Cracked a piece of broken glass--

July 26, 2009 Progress Notes:

Saturnalia

Words today: 400.
Words total: 4200.
Reason for stopping: Oops. One in the morning again.

Munchies: Nachos, which was probably a waste of good Balderson cheddar, but eh.

Darling du Jour: The mirror was still cracked. He glanced at his quartered face just in passing; a funhouse thing rough and long-jawed and two days overdue for a shave. He'd got too old for the habit of watching himself before noon.

Things Yet to Cough Up Their Names: Some club two levels up; its owner, who apparently owes Zeke precisely two favours; the band name Zeke and Gregory have been gigging under.
Mean Things: The beginnings of an attempt to deal with Narrative Prophecy in a rational, practical manner. This isn't going to go well.
Research Roundup: Meth, some reference photos for Zeke and Kaira.
Books in progress: China Mieville, The City and the City.
The glamour: Family brunch this morning, followed by a work session with bunnyhero et al at the Starbucks, wherein I did some consistency checking on Above and wrenched a scene back into true. I have about two more things to check there before handing back that revision.

Perils of Writing Junkies, subpoint #235823: they will sometimes earworm you with songs you haven't heard in twelve years and yet remember all the lyrics to, just because the chorus involves the phrase "speed freak". And then you have to find the song.

I don't have much tonight; mostly thinking ahead. The stories for my Worldcon writing workshop section are in, and I have to look those over this week and apply crit-fu to them, as well as keep on keeping on in the quest to fill the hole in the September Ideomancer TOC, which is becoming pretty critical. And there's the matter of a Shadow Unit DVD extra. And I'm doing my first stint committee reporting at The Dayjob this week. And the con's in a little under a week and a half.

Eek.

Lists will be made until morale improves.

I'm too lazy to go find the correct post so will answer here.

I asked my sister the knitter about crochet. She said she used to crochet somtimes but gave it up because she is left handed and while she can knit left handed she couldn't crochet left handed. But she acknowledged that among some in the knitting community, crocheting is seen as of a somewhat lower order (she doesn't see it that way, tho).

(That album's been on my iPod in heavy rotation lately, for no particular reason.)
