November 29, 2008 Progress Notes:
"Sugar"
Words today: 550.
Words total: 3500.
Reason for stopping: It's late. Again.
Books in progress: Vernor Vinge, A Fire Upon the Deep; Robert Graves, The Long Week-end.
The glamour: Worked a signing at the bookstore, promptly introvert-fitted, and came home.
Reading for The Enchanted Generation continues apace. I spent a good chunk of last night and some of tonight reading buckets of WWI poetry to pick out epigraphs for each section, and have, I think, more than I can actually use. There is a terrible embarrasment of riches there, which is just serving to further convince me that WWI was actually the Worst War Ever. In summary:
cristalia (11:56:07 PM): It is good for me that WWI veterans were all into poetry and not, say, peggle.
matociquala (11:56:59 PM): heee
matociquala (11:57:10 PM): I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by popcap.
cristalia (11:58:33 PM): (bloated hysterical naked, wedging themselves in their office chairs at dawn, looking for an angry fix)
I may actually make a filter on which to babble about my TEG research stuff. If that happens and you care to hear me natter on upon said filter, speak now.
And tomorrow is the annual trip to the craft show, so I am crawling off to bed.
