listen to the silence...

Just back from dropping James off at the airport, and back to a house filled with silence. Well, rain falling and the muted sound of Peter watching football in the bedroom, and distant traffic outside....

But other than that, silence.

It will take a day or two to get used to, this sense of empty house.


Fortunately, tomorrow I'm fully back into work-schedule, and so my brain at least will be noisy. I have a project to start for a small publisher, a book proposal to follow up on, a new editor to get in touch with, and the beginnings of a new story to mull (we went to the Museum of Natural History over the weekend and saw their exhibit on Petra, which was fabulous and made me stop midway through and pull out my Palm and scribble notes furiously, much to James' amusement).

But for now, going to curl up with my new DVDs of the entire Indiana Jones trilogy, a fuzzy blanket, and some bread and cheese, and enjoy the solitude...

Pro-cras-tin-aaaation, I'm making me wait... Quizzage!

I have combed LJ, gone hither and yon, far and wide, all in the name of procrastinating/not going to see what else is on t.v.

This one's for agamisu (both the quiz itself, and the amusement of the answer).

( What fashion designer fits you? )

I'm not sure about the questions I had to answer for this quiz, but...

( What's YOUR Writing Style? )

And I guess ( this )

explains much about why the meerkat's been writing more than suricata lately... (and I do not have a split personality. I'm just very...crowded.)

And, okay, going away from the computer now.

one more...

Because I Got Shit Done this evening, one more LJ metoo, this one taken from koimistress

As someone who works with the tarot, I'm aware of how much of any reading is interpretation... and yet I believe that the universe is woven from twinned threads of chaos and pattern, and there is a shared... something... among all that exists. So I take these things seriously within the sand of doubting, and thus I find this so very, very interesting.
