truepennyIt's the seventh day of February. Where am I?
1. p. 140 of Duffy (out of 593). I need to read faster, 'cause I've got a hell of a lot more reading to do and then a fair amount of writing, and three weeks left to do it in. No matter how lame this damn thing is on March 1, it's going to the godlike committee member, but I want it to be as unlame as possible.
2. finished w. editing Ch. 10 of The Project. Mesmerized by Ch. 11 as the mongoose is NOT mesmerized by the snake (*heart*Rikki-Tikki-Tavi*heart*), because it has some problems in it that I just flat out do not want to deal with. Tho' ineffective, avoidance remains a popular coping strategy among our respondents.
3. toying with vague ideas for a couple of short stories. I've been trying to write a werewolf story for seriously the last three years; may have finally reached an insight that I can build an engine around. Maybe.
4. presented with another nugget of pre-Raph trivia whilst searching for the correct spelling of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi: Rudyard Kipling's mother Alice Macdonald was the sister-in-law of Edward Burne-Jones. I wonder if she was present for the interment of the tube of mummy.
5. Mulling over ideas for next analytical collaboration with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Date: 2003-02-07 10:26 am (UTC)"The Wombat, Kipling, and the Tube of Mummy" has such allure as a title, I may have to write this, despite knowing next to nothing about the private lives of the pre-Raphaelites and even less about Kipling--'tho Kipling as small grubby boy won't need much verisimilitude vis-a-vis Kipling in later life.
And (this bit I do know) wombats are DIGGERS. Having the wombat unearth the tube of mummy is probably the most plausible part of the entire idea.
I cannot believe I just wrote that.
