I Am D.E.A.D.
I am dead-tired today. I've had one too many days of shaving off a half-hour or hour of sleep and thinking that it won't matter. By the afternoon, my motor control was beginning to decline. I crashed my hip--not the bad one, fortunately--into the doorframe trying to walk into Johnny's office. Luckily, we both found it amusing.
I'm really writing because I wanted to report on Bobby's first game as a Baltimore Piranha on Sunday night. Firstly, they won 5 to 3 against the Dullblades. (Which sounds waaaay too much like "Duskblades" for me not to resist making D&D jokes!)
What?! Bobby's team actually won a hockey game?? Well, they're not called "Your Team Name Here"....
So how did Bobby do? Well, he scored two goals and one assist, so pretty damned well.
The first goal was actually his; he made it look effortless, and Potter and I were whooping and hollering. He shook his stick at us. He played a great game, and his wife is very proud of him. :)
Meanwhile, my research for my essay on Elves and fading is coming along. I'm through HoMe IX, so three volumes yet to go plus the books. Well, I should say that I'm finished surveying those volumes and compiling quotes in three entries worth of posts. I haven't read the relevant sections yet, but I figure that's what my State job is for.
Then it will be written. Then it will be finished. See how eloquent I am tonight?
But the issue is far more complicated than I'd realized before, and the two sides that I find tugging at my loyalties kind of simplify it too much, I am realizing. But that is why I am doing this research; because I was tired of taking other people's word for it and wanted to have my own informed opinion. So far, it's been a lot of fun to read how a particular idea evolved over the course of many years.
The lovely Nelyo icon that Rhapsody made me is officially my little research gofer. He's now the official mascot of Dawn's research posts for this project.
I had forgotten how much I loved nonfiction, incidentally. It used to be that I thought of myself as a better writer of persuasive and nonfiction pieces and merely meh at fiction. I'm not quite sure when my priorities switched.
Could this post get any more random? Well, yes. So I think I'll stop now, before it gets too much more crazy.
