Thud: Sugar

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:

[livejournal.com profile] cristalia (11:56:07 PM): It is good for me that WWI veterans were all into poetry and not, say, peggle.
[livejournal.com profile] matociquala (11:56:59 PM): heee
[livejournal.com profile] matociquala (11:57:10 PM): I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by popcap.
[livejournal.com profile] 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.

This nattering sounds interesting. If you do filter, etc...

And thanks for the craft show reminder. I'm conflicted about going myself. Fears of potential looks of disappointment at what may be a low turnout this year. How was it?

It was okay. Themes this year seem to be hats, wooden cutting boards that are all the same, and mugs. We didn't buy a lot; most of the things we actually really liked were much too expensive to like.
