Apparently I broke myself. I guess I didn’t sleep especially well or something, because I was just dead exhausted today and feeling very fragile. So on my mommy’s advice I did some yoga, which helped, and am going to plunk down and watch a Hugh Grant movie while eating an instadinner which has no morally superiority as a food except it requires almost no effort on my part, and that’s all I care about. Much more cheerfully, though, I have walked 100 miles in the last month! 103 miles, in…

things i must do!
The Irish Open, a Masters swim club championship meet, is the first weekend of May in Cork. I must remember to go to that. I would enjoy it a lot. Plodding away (or plotting away) on the book. Tomorrow’s a day off, since it’s volunteer day, and realistically speaking I won’t get anything done so I might as well not feel guilty about it. :) Maybe the day off will give me time to figure out what I’m doing, too, which would be helpful.

How is that okay?” What, she wanted to know, are people *doing* with their time, if they’re saying something will be in on a specific date and miss it? How does that work?…
International Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Day
There once were some science fiction writers Whose leader was a bit of a blighter* He called us all wretches And such words did fetch-us To become some pixel-stained fighters! Today is International Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Day, as proposed by here. I’m SFWA-qualified but not a member, so evidently in the grand scheme of things I get extra points for doing this. :) I have a variety of stuff already online, including IMMORTAL BELOVED, a Highlander novel, and a variety of first chapter teasers, but in honor of IPSTD, I’m posting…
