Living the freelance lifestyle is a bit like living on an ever undulating roller coaster. One day, I wake up at 6, take V to work, and return to find an in-box filled with stories, fresh work, and new contacts. Other days, I take her in, then return to go to bed until noon.
This week has been a noon week. My editor at Cox is out of town, and it seems that my contacts at Wired, MobilePC, and CGW are all out of town. This means that all I can do is sit at home and follow up some leads, and work on the ever present East Bay Express stuff that is habitually arriving on my doorstep.
The winners for the Best of the Bay awards that I have to do are right now at 11 and holding. I bet I get some more on Monday, or possibly by the end of today. Though, I wouldn't expect Steven to be working that hard on a Friday.
But all these vacations and this lack of contact means that next week will be very busy for me. I envision Wednesday being a crazy day all around, and the subsequent week and a half being nothing but endless excitement. I should really write my collumn for Dig News today, since I probably won't get a chance next week. I don't really know what to do with it exactly. So far it's been a big ol' dance with the wonders of retro, further enforcing my absolute disolussionment with any game made after 1996. But it's got the potential to be so much more. I really like the idea of having a collumn, even if it is a free thing I'm writing for my own whistle tooting.
Anyway, this weekend, we are having an extended session of binary scanning at the ACCRC with the help of some other local geekwads. Hopefully it will be a blast. Ta Ta for now.
