Snip: Above, Today's Whimsy

August 14, 2008 Progress Notes:

Above

Pages today: 22.
Pages total: 131/264.

131 / 264 (49.6%)

Reason for stopping: It was time to go thesandtiger's for dolphin__girl's going-away party. At which a good time was had by all.

Munchies: Party snacks.
Books in progress: Holly Phillips, The Engine's Child.
The glamour: One of the side effects of working in an office is that I am so overpeopled I can't even listen to music right now, because it's a human voice and thus screws with my focus something fierce.

Half a revision. Hunkered down in an overpriced cafe with some sweet potato fries after work and before the party, and got a big chunk of Chapter Six tomorrow. Hopefully I will have enough brain to finish the chapter on the subway tomorrow.

The pages look like a violet pen died a messy death all over them.

Tonight's bit of whimsy: I subscribe to a Freecycle list, on the rationale that someday soon I'm going to get rid of a few things (and it doesn't hurt to see what others have), and the first heading on it tonight was: Wanted: Oracle.

Sadly, it was about software. I may choose to believe otherwise.

Good, I'm not the only one. I thought I was crazy. (Still might be, but at least I'm in good company.)

It takes some pretty consistent Having To Be On to get me there, but it happens. Cons do it to me for about two days afterwards if I don't take frequent quiet breaks.

I got it back enough to get through e-mail by turning all the lights off and just working in the dark. Maybe I'll unplug the phone this weekend. :p
