I meant to be asleep by now...

Well, I did. An hour ago, actually....But that seems early for me..even now does

My Life:
Went up to the mountains today. There were four workers and a supervisor there. We were supposed to take a group shot, apparently, and forgot. Luckily, the team comes back to the office where we work after they're done for the day. Well, they don't work Fridays and Monday is considered a holiday, so we'll have to wait to get the group shot until Tuesday. Anyway, much of this might not even make sense to you readers since I have to keep things vague for privacy. So, rode in a car for 20 minutes, rode in the back of a truck for 40 minutes, then hiked another 20 minutes to get to the crew. And they do that four days a week! Did I mention that was one way, so we had to do it twice? Well, that took a good portion of the day. Got a little sunburned as well.


Wicked:
My Wicked Calendar I got for Christmas this last year. Oh, speaking of which, today is the first of July, so I should change it. Anyway, my friend decided to surprise me with a Wicked calendar, which I LOVE! I totally wasn't expecting a gift from her at all, yet a big flat package arrived after Christmas. It may have already been January, actually. Well, after unwrapping several layers of wrapping paper (it was bordering ridiculous amounts of wrapping), there it was! There is a picture below, Google for more images I suppose.

Car trouble and Wicked books

My Life:
Today at work, the car broke down. Yep. We were roughly 40 minutes to an hour from our office. We had finished our interviews for the day and stopped off at Wendy's to eat. One in our party had never been there. We had nearly finished, and one of the team went out to the car to cool it down for the four of us. It wouldn't start. I think the engine was turning over, or something like that since I'm not familiar with cars, so whatever was happening when he turned the key meant that the problem wasn't a dead battery. I and another had come to wait in the car for the last of our band, and that's when we found out we were in a little trouble. We were sent to go wait back inside, while our supervisor made a call. We had someone bringing us another vehicle, we were told. The people we were working with for the interviews up there came and got us and took us back to their office, where we had met that morning. Myself and my two fellow employees played cards for a little bit. Then I suggested we walk over to Hastings, which was next door. The replacement car wouldn't be there for another 30 minutes or so, we were told, so we went over and hung out in a more amusing place than the office. The car came a little early, and then it was back to the office to unload our equipment and load our cameras and voice recorder onto the computers. We only had half an hour of work time left once we got back, but that's how it goes. Tomorrow we're going hiking, locally though, to interview some of the people who are working clearing trails and things. More on that tomorrow.


Wicked:
I saw A Lion Among Men at the Hastings today. It was on sale, I forget for how much, but it was a good price and I would have bought it, had I not already owned a copy. I think it was under $5 though.
While we're on the subject, how about how I got A Lion Among Men. I got it at the same time as Son Of A Witch, and since I haven't told about either, here goes.
It was Christmas of 2008. My family decided to get me both of the books, in order to complete the collection since I already had Wicked. Heh, I guess that's all there is to it. I got the new cover on Son Of A Witch, the one that looks like it's the same style as the Wicked the Musical logo (which is also one version of the cover for the book). I don't think A Lion Among Men has gotten a new logo yet. So far as I know it hasn't had a soft cover printing that I recall.

New book in "The Wicked Years" series

My Life:
Today work was rather uneventful. We traveled once again, but to a different city than last week.
In other news, I am missing Eclipse! Yes, I am a little sad about that. I guess I was too busy with things and just forgot. I have a DVD project I'm working on, another upcoming project once I get the footage, and I just started working. By the time I realized that Eclipse was less than a week away, my friend who I've gone with for the past two years had already made plans, and the theater was sold out.
Haha, funny thing, friend just texted and said, "I miss you. When I get back we have to go see this movie together". Aw!


Wicked:
Well, since I JUST found out some information (literally, I just clicked over to look at a different page and there it was), I guess that's what the Wicked part of today's post will be about!
Gregory Maguire is writing a fourth book in the The Wicked Years (as I just found out is the proper title) series, currently titled Out of Oz. Ooooh, apparently the fourth book has the focus on Glinda!

"I've decided to make you my new project!"
