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)

BTW, Kipling wasn't jingoistic actually. He's have been against this coming war. But then Jerry Pournelle is against it, so that doesn't say much.
