singing softly from the speakers behind me, looking off into the distance at the skyline of downtown over the trees of Balboa Park... I have no complaints.
