anotheranon | happy fourth!

I rise late in the morning to discover that the thunder is already booming - don't the weather faeries know that they're NOT supposed to make rain until sunset? Or at least, that's been the prevailing pattern....

Not sure how I'm going to spend the day. I was supposed to head out to

geekchick's for grilling and company, but D. is not feeling well, and given that I try to spend most major holidays with him, we're staying in.

I could do some more writing. I sat down and worked out two posts for one of my fic/writing lists, and realized how much I miss it. I think I've been busy with other things and just intimidated by the great work of others to really apply myself. I'm currently writing a bad guy - an insane bad guy :) Villians are fun to write, but I'm trying to make this one comical as well as evil, and I'm wondering how well I'll ultimately be able to carry that off (one of my co-conspirators had the character deploy Vogon poetry as an offensive weapon :D I wish I'd thought of that!)

I could also clean up the house some. The house is harboring some nefarious insect that has the gall to bite me on the face - mosquitoes back in my day never used to be so bold :P D. is getting chewed as well, so it's time to rout this "no-see-em" out of hiding.

Also still half-heartedly looking for the donut beads. They are somewhere in my creative swamp in the basement :P

On the book pile: Added to the stack of the Tudor book and the 2nd book of the Coldfire Trilogy are some books on conflict resolution and "The Salmon of Doubt". Also a book on the history of the golden age of piracy (arr!) but who knows when I'll get to it.

Luckily I have tomorrow off (oh, happy day!), because this would feel like a very short weekend otherwise :P
