Miserable Marketing

Marketing was a big focus for me today, an area which I am distinctly uncomfortable in. Working up to my adults drama class which will start, if it flies, on the 29th of May. Around 3:00 I was talking to the people at the province-wide newspaper about a classified add, and spent a good deal of time earlier on trying to contact a Rotary Club president. Now that doesn't sound like a hang of a lot of work, however - it's never that simple is it. It was a battle for the phone for most of the day between myself and Mom, who's trying to organise her and Dads upcoming Figi and U.S. trips. Unfortunately in such a battle I'm outranked by default, so things happened a little slower than I might've liked.

On a slightly brighter note: I got the Narnia soundtrack for my birthday yesterday - or so everyone thought. That is, until I read the little words under the lions head: music inspired by . . . ah shoot. So today I tripped down to the CD store to see if I could exchange it for the soundtrack. Turns out that they don't have the soundtrack instore in fact they don't even have the inspired by disc on their system so that shouldn't even be there but the soundtrack is on their system though there's not a single copy in the whole store. Whew. Upshot is that they'll order one in for me and then I can make the exchange.
Another non-marketing highlight to the day was getting Unfortunate Events books 6,7,8 from the library. The only downside is I haven't read 5. Hmm. I may be becoming a junkie. (We wants the book! Yes precious, but the tricksy librarianses won't give it to us. Then we takes it. Err, but all the copieses were marked 'Checked Out', my love. Ashes and dust! We'd forgotten about that.)

And I've got how many other books I am/should be reading? I think I like books.
