Various and Sundry are working for a living...

If I get one more "news" update about Tiger Woods, I'm canceling my subscription to CNN alerts. Seriously, people. It's Not News.

Was up this morning at oh-cold-early and walked to the market to buy coffee and, hey, while I was there, the fixings for chicken stew. Mmmm, stew. Then home, and right into Word War.

[for those of you wondering, or who were interested but forgot, the 'invite' gets posted at http://community.livejournal.com/toonowrimo/. All levels welcome, so long as you're there to work, not goof off. Goofing off is for the break periods]

Morning gave me 1,000 new words, am hoping to at least do that this afternoon, plus Other Writings.

Darling d'jour: "I didn’t ask what the fatae did with their dead; I suspected asking would be rude, and I wasn’t sure I wanted to know, anyway. J always said that sex and burial traditions were where most cultural misunderstandings happened."


Things researched today: cogeneration buildings, CD rates, roping knots, myself (an ego-google to track down pirates). Oh, and I am informed that you can get 25% rebate on ALL HQN eBooks until 12/14 at www.omnilit.com & www.allromanceebooks.com. Yes, I presume that includes Luna titles.

You're welcome. :-)



Meanwhile, clingy kitteh is being clingy (it always amazes people who think Pandora is aloof to see how much a momma's girl she is) and I am informed the UPS man is bringing my Brand!New!Knife! (and cutting board) today. Hrm. I think there may be Cooking, tonight. Or at least, chopping and mincing. Chicken stew, and gingered-squash soup. Yes.

I need an icon for "cozy-in-writing-burrow."

I, um, had no idea about [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]. That said, I could really, really use something like that to get me focused. *joins*

I had no idea you were a rider. Exterior hides inner secrets.

what, horses? From waybackwhen, as in "since I was 7." But the roping knots research was for writing-stuff.

Yes, but so many girls outgrow it. Only a few of us stay secretly horse-mad the rest of our lives, even if our lifestyle can't support owning one. I can just see it now, Tia taking up residence in your apartment with the other pets.

I thought you had resisted the half-price santoku! Please write a review when you've had a chance to try it out, I'd like to know what you think. What kind of cutting board did you get?
