The simmer who cried update.

So, I hope I don't make a liar of myself, but I really might post the next update in the next couple of days, or at least before the weekend is over. The second half of chapter 26 grew too large for a single livejournal post (no real surprise there - it seems like I do that all of the time lately), so I broke it roughly in half. The next section should be easy to complete, here and there.

Now if only my second job wasn't taking up all of my evenings. I'm an usher at the local theatre, which is great, but it gets extra busy in the summer. It's the season for theatre festivals, don't you know. I really can't complain, since it's the easiest, most entertaining job I've ever had (which is why I keep it in addition to my other job), but I'm working the same show for the next five evenings in a row. The SAME show. *snicker* I can either laugh or cry, so I may as well laugh. At least I'll get some quality thinking time. I've concocted many a Strangetown plot in that theatre. It provides just the right blend of mental stimulation (especially if it's musical) and creative boredom.

Yeah, that's right... creative boredom. I'll bet you didn't realize this hidden benefit to living in a tiny town, where nothing much happens.
