Has been a total rollercoaster.
Art summer sessions: Very good. ((Technically week before but hey ho)).
Music summer sessions: good but very much hard work.
Working with Lesley again: great.
Seeing studio well sorted: massively good. Well done that Nick you did what others could not and would not.
AQA, awarding body for A levels: words cannot express how cross with them I am. Murderous does NOT cover it.
College: support = poor.
Books:
Book 5 (Did You Know) - at print now for digital release Aug 26. Woot. All agreed and seems to be being well received which is positive.
Book 6: (Mess). At designers being laid out for Oct 16th launch. Very WOOT.
Book 7: (Dr Sylver 3) going to soft print (review copies) tomorrow morn. Massive WOOT, especially as I managed to get some cool reviews sorted and fixed the one remaining plot hole that's been bugging me for weeks this very night. Release: Oct 31st. I'm still on the cadge for notable reviewers but so far the work is paying off better than it did last year that's for sure. So far anyhow.
Launch parties? Oh yes. Watch this space. They may be gigs :) :) Would be cool if we can get that sorted.
Apart from that I don't know whether I want to laugh, cry, kill people or smile this week. I have done three of the four things on the list and the fourth was certainly on my mind...
Also: my daughter's lampshade fell on her head today (paper one, disaster averted). Is it a sign? Is the sky falling?
Also also my wife just asked me if I'd seen the Orangina advert and I said I hadn't. ((Like I have time to watch tv for a start)). Then she described it to me and I said I thought I'd seen the work of the artist and she looked at me as if I were a complete sicko. Have now seen the ad online and yes, it was the artist I was thinking about (although I can't remember for the life of me where I saw that work in the first place...) Should I be worried about that? Don't really want to talk about the ad as that's what the company want and since when have the Coca Cola company been the bastions of good taste?
Also also also: had some wasabi coated dried peas today. Total Yum.
Currently listening to: Quench: Reality Radio. Just released on iTunes and a TOTAL CORKER... Currently playing: Hohohohohohoooooo. Space Invaders Extreme, when the time allows. Currently working on: Three books back to backto back... Nearly done now and then I can sleeeeeeppppp... And then it's back to college on Sept 2. :(
