Miss J snapped this pic the other morning with her Crackberry. It's rare to see clouds like this in SoCal, especially in the summer so their puffy loveliness caught her attention.
Miss J realizes she has been woefully inattentive to this blog for the past couple weeks. She hasn't really even been visiting the blogs of her interweb friends very much... a little lurking but rarely even commenting... busy-ness is part of it, the other part- just not feelin' it. Miss J's mind has been occupied with other things... the whole agent thing, Mama Janey's visit, new headshots, rehearsal, opening Season 3 of Avalon Terrace and finishing her novel, Miss Janey's Jewels. See, she promised Mr. J she'd finish it by June and by that she means yesterday. Which she did not manage to do. In fact, each time she attempts editing, the damn thing just gets longer.
The ever-supportive Mr. J is so convinced that Jewels is Miss J's ticket to freedom (from the day job), that he has used every type of bargaining possible to entice its completion. "New headshots" but only after the book is done. (Miss J's new agents subverted that, thank ya very much.) "New bed" when the book is done... You get the picture, darlings. Maybe the reason Miss J hasn't finished it is good, old-fashioned fear. What if she finishes the book and no one wants it and she is STILL stuck at her day job? Even though this is not the worst thing that could happen in the universe, it would suck mightily. And with sharp teeth.
Thus while others are off barbecuing and boozing this weekend, Miss J hopes to be locked inside FINISHING HER DAMN BOOK! At least she won't get sunburned.
Happy Independence Day, ya'll.
BTW, doesn't Miss J look like an assassin here? You know, the ol' one last kill before retirement hired killer but our hardened lady assassin develops a heart when she dicovers her target is a child so she has to lam it with the kid while a whole crew of buff dude assassins is trying to track her down? Miss J's excellent photographer Matthew Scott Drake also said, "You totally look like a New York power lesbian..." Either way, Miss J can play that.

What a beautiful moanin’
I'm stealing this for my blog. You can then post an indignant tirade about the whole tawdry affair. That way we'll get three posts out of one charming picture. Brilliant, huh?
Beautiful sky!
The sky has been lovely lately, hasn't it? particularly at sun up and sundown...
lovely!
You, sky...both.
New York Power Lesbian really works. :)
Lovely pictures, both! Do finish the book, I would happily buy a copy. Go for the dream, Miss J!!
I hear New York power lesbians are going to be All The Thing this season.
Puffy Loveliness. What a great porn star name!
I'm a little bit scared of Miss J. in that photo. :)
So what if you finish the book and no one wants it and you're stuck at your day job? Is that better than never finishing the book and wondering the rest of your life if you'd have written a best seller?
