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!
Nope, haven’t been there. Pizza sounds good!
Heh...at first I was thinking pool as in water. It’s just a weeeee bit chilly fer that.
Thanks. ;-)
Doing housekeep-y things. Well, in the technical sense of “tasks that must be done”. Mostly grad school class related. But now I’m done with those so I should do some real chores so when Talon gets home we can start writing right away.
I’m putting pizza before writing tonight.
For the record, I’m not in any kind of word count competition. I want to finish this year, but so long as it’s by the 30th, I don’t care where I am in the pack.
And I’m feeling ornery because I hate problems I can’t fix because I don’t understand them, and we’ve had a lot of those this week.
I’m not doing it as a competition. Just a personal progress meter. I don’t care about word count either, just the story. It’s gonna take more than 50k to tell it I think.
I can't get Jeremy Ibizid Mohammed to cross the street. Time to get a stick to poke the character. *poke*poke*poke*
That’s a really terrible name, too.
My characters are wasting time. The main character, mostly. She thinks she needs time to talk herself into going to Faeryland to rescue her true-love-to-be. Bah. She’s trying to patch things up with the annoying jerk.
The main thing I like about NaNo is that it gets me writing daily. I wish I could keep that up more consistently the rest of the year, even if it’s just a couple hundred words a day instead of approaching two thousand.
He’s a convert. Not too smart. Picked his own name. At least he doesn’t do drugs any more. That kind of thing.
This is mostly cop gear that is also handy for a lot of civilian use. I have one of these parkas in forest green:
In X-S, S, and M, it's a $250 coat for $99, green only. It comes with all sorts of hidden pockets and panels, where you can secrete anything that you can attach with Velcro.
A shorter fleece-lined jacked, dark blue and size M only, is regularly $150, on sale for $30.
If any of this interests you, freepmail me, and I'll pass along the link. The parka has become my favorite above-zero winter coat.
Uh, yeah. Does he get kilt?
The heroine has now made it to Faeryland and is having a conversation with a squirrel.
Not kilt. Just used. He’s a decoy. And because he’s white and blue-eyed, the civil libertarians get all in a twist over his arrest and use him to denounce “racisit profiling techniques.”
Enjoying beer and hot wings, celebrating a new phase in my life and toasting g’nad’s good health.
“It’s a phase.”

type type type...
~gulp~
Good evening, my FRiend.
*drinking iced tea* Evening.
I just got a bunch of 5.11 gear a few weeks back. Its good stuff.
In fact I got their kit of velcro gizmos. Its got the holster and and a holder for my baton. Got some pants and belts. And a boonie hat. Gotta have a boonie hat. :-)
Good evening!
