Parents Home Early!

To my great surprise, but apparently their vacation was such a bust (bad weather, nothing much to do, hotel room sprung a leak -- no, seriously) that they decided to cut it short and just go to the beach tomorrow. Weather's supposed to be good for it, so hopefully they'll have a nice day. Me, I just hope work is slightly less frustrating than today. There always seems to be another mistake to fix lately, and following up on one reveals two or three more. . . *sigh* At least it keeps me busy. Just gotta hang on for tomorrow and half of Friday. . .

Still working on Chapter 5 of "In The Land of the Dead" -- improving on Lizzie and Bonejangles's first conversation. It gets a little snarkier, and BJ drops a surprise revelation that he was halfway through Pride and Prejudice when he died. Good times! I intend to take full advantage of the long weekend to get that finished up and start on Chapter 6 so I can keep up my streak of weekly updates. Fingers crossed!

In other news, new DragonVale event pending -- the Arcane Pentournament! It's basically five "schools" of magic, each representing two elements, coming together to have a friendly battle. You can "join" a school to get a mascot dragon and I think special decorations for your park? I'll be able to explain better tomorrow when it actually starts and I join the House of the Hidden Bolt -- aka the Halloween/Whitbee house, because I am always down for Halloween. It looks fun so far, and I hope it stays that way. We'll see!

And with most stuff queued or answered, it's time for me to hit the sheets, methinks. Night all!
