I'm still freezing, but at least the headache's gone. In case anybody cares, I could really do without getting sick. Thank you.
Did a good deal more office excavation yesterday, and discovered that in addition to a floor, I have horizontal surfaces. One is completely clear and I can actually see the other one. All right! One more concerted go and the office should be in a state of nobody-works-here orderliness. Just in time to start the next book.
Watched Tomb Raiders/Lara Croft II last night. Great gadgets, big guns. Moderately silly plot and characters, without the good-natured big-heartedness which is the saving grace of Jackie Chan movies.
Spent the morning throwing novel ideas at the screen to see which ones stick. An ...interesting... exercise. We'll sit down after dinner and see which of the possibles is most interesting, then take those and do longer synopsis of each, naming names, locating locations, and substituting actual story points for the hand-waving. The ideas that survive the process go on to Madame the Agent. And we shall see.
Well. Time to do dishes, and then a curl-up in the blue chair with a book, and Grandma Backof's brown-and-gold african.
