( Somewhere A Clock Is Ticking )

FEEDBACK: Always appreciated. *g*

I wrote about three thousand words today, which makes me happy. I'm still nowhere near on the perfect track, but I'm not so frustrated with myself or my writing or the world. This has been a good month for me in that way. I'm making discoveries about when and how I write best and all that.

I probably would have written anouther thousand words or so today, but I've just discovered that one of my new guppies has had babies. (I knew she was pregnant from the size of her belly.) The little tykes are so cute and tiny and distracting. I keep on going back over to see how many therea re and where they're hiding and everything. I'm excited to see them grow. Yay for guppies :)

Now it's Saturday, though, and it's a new day to write another batch of words. Hoping to cross the 20K line. Woot!

So out of pure boredom tonight I ended up watching SGA.  Which was surprisingly good, kinda a shock after what was done to the show in my opinion.

Oh, yeah. This book count thing is totally pathetic this year. I mean, 30 was a poor enough turnout last year, but this...wow. I'm almost too embarrassed to post these anymore.


But I still will.

Taking a bus from Seattle to Missoula gives you lots of time for reading.

I finished Tehanu which is the last of the Earthsea books by Ursula K. LeGuin. It was...good. Different than the others definitely. It had the same characters and setting, but it was less connected to the issues of the previous books. It wasn't as intense, though there were suspenseful/actiony moments. And I felt like what was set up as the main issue of the book wasn't really resolved by the end, but the characters' stories were wrapped up so nicely, I almost didn't care.

Bottom line? It was written seventeen years after its direct prequel and it kind of shows.

The other book I finished was Search for the Red Dragon by James A. Owen. Remember him? He wrote Here, There Be Dragons. I read it on my way to Boston.

I liked the first book, I really did, but this one was just so much better. Part of why it was better has a lot to do with something that was revealed at the end of the first book, so I'm going to post this review-ish thing in two parts.

This is the non-spoilery part:

One of the biggest reasons for me liking this book better, I think, was that it didn't share the problem the first book had with being unsuccessful in its attempts to fool the reader. I was genuinely surprised by all of the twists, but not in a way that made me wonder where on earth that had come from. Okay, there was one twist that left me feeling a little like I'd been played, but I suspect it will work itself out in the next book, so I can forgive him for that.


And then the spoilery part:

( Spoilery for the first book, not the second one )

So, yes. Good book, and I definitely recommend it, but be sure to read the first book...er...first.





And for anyone wondering, taking the bus is not so terribly bad. And as we were coming into Missoula, the moon was...possibly the most perfect moon I have ever seen. It was big, but not enormous, and almost perfectly round, and it looked like it was just a disc of light, stuck up in the sky. Like if we just drove a little further, we'd pass it and see the sliver of its profile and then the backside of it as we drove on.

I know what it was like. It was like that bit in American Gods where that character whose name I can't currently remember, does coin tricks with the moon and gives it to Shadow.

It was like that.

Once again, no cable at Casa Kitty. So I must rely on the kindness of others to let me tape off their cable, and watch episodes a week after everyone else. Of course, I still read everyone's comments when the episodes air, anyway... :P

Anyway, when we last left our Intrepid Heroes, Sheppard, Ronon, McKay, Lorne and a bunch of redshirts were searching for Teyla when MIchael's booby-trapped hideout had just collapsed on top of them.

 

Well YAY my brain doesn't hurt today!! Alright! And now I'm only one chapter away from finishing Kim's section, so that is super awesome. So the section I wrote today is a little bit bittersweet, because there's this bit where Kim is rowing a 2k on the ergs, and I was in crew up until winter break last year. And I totally miss the girls and the competition and stuff, so this section made me kind of sad. :-(

Doctor Horrible! Act III!

SQUEE.

*vamooses*



ETA: ( Reaction. )

The Sheppard-Weir Friends Only Banner Contest closes in twelve hours. Get in your last minute contributions. Please?

The Minn-StF Picnic is this Saturday (July 19th) at Minnehaha Park in picnic area #2 (between Godfrey Pkwy and Nawadaha Blvd). Here is a link to a map of the park (it's a PDF); there's also a map in the Minicon 43 program book. The picnic will start at 2pm and run until dark (around 9pm). There will be a grill going for anyone who wants to grill something (bring your own food to grill). Minn-StF will provide some beverages and snacks, we encourage you to bring some food to share. There will be game playing, so feel free to bring table games or outdoor games. Later in the evening some of us will take a walk down to the falls. We recommend that people show up closer to 2pm for this event than they normally would for a Minn-StF meeting!

Title: Of Love and Heroes
Summary: She has loved and been loved before.
Spoilers: Through season four
Genres: Roslin/Other, becoming Roslin/Adama
Warnings: One or two bad words. Oh my!

Read it here at katamaran78's fanfic page.

So I have basically two options. Wait two or three weeks for crowds to die down and pass restriction to lift and see Dark Knight, or go tomorrow morning at 8 to see it for the monthly employee party. I am torn. There is the third option of pay to see it between tomorrow and pass restriction lifting sometime, but that isn't an option I like much considering the other two are both free options.

So, wake up super early and see it tomorrow or wait a couple weeks, but get to sleep in.
What do I do?
