Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

At least you’re making progress. I’ve been working on a story for 4 months and still have only 19 pages.
Good luck with the work! Getting yourself into a late night mode is probably a good thing. And it’s a good thing it’s on a weekend night so you can come home and just crash!
Eduardo Verástegui is a durn fine-lookin' man, whether dolled up ---

or a little more real-guy ...

I love this montage ... a great range of expressions to work with.
As for my heroine ... well ... right now, I like this lady ...

Ms. Lainie Kazan.
There's a video of her with Dean Martin; she's been committed to comic-book history as Big Barda; she's had a Playboy shoot. That's a wealth of material to work with ...
I toyed with the idea of a tiny little blonde as Grace ... but I like Lainie better. A single mom and innkeeper has to be robust ... and I wanted an earth-mother type. <laughing>
Now I need to flesh out my outline ... and I only have 6 days!!!
Cool beans. I love the blue stove!
I’ve got some pics to serve as MCs, but it’ll have to be after work when I post ‘em....
Rest up! I’ll be thinking about you Fri nite.
Didja get cute scrubs?
And green-suiters solve problems. We've got a bunch of PhD'd civilians in charge and it's just, well, bad.
I’m sticking with the terrorist story. I don’t think I could get a decent 50k out of the other story without a lot of ~walking~ scenes. :)
Heh. I settled for a couple of glasses of wine. It’s shopping day today, so I’ll have some mixer around tonight.
I know the type... 40 lbs head... can't getta date... their always the smartest guy in the room... decisive as a tapeworm, and half as pleasant...
God help yuh...

Best way ever to actually write something.
You should do it with us.
That’s what NaNo is for! It really does help to do something that just requires writing quantity rather than quality. I don’t think it’s *always* the best approach, but it’s a good exercise.
Mmm...yeah. There was a thread about him yesterday.
Man, that's harsh!
I found him on that thread ... took one look and almost yelled. Fortunately I restrained myself ... I was at work, and they don't get NaNo.
BTW ... you were looking for a clever way to poison someone? Heard this one on NCIS night before last ... replace the victim's contact lens solution with the poison.
I may use that one myself in the future ...
Ow...that’s a painful way to do it, I’d think!
I’m mostly trying to figure out a way to poison someone through food using something that might be available to a pharmacist - i.e. a pill that dissolves in liquid and doesn’t have much of a taste. I’m not completely satisfied with any of the things I’ve found. Especially since I don’t want something that builds up over time — I need it to happen quickly.
It might make me watch after all...
Well I oughta do REAL well then, cause I know how to be imperfect!! LOL
I think I will LOL FReepers are the best people in the world!
