I know it's been a long time since my last post. I've been so busy with wedding preparations, the actual wedding, and then moving into my new house and then the honeymoon that I haven't been posting. Who could blame me?
Anyway, I'm now Allison Boyer, working on getting that name legally changed. However, I will still use Allison K. Hymas as my professional writer name, so that will be the name that is on my books and websites.
For our honeymoon, Spencer and I roadtripped to Banff, Canada. It was my first time going there, and wow, it's beautiful. Such a great place for me to spend time with my new husband!
We both loved looking at the lakes, in particular. They're so blue!
Lake Louise. (That's Spencer in the sunglasses.)
Lake Moraine. And in this one, yes, the water looks like that. It's as blue as if it was dyed, but it's a natural effect of "rock flour" from the glaciers. The picture really doesn't do it justice, and it still looks like that.
And this is a cute little tearoom at the top of a hike near Lake Louise. We got an apple crumble to share and two lemonades.
I got a lot of other pictures, but they're taking forever to upload and these are some of the best, anyway. As for wedding pictures, I don't have them yet, but I'll share a couple as soon as I get them back from the photographer.
In other news, THE EXPLORER'S CODE is listed on Goodreads now, so if you want to keep an eye on its progress, you can look at it there!
Okay, so I promised you some nonsense. Like I said, we roadtripped, and when you put two nerds in a car for 15 hours to and fro, not even counting hours of driving around the parks, then things start to happen. Especially when one of you is a writer, you both enjoy Weird Al Yankovic, and you're going on a trip later this year to Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland. You start thinking of Disney songs and Star Wars and then...this happens.
So this is for all you Tangled and Obi-Wan Kenobi fans out there.
When Will The Fight Begin?
("When Will My Life Begin?" from Tangled)
Morning arrives, awake to a double sunrise.
Start on the chores and sweep ‘til the floor’s all clean,
Maintain my beard, do laundry, and gather supplies.
Life is bland in the sand here on Tatooine!
And so I’ll meditate, for maybe quite a while.
I’ll watch the Tusken Raiders—they walk single-file,
And then I’ll spar my shadow in Soresu style,
Just wonderin’ when will the fight begin?
Then after lunch of blue milk and bantha jerky
I’ll stick around, safe on my high ground, alone.
Visit my memories, though they are getting murky,
Though I’ve yet to forget all my time with the clones.
I lost another robe; good thing I have a spare.
I’ll plan my duel with Maul—sure he’s alive somewhere.
And then I’ll practice greeting droids with, “Hello, there.”
Stuck in this desert since Anakin…
(ahem)
And I’ll be wonderin’, and wonderin’, and wonderin’, and wonderin’, when will my fight begin?
I watch the boy down on his farm,
Make sure that Luke won’t come to any harm.
One day he might rebalance the Force.
When he is older, I will set him on that course.
So, yes. Pictures and nonsense. There may be a few more Disney/Star Wars parodies coming around the bend...it was a LONG drive. So, enjoy, and I'll see you again next week!
