I totally forgot about Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. My hick university didn't actually give us the day off (although they are having free pizza and readings of his speeches in the student union all day) but that's a moot point for me since I overslept and now I've no hope of even making it to my second class on time. Tulsa public schools are closed, though, which means I don't have to start back at my internship site until Wednesday. So I just found myself with an extra day off. I can spend it doing all of the things I kept feeling guilty about not doing yesterday whilst camped out on the sofa watching my DVDs.

I found this out when I returned one of the many instistent phone messages my nephew left for me after I went to bed last night (and woke him up when I did. Ha!). They want to play at this year's Mayfest. I would imagine that it's already too late for that, but not too late to start trying to book them for next year. Probably also a good time to try to book them for this year's state fair. Also they handed out the press kits I gave them, so I need to do some follow-up calls today to make sure they all got to the right people. Though I'm a little miffed because instead of giving one to the very popular coffee house I'd marked it for they gave it to an over twenty-one club instead. Seems I need to sit them all down again and remind them that in Tulsa, those places won't hire bands in which the members are all *under* 21 and this is why we're targeting coffee houses instead of bars. Silly little boys.

But it looks like the better part of my day will be spent reading up on T. Robert Malthus (woo) and doing some of my Foundations of World Languages homework (hoo). Tonight is Monday night, though, which is dedicated to working on my novel. But hopefully at some point today I'll be able to work on DL 3.10. I only have two scenes left on that one, but they're both Glydia scenes and I'm having a hard time getting into a Glydia frame of mind. And I don't think anybody cares about Glydia anyway. Though I guess in a way that takes some of the pressure off and I can just have fun with them and not worry about meeting anyone's expectations.

Also writing back to Chad today (finally). And the first batch of DL CDs will get mailed tomorrow since I'm not going to town today.
