Back from the beach: I'm burnt, sore, and bitten, my car is filthy, my shoes smell like mud, I slept on the ground and ate junk for several days, and I feel great. An extremely good vacation.
I saw Batman Begins at home, with the brother and sister and future brother-in-law, and we agreed that while many of the individual parts were cool, it made no sense as a whole. We also decided that the Scarecrow was badly underused, and that Batman would basically squash Spiderman in a fair fight.
It's been several days since I wrote anything, so instead of unpacking last night I took my current project past 19k. I need 20k tonight to be on schedule, so I think I can make that easily if I write over lunch--and I'll still have time for laundry. It is ridiculous how often the choice comes down to "Daily Word Count" versus "Basic Life Necessities", and how often the Daily Word Count wins.
Ooh! And I got another hermit crab. It's been a while since the last one died. This one is a girl, per my own decree, and I always name them after sailors, but I'm having trouble coming up with a name...any suggestions? All I thought of was "Anne Bonney" and "Charlotte Doyle", and I prefer one-word names.
