j_cheney | Back to work...

I did basically no writing for the last two days, mainly due to hustling around and doing little things. I need to work tonight, so I'll turn of the internetz and dig in....but only on something fun.

Received in the mail:
-Membership in the Roundbottom Foundation, along with my wonderful 8x10 of Another Clockwork Curiosity.
-Copy of Head Cases (About Traumatic Brain Injuries) (will not be read until next year)
-Cards, plus a GC to the CheeseCake Factory
-Copy of WOTF24, purchased through Galaxy Press to donate to a charity auction....yes, I had to buy a copy to donate it.

Work done:
-Lots of research on 1905 dress. Unfortunately, the book I got at the library only covers women's dress of the period, which frustrates me....but it was free, so I shouldn't complain.

Purchased:
50% off 8'3"x 11" rug. Home Decorators is closing their store here, and was dumping only the 'damaged' rugs, but this one only had loose binding.

displacedtexan has long said that the rug we had in that room was way too small. This one fits, so it was worth a dip in the savings.

Commentary:
I find Facebook very frustrating and limiting. Even with the new format.

Commentary 2:
Garrison Keillor was at ACU? He broadcast from Moody Coliseum? Wild.
The funniest part was listening to the Dean of Biblical Studies trying to explain how a huge group of churches can actually exist without a church heirarchy. Seemed to boggle Keillor's mind. ;o) (Or he was just acting, also possible)

Reading notes:
Still reading "The Great Influenza" and "The Penguin Book of Vampire Stories". There's a story by C.L.Moore which is creepily similar to FdM (my 24-hour story).

displacedtexan is reading "Life in a Medieval Castle" for me. According to him, not enough about sanitation in it to interest me.
