To do list

[mrissa]

Last night I dreamed I was lost in South Dakota and was attempting to get directions from a nanotech-embedded baseball and could not find misia. The sad thing about this is that if only it had been laurel instead of misia, I would have considered the whole thing to make sense, at least internally. It was not a restful night.


Things that absolutely must be done today:
--Target run
--Wrap B. presents
--Order O. flowers
--Call grands
--Pay bill
--Go to dinner

Things I probably should do today lest I regret it later:
--clean kitchen
--Walk dog
--Bank run
--Pick up framed whatsit
--Do "Carter Hall" edits for Nice, Sensible On Spec Editor
--Wash jeans&socks, towels, sheets
--Find markets for two short stories and send out
--Order other thing for don't you get nosy, odds are only 1/224 that it's you
--Order other other thing, okay, so 2/224, still, extremely slight odds, especially since both of these are for specific events
--clean bathrooms

Things I want to do today anyway:
--continue work on thing mechaieh mugged me with, thank you so much grumble mumble harumph
--write to crazy aunt #1
--call crazy aunt #2
--poke at least two items on Thermionic Night beta revisions sublist into submission
--read some more of Crossing the Line


Oh, the glamour. Oh, the excitement

Hee! What are friends for, but to share the pain glamour and excitement?

If it's any consolation, I was up most of the night fussing with fifteen lines about curtains and colourlessness.

I'm afraid I'm not much for misery loving company, but I hope they were fifteen good lines.

Apparently my brain thinks that "on Europa" is a component of "unexpected ways of mourning." Sigh.

At the moment, some of them still look good, although there are hints that I need to refine them into a sonnet or expand them into a suite. Or both. Possibilities, possibilities...

Apparently my brain is seizing on cues from yours, because your mentioning Europa seems to have shaken loose from my belfry a scenario involving Galileo and a plate of blood. Not what I should be working on this morning, but...

But you can't always do what you're s'posed to be doin'.

Wise are the words of the Arlo.

Please tell me that "over here" is not "in South Dakota."
