I took two days of off air time and when I come back I get over swamped with information. It seems that for the two days I have been missing too many updated their blogs. My blog tour only finished with all the blogs on Blogger, which leaves my LJ people for tomorrow. I never knew life could be so hectic and I am so stopping adding people on my blog roll. I love new acquaintances, but I am getting a bit overwhelmed with the data. Anyways if someone thinks I am not showing enough on their blog, simply know that I am reading, but can’t afford to comment.

So let’s move to my life. Thursday got me drained with the German graduation party since we all passed the special German exam and now carry the piece of paper stating we can speak almost as good as a German would. The day put me in panic mode since I had no formal clothing and had to mix a strange combo with weird clothes. This reminds me that with the money from my summer job I will update my closet. Of course Thursday and Friday had me in another aspect since I went to a beautician about the dark spots on my face and I died, since she squeezed them and shocked them with electricity. Ouch!

Friday I saw my friend photographer/artist/sword fighter Svetla and drank wine in the Sea Garden among nature. We chatted about projects and how she was going to play into a replay of an old swordfight over my home city Varna in the medieval ages and I am so going to watch. We decided to start a web comic together and possibly create the perfect idea for anime and then sell it to a Japanese company and see our baby developed. But those are just wild dreams like my grand computer game scheme.

Friday brought many new books as well. Almost full list with cover art on “Temple Library Reviews”:
~ “Black Magic Woman” by Justin Gustainis
~ “The Summoner” by Gail Z. Martin
~ “The Blood King” by Gail Z. Martin
~ “Spirit Gate” by Kate Elliot
~ “Witchember” by John Lawson
~ “Brida” by Paulo Coehlo

I made a new decision. I will write my novel on a journal and then during rewrites revert to the PC. I found writing by hand to be more fast, efficient and gripping. The same amount of words, 1K to be exact, written on hand takes faster and I barely notice pass. My thoughts have time to fully form and my hand keeps up with my brain and vice versa. The PC makes my eyes hurt and I get distracted easily by Google. Bad Google!! So I am on the hunt for new journals and made my friend Alex, that amazing gal, to bring me some from her dad’s firm as they have too many, but I am not sure, because they have salamis on their covers. Considering her dad works in the meat product business is the bad side.

I decided to enroll in two new reading challenges, which will make me die! I know, but I would love to read all those books! One is the Jane Austin challenge, which I can win easily since it involves at least two novels and the other is the Classics challenge, where I have to read six novels. And on a side note I am a member of the Geek Week. I am a nut when it comes to books so I wanna socialize with people with the same interests.

It has been one hell of a day to tell you the truth. Apart from the awful skin condition problem I have been experiencing, about which I am going to post tomorrow after another appointment with the dermatologist, things have been busy.

Much of the time today was invested into my new pet project “Temple Library Reviews”, which is as you guess it a reviewing blog. I am reading this year, way more than I have before and I love commenting and review blog sounded most natural to me to start. I also have my first review posted as a starting post. I also featured it at Urban Fantasy Writer’s group and Urban Fantasy Fan’s. The novel is “Unleashed” by Kristopher Reisz.

Today I also finished two interviews: one with Kristopher Reisz and the other with Jason Pinter. Of course soon I will post my interview with Jeaniene Frost as well and see who my next interrogation target will be.

In other news I scored almost maximum points on the geography exam and that gets me a full A anyways, so all is good. I think that means I don’t have to go to the actual and I get free time from geography.

Today I also happened to talk about a job opportunity at a jeep safari, but seeing how low and insecure the pay was and that I had to drive the jeep on hills and tough terrains as well as speak to the guests in German and English, I said may be and if you need me as a guide, no driver. Then he went on about how that means even lower pay and even more insecurity and how the business is new. At this point I was polite to say, to call me later, but there is no way I am saying yes to that. Young, not stupid, duh.

Quite frankly all of this, plus the skin condition, where my face is almost brown and feels like a sewn tight leather mask worries me even more. I am a bit fruitless on the writing front. Words struggle, so I let go and well I just type down from my journals to my PC.
