Random Thoughts: The Small Updates Edition

1. I finally finished Season 3 of Sons of Anarchy, and thank goodness. This season of the show was *really* a slog. Tara and Jackson’s whole will-they-or-won’t-they; Tara’s whole will-she-or-won’t-she (nice touch at the clinic: Opie’s girl uses the name Sarah Palin); and the awful, terrible, no good Belfast storyline. Subtitle: “Where’s my boy?” Gah!

Neat season finale though. Nicely tied up all the loose ends.

Onto Season 4!

2. I downloaded a Wally Lamb book (We Are Like Water) to read — and I can’t get into it. And I love Wally Lamb; I’ve read just about everything he’s published. But I just can’t penetrate this one. Maybe I need a hard copy rather than an e-book.

I am also somewhat distracted from Lamb because I’ve discovered Liane Moriarty. I finished Big, Little Lies recently, and I’ve already downloaded The Husband’s Secret. New author! Yay!

Also see: SOA.

3. While I am still looking for a new job (and thank you to everyone who has sent me leads), I would like to report on something my employer has done right. I requested to work from home one day a week, and starting April 1, I will be doing just that. Huge relief. I will have one day a week to concentrate on major writing projects or metadata without dealing with the open office environment.

It’s pretty huge. Yay, employer!
