Saturday evening, still no rain. Less pollen.

wordage: about 3,000 new words out of scribbly notes. 3/4 of the way through the plot. Not 3/4 of the way through the word count. Quick, kill someone!

gymage: about an hour workout, between the elliptic and the weights. Plus Added!Bonus!Humor! of getting kradical to the gym with us. Yes, on the same day he had karate. I plan on calling him up tomorrow morning and asking how those shoulder muscles are feeling...

Plus added added bonus of stopping by florist on way home and coming away with big-ass frondy fern, plus a massing of celebratory flowers that Boomer is currently eyeing with evil intent....

A good day, yes. Despite damned tree-pollen. Dinner is chicken rotini with red peppers, and a glass of a surprisingly good sauvignon blanc -- I say surprisingly good because it cost me the grand total of $7.99. Yes, for the whole bottle. It's French, made in the New Zealand style, and I can rec it with the provision that you keep in mind you're drinking an under-10 -- there's no brilliant depth or sparkle here, just a nice, clean taste of green apple and flint. Kiwi Cuveě 2006, and you can probably find it your local winestore or better supermarket


Also, for those of you with even a passing interest, the SFWA election results are in. You can put away the swords, there will be no need to fall on them this year. Russell Davis FT(considerable)W. My only disappointment is that we still didn't have a massive turnout. How difdficult is it to send in a ballot, people? I know you guys know how to seal and mail envelopes....

Speak to me not of tree pollen. A friend of mine with allergies similar to mine exclaims, "The trees are trying to kill me!" Sometimes it feels like that. From the first day of spring until about Mother's Day, I feel like a fuzzy green blob is living in my chest. Feh.

But that's boring. Tonight we made angelhair pasta with garlic, olive oil, and butter. We roasted asparagus, sauteed mushrooms, grilled bacon, and prepared broccoli di rape. We cut these all up and put them on the table and everyone piled stuff on their pasta of their choosing, with lots of parmesan. Was good.

Probably just fine. Honestly, this was lighter than some Thursday classes and any promotion. *grin*

I just bought Free Fall off the shelves in Fort Worth, Texas. So much for May 1st! EXCELLENT JOB as always!

Glad you enjoyed! And yeah, stores seem to be jumping the sales-date juuuuust a bit (Amazon is shipping, too)

The pollen doesn't start to be a problem for me till the oak flowers get going. Which should be any day now. Oig.

As for SFWA, I'm a non-voting member. So why the hell did that Zicree character keep e-mailing me? He just ensured I'll vote for anything BUT his film when I submit my Hugo ballot.

Because he's a power-mad fanwonk with a strange idea about the importance of certain awards, especially for fanwonk films? I lucked out in my timing -- he was using an old list, and so any e-mail he sent me went to the old, discontinued account and I remained blissfully unspammed.

The lack of rain is NOT MY FAULT! I got the car washed yesterday.

Stupid birch and beech trees.

Don't forget to send death threats to mulberry bushes.
