Didn't make it to the food bank this morning, but I *did* get four bags of trash to the curb (they were pre-bagged, just awaiting tomorrow's trash day) before running off with Mb for a day of errands. The bad news: I didn't get to a phone during business hours to call the code officer about my yard.* The good news: Mb treated me to lunch at the ( Read more... )

strangevisitor7 has given me WORDS (which will be the third time I've done this one): Shoes, crack, silly, Plum, Partridge

Shoes -- Sadly, big feet are something I inherited from my Dad's side of the family along with height and blonde hair. By the time I was 8 years old, my feet were bigger than my mother's. So buying shoes is usually an unhappy experience, ( Read more... )

This morning, I signed up for yuletide. I did it three years ago, but the last couple of years, I was just NOT up for it. Missed the sign-up deadline last year, and the year before I'd just started my job and was going in six different directions without taking on anything else ( Read more... )

I was reading a news article earlier that alluded to "Easter, 1916", and as every writer knows, the oddest things can trigger ideas. (In this case, the juxtaposition of Yeats, the Irish rebellion and the circumstances present in the Equilibrium fandom.) Yes, I know I said I wasn't going to post anything until I'd completed "It Takes One". However, ( Read more... )

This morning, I parked my rump on my chair and transcribed "Fortune Cookie" from my notes from start to finish. Which is not to say it's *done*--no, I'll undoubtedly spend a week tweaking it--but all 1600 words are at least in electronic format and backed up ( Read more... )

Took the boots back after work and got some nice sandals. It's Florida; sandals are practical ten months out of the year (and the other two months consist of a few days at a time between November and April ( Read more... )

Another all-too-brief weekend concludes. Damned little to report, except that the zip on the @#$%ing boots broke, so I'll be taking them back to Payless with fire in my eye.

Watched Equilibrium again with director's commentary on...I'm noticing a lamentable tendency on the part of directors who write their own material to be better at directing ( Read more... )

I'm not quite done with the first part of my Equilibrium deleted scenes, but today I scrawled a hasty Part Two. (The kids, and what really happens after breakfast... I like those kids.) I've got to finish refining Part One, which introduces Charlotte. (Believe me, Charlotte was *not* my idea, daft as that sounds. I bloody channeled it from ( Read more... )

Slept until 8AM, woke and contemplated the CSC for a while. Got up and had a gigantic breakfast and gathered up all bags of cans and as may strays as I could and took them down to the recycling center. Huzzah! I've been putting that off for weeks. It netted a little over $11, at 42 cents per pound, which tells you that I've consumed an awful lot of ( Read more... )
