Na’ bad, na’ bad. 2900 words today, which is what I have to do daily for the next 10 days if I want to hit 60K before we go to Hawaii. I’m wildly unlikely to finish the book before then, but 3/4ths complete would be excellent. I’ve been all whingy about doing it, but that’s just sheer laziness going on. Later on tonight, when I get bored, which I suspect will happen, I’ll very likely get COYOTE DREAMS started in some fashion or another. Synopsizing, anyway, ’cause the proposal’s due…

I had a lot of fun doing…
weekendy catchup

It was absolutely gorgeous out, and to Jai and my amazement, Tori did the whole 5km walk without a word of complaint. The second half of it we had her running up to check points ahead of us so she could wait for us, which gave her a chance to show off and escape the parental yoke of oppression all at once, so it worked very well. We had a really good…

We have just returned from seeing the HHGTTG movie. Overall, I was really very happy with it. There’s lots straight from the books, and plenty of laugh-out-loud bits, and despite Marvin looking and sounding all wrong, he was actually quite perfect (unlike Zaphod, whose heads and third arm they really did screw up. For ease of filming, yeah yeah yeah I see why they did it, but eh, I would not have done Zaphod the way they did in many aspects. Nonetheless, I can’t say he wasn’t pretty Zaphod-like.) Arthur…
