Bit of Ivory

I have literally been out of the house since 10:30 this morning, so I missed the whole blackout saga. Apparently there are still places without power. To all you people suffering on the East Coast and in Canada– I hope you get power soon. I’d hate to be living on the top floor of one [...]

Just got back from a wedding–one more of my high school friends. He wasn’t in my class, he was a year older. But still. Most of my close group of friends are now married. *sigh*
Spent the night getting dragged around by Rosie again. Man, that kid has energy.
Got a fair amount of worx done on [...]

Haikus made from my LJ/BLog:

Have started a Georgette Heyer book– The Grand Sophy. Am enjoying it immensely so far.
Submitted my SQ contest entry. I feel good about this fic. Don’t know if it’s a winner or not, as I don’t really know what the competition will be like, but I’m satisfied with what it is and what it says.

to all who have a copy of my story sitting in their inbox:
The contest deadline is tomorrow at 9 AM Eastern. Since I very much doubt that I will feel like getting up at 6:30 in the morning to go over any betas, I plan on submitting my entry tonight. I will most likely be [...]

I must be mad.
I really must be mad.
And it’s all Trisha’s fault.
Remember that interview where Trisha asked me what fanfic plot I’d love to read but haven’t seen written yet?
I answered that I’d like to read about Dumbledore’s schooldays.
And I’ve spent the last four days obsessing over it.
I’ve got lots of great ideas. And they [...]

Interview questions from Laura (who now has a blog!):
1. Do you like poetry (at least appreciate it?) and who is your favorite
poet?
I do like poetry, though not so much that I seek it out when I’m starving for reading material. I even used to write it. Maybe someday I’ll post some of my pathetic attempts [...]
