January 2, 2010 Progress Notes:

"The Closet Monster"

Words today: 1000.
Words total: 3700.
Reason for stopping: Nice round number, and I'm surprised I got it. I was honestly only hoping for 200 or so tonight.

Books in progress: Margo Lanagan, Black Juice.
The glamour: There's an extreme cold weather alert on in the city today, so I stayed in and puttered around the house instead. As a result, I have clean towels. Warm, fuzzy, clean towels. Also, I got sushi for dinner, but that's less something to gloat about and more a failure of resolve.


The Shadow Unit kids are such happy workers. I forget sometimes how ready they are to go out and get shit done, no matter what music I have on or how much plot we have to burn. Also, I remembered that unlike with "Sugar", I have no plans to write a freaking novella-almost-novel this time, and so people can just figure things out. Quickly. Without having to muddle. So there. First solid writing night in a couple months.

In other news, it is freaking freezing in here despite me having the heat up, because my cheapass landlord has not yet fixed the badly-hung balcony door, so I am going to knit in hopes that it will warm my hands up and watch an episode of Full Metal Challenge, which [livejournal.com profile] delta_november and [livejournal.com profile] jo_etal told me about and which features Henry Rollins and cars doing Robot Wars-like things, before I go to bed. Maybe Hank will rub off on me a little and I will cure cancer in my dreams tonight.
From today's Toronto Star:

The hard driving, florid-faced Sam McBride (1928–29 and 1936) was a swaggering, two-fisted, red-blooded mayor who would beat up councillors he didn't like. McBride would knock aldermen around the council chamber, or pin them up against walls, even swat them with sheaves of documents.


...two-fisted mayor.

I will buy a whole pitcher for the person who draws me a Sam McBride: Two-Fisted Mayor comic.
