lagilman: coffee or die (meerkat and diet coke)
[personal profile] lagilman
I am being a bad writer-suri today: I am not writing anything. Mainly this is because I got in at 4:30 this morning (ow, ow, and also ow) and didn't wake up until around 10 (and then only because the phone woke me up,) and making potluck pasta and watching Leverage is about all my brain can handle.

Am having some interesting backbrain thoughts about the subplot, though, and scribbled down some notes that should make for an interesting mid-book twist. Also, ties in neatly with what's already been implied but not established about Talent in the previous series. Should also give me a way to bring forward a secondary character without jarring the narrative. That will be fun (and when you guys actually read this part, two years from now, maybe one person will go "oh, that's what she was talking about. Cool!" For you, dear reader, I dedicate that scene).

Later, there will be bill-paying, and then I am heading back downtown for the evening. I r a soshal meerkat.


Tomorrow, the world goes back to its natural order of things.


As an aside: having seen possibly the Ur bachelor's apartment, source of All Jokes, last night, I wonder -- how would y'all define the such a thing? How about for a woman? This is actually for research, so speak up, don't be shy, share your observations freely...

Beige. Leather. Chrome. Completely spotless, because he has a cleaning person. Tidy, because he wants it the way he wants it. Absolutely nothing in any but a neutral color (or black). The latest in Bose technology for his music, and a Very Large Flatscreen.

Do bachelors really live like this? I have no idea.

Female: a lot of her favorite color, whatever that might be. Plants and flowers and bookcases. Softness in the rugs and upholstery. Completely spotless, because she has a cleaning person. Tidy, because she wants it the way she wants it, but not so appallingly tidy as Mr Bachelor. A good sound system, yes, but also her piano/guitar/dulcimer. A huge, alphabetized collection of her favorite movies on DVD, already upgraded from video.

Well, you asked.
