I don't watch Angel as a general rule, but have been watching the past couple weeks for the Obvious Reason, and so have some scattered thoughts about "Release."

I originally friends-locked my anagrammatic post, in case anyone objected to my playing fast and loose with their chosen username. But nobody did; I'm unlocking it, because otherwise the in-joke-y-ness is just too much to bear. And if you're one of the people subjected to anagrammation, and you do object, just let me know and I'll delete the relevant item.

In which we continue to explore Susan Cooper's The Dark Is Rising Sequence
(For the first installment of this Thrilling Serial Adventure, look here.)
It took me a while to get through The Dark Is Rising this time, because reading it with full attention made me painfully aware of what a sad book it is. Loss is Cooper's theme; it's no accident that "Greensleeves" is the song that keeps recurring throughout the book. I'll be talking a lot about elegy in TDIRS as this project continues; there are only hints of it in OSUS, but starting in TDIR it becomes the dominant theme.

Mar. 13th, 2003 06:06 pmThat short story: revised w. 200 new words and the eminently sane conclusion that it needs to sit for a week or two so that my passionate fondness for the good bits can quit obscuring my rational contemplation of the other bits
Proj2.2: 527 words
Total: approx. 727 words
Other work completed: searching through four different reference sources to make up a dog-Greek coinage that had the right feel. Succeeded.
Verdict: Enh.
And you're stopping because ... ? Need to decompress before dinner with Mirrorthaw and Chesulker. Also, tricky scene coming up which needs better concentration than I can offer. Another over-bright day, another headache.
No progress with Proj4, because I'm having a little trouble combining a goddess-worshipping religion with the Church of England, esp. as it appears in and informs Golden Age British mysteries. The things you back yourself into when you're not looking.
