May 8, 2008 Progress Notes:

Above

Words today: 550.
Words total: 33,550 MS Word.
Reason for stopping:

ksumnersmith came to have pie with me! Whee!
Liquid Refreshment: Bailey's coffee.
Munchies: Pie! Well, actually cake. Which is like pie.

Darling du Jour: She looks down at me, arms crossed across her chest, normal and regular brown and ten fingers ten toes eyes nose ears. One of those hands flicks down; I feel it pass over the scales on my back, touch them, and I dare look up long enough to see her mouth open a little in fear.
Fear and wonder.

Words Matthew Won't Admit to Knowing: I think he was having a problem with roughened. We went with marred-rough instead, which is actually a better textural description of the thing.
Mean Things: Evil asylum, which never ends let me tell you. The darling's actually from write-ahead. I feel it's mean to me to make me slog through this scene without nipping out back for some better bits.
Research Roundup: N/A.
Books in progress: Robert Charles Wilson, Bios.
The glamour: Exam from hell. That was all the glamour I needed. :p

Pie was good.

I feel interestingly about the whole birthday thing this year. I mean, obviously, I am not particularly inclined to make a fuss about it, and I'm not entirely sure why? Usually my birthday comes with a few little rituals, a taking stock of sorts at the very least. It's my Annual General Meeting. Thing is, my life is very much in a state of flux right now, and I suspect that has something to do with it: it seems weird to hold to arbitrary milestones that way when my life is already completely transforming, will be completely transformed by September at the latest. I have been holding Annual General Meeting all the time since about February. This company is repurposing. ~~We will no longer make weapons, just Iron Man suits.~~

Either way, hello Leah at 26. Yes, I know you don't feel half old enough to be 26.

May we surprise each other in all the good ways.
