Y, hello thar, monthly visitor.

Four days early.

NOT COOL.

At this point, I don't have a headache or a backache, but I do feel somewhat bloated. This may be a function of the three extra pounds I still haven't taken off from Moab, however. FEH.

In other news, I checked my local theater to see if we were getting a midnight showing of "Wolverine."

We are.

Of course, the Hubby has a three-day trip that starts on the 29th and doesn't get him back in town until the 1st, so I can't go. Getting a babysitter for a midnight movie on a school night would be...problematic. To say the least.

Yeah, I'm hosed. I'm hosed, and I'm a terrible person, and my period is four days early.

Someone just shoot me.

At least we're going to get to see "The Soloist" this weekend.

And today is apparently the day...

We lose our view from the back yard. What there is of it.

As some of you know, the Utah Transit Authority, in its infinite wisdom (why, yes, that's sarcasm you detect), had decreed that a TRAX light rail line is going to run on the existing train track behind our house. This involves the installation of a sound wall. Which is going up right now.

I don't know whether to be glad to finally be insulated from the insanity of the Reception Center across the street, which the police get called to on a regular basis, or lament the fact that the view out my back window for the rest of my life is going to consist of a flat, gray, 20-foot-high, concrete wall.

Feh.

So, I've been flailing around...

with post-novel ennui, trying to figure out what the Next Thing is going to be.

And now I have it.

It's a new adventure for not!Harry, not!Harmony, and not!Perry, with just cameos (I think) for not!Tony and not!Pepper.

But not!Tony makes a remark that the penal system isn't set up for a werewolf who commits attempted murder and industrial espionage, so there's really no legal way to punish the Bad Guy for what he's done.

That he knows of.

Little does not!Tony know, such a system exists. Of course it does; it would have to. So, what we have here is "Escape from New York" with vampires and werewolves.

And sometimes, they pick up the wrong werewolf or vampire. Like, for example, not!Harry.

And then wackiness, as they say, ensues. Not the fun kind. The horrifying kind. Remember what I did to him in the last one? Yeah, that ain't a patch on this. Apropos icon is apropos.

Now, I have no idea how long this is going to be or where it will ultimately go, but I'm sure it'll be an interesting ride getting there. Who's with me?
