-fwoosh-

I got through 450 pages of manuscript without falling asleep today, which is an amazingly good sign. I’ve got another hundred to go, and possibly should’ve stopped about 25 pages ago, as by the end I was just reading, and not thinking at all. I wanted to get to the last 3 chapters and just have those for tomorrow, but it’s another 20 pages to the end of the one I’m on, and … yeah. Had to stop.

it has been a Very Busy Day. Ted and I went to ‘s class and talked their ears off for two hours (mostly I did, with Ted adding the occasional pithy remark). I had *lots* of fun. I hope they did, too. :) Then we went to see Casino Royale, which was too long but which I enjoyed pretty thoroughly. I don’t like Pierce Brosnan, so Daniel Craig was a win in my book even before I saw the movie, but I thought he was an awesome Bond. And OMG,…
