Public Accountability

It's list time again. I wrote my English Words (aka etymology) exam last night and Historical Linguistics starts next Tuesday, and I have T-minus seven days to get some stuff done around here. It seems to help if I put this in a place where I can be shamed for not doing it -- this always works during Reading Week.

( Nothing to see here, move along... )

Thud: Short Story

The Googleable Man

Exercise: Vigorous cleaning of kitchens.
Mail: Nomail.
Other Writing-Related Work: Critses!
Darling du Jour: It's what I did because I did not fucking like these people, and that's why you don't put power in the hands of more than a few million people at a time. Because people may be stupid, but a person is a capricious fucking asshole.

I think I mussed the ending on this, but I'll fix it next draft.

And now to take one more thing off that list of mine, and to copious goofing off the rest of the night. :D
