In which Rolanni has more hair than wit

So, we didn't get snowed in on Thursday, which was sorta too bad. There were a bad couple minutes when Binjali seemed stuck half-way through the berm left at the end of the driveway by the Town Plow. Argent the Subaru had driven through it without even noticing it was there. The 1997 Altima? A leetle too close to the ground. Steve cleared the berm and off I went, hardly late for work at all.

We have negotiated new delivery dates with Toni, the Extremely Patient Editor Lady. The deadline for Saltation is now May 15, and for Mouse and Dragon July 15. Those deliveries mean the books would appear in mid and late 2010, respectively.

This weekend will be a Writing Weekend: Steve will be busy with the revisions to Saltation and I with the opening chapter(s) of Mouse. In preparation for this Epic Undertaking, Steve is, as I type, making spaghetti. Because nothing stimulates the Creative Impulse like like pasta and red sauce.

I'm thinking a little Airbender after a leisurely dinner, and early to bed. I dunno about you people, but I'm exhausted.

Everybody have Big Plans for this weekend? Oh, wait, it's a football thingy on Sunday, isn't it? So, who's not watching the game?

To your scattered authors go...

I have upgraded technology sitting here on the desk, and you all know what that means, right? Right! I can play Second Life again. Due to Kit Jimenez's long absence from the game, she has money to burn, and that's what she intends to do. First purchase was a new avatar, that does not have Humongeous SL Tits(R). I feel sooo much better. And I'm sure Kit does, too.

In Real Life, I vacuumed the house, to the consternation of the cats, excepting Hexapuma, who can't seem to actually figure it all out. He doesn't want to ride around on the vacuum cleaner, like Dulsey did, but he doesn't see any real reason to, like, get out of the way, either.

Also, may I just say? The Book of Water Chapter Thirteen -- Almost, almost Perfect.

My copy of Web Mage arrived in yesterday's mail, and it looks positively yummy.

*Wonders if she has time to read a book*

As you may have guessed, all of this unrelated activity means that I'm Working Hard(tm) on Mouse and Dragon. I have regretfully decided that the interview with Samiv's delm happens too deep inside Scout's Progress to make it a reasonable starting point for Mouse.... However! It has likewise occurred me to that (1) Clonak's father adores making mischief, and (2) the Gazette will have published its morning edition.
