Last night before I went to bed, I ended up catching The Descent on television, which was a bad idea. Its a very well done horror movie but hooks into a lot of my fears of being trapped under water and underground. That scene in the first Pirates movie where Will Turner is trapped in the ship, that bothered me a huge amount. So I bought a romance novel that was on sale as an ebook and read it since one thing I really like about romance novels is they're shorter than others. It was helpful, The Devil's Delilah by Loretta Chase, there were some things I had issues with but overall I really liked it. The hero was bookish and the heroine was not terribly proper, which was a nice change of the normal tropes and its from Chase's backlist so I might investigate more of her stuff.
Either way, I finally fell asleep at the point where night was starting to turn into morning and woke up in the early afternoon. What sucks is I woke up sore, I've felt like I've been skirting the edges of being sick all week and I'm still doing it. Due to my school being odd, I have off until Thursday and plan on resting. I would also like to actually put stuff up on my walls and take some pictures of my place to post them.
One thing I'm doing during this break is trying to put together a semester status report for the head of school and I want to include some pictures I have on my camera. If I can upload all the pictures on it then I can finally do a proper picture post of this is where I live for everyone as well as this is where I work. Just before I do that, I want to actually hang things on the wall.
I feel like there was something else I was going to write about but now I've forgotten it. After work, I did some nice FicFriday stories and here they are.
For @yakalskovich
Charles/Erik -- animals
After a session in Cerebro, Charles always needed dark and quiet, Erik stopped by with Scotch, "Cheese for the lab rat." "Erik."
Moist -- strange plants
"You tell me that people will pay good money to smoke this plant? Why?" "Just try it and you'll see." "I'd rather watch another."
Demeter -- precious stones
Demeter never cared much for jewels, she admired their shine but would rather be gifted with flowers from the field than stone.
For @minkhollow42
Jane, hurdles to publication
"Jane, you musn't use your name. You know it won't look right." "Then I must be a lady though I will not keep hidden, father."
Moist, jumping to conclusions
At the cry of thief, Moist splattered ink on the check he was writing before listening to the discussion in the bank, not him.
Charles, long game
He began with papers at Oxford, then to parents and children teaching them all to see beyond the scary word of mutant to truth.
