Okay, I got this from here, and I just thought it was a wonderful idea. Today a coworker of mine had a thought to send flowers to a random couple waiting in line at SF city hall. He called a florist and they agreed to do it. He told them to deliver to any couple — it didn’t matter who — standing in line to get married, with his blessing. The card will read simply “With love, from Minneapolis, Minnesota.” (or where ever you are from). Call your local florist,…
sleeping & writing
I went to bed last night and my mind starting going *churn churn churn* on this book and I tried to store the thoughts away for this morning, because they were good thoughts but I didn’t want to stay up all night writing them. I’m not sure if I stored them all well enough, but I managed to hang on to some of them, and consequently got 1500 words written this morning and although I still feel that I’ve got a whole lot of work to do on this book,…
out of the house, yay!
Got out of the house for the first time since Saturday. o.o Working at home has its perks, but man. The whole housebound thing can really get on my nerves sometimes. It wasn’t actually so bad this time because I’ve been *sick* and not inclined to do anything, but still. Blah.

It’s amazing how much…
feeling better
Feeling a lot better today, which may or may not have something to do with having gone to bed at 10 minutes to 8 last night. Still a bit snorfly, but generally a lot better. Sarah pointed me at this site, a conference called Mythic Journeys, which is convening for the first time this June. It looks incredibly interesting. Some authors I admire hugely will be there — Jane Yolen, Guy Gavriel Kay, (also Robert Holdstock, author of Mythago Woods, which I mistakenly held against Charles deLint for some fifteen…
stupid *stupid* rat creature
God damn it. I am a stupid, *stupid* rat creature. Know how I mentioned I’d cleaned my desk on… whatever day that was? Yeah, well, I cleaned all our 2003 tax stuff right into the garbage. God *damn* it. It’s not that much of a travesty. I’ve been able to get 75% of the information I needed off the net and the rest of it through some phone calls or emails (except Ted’s stupid former company won’t ANSWER THE PHONE), but god *damn* it.
