Nada

Hard to believe I had nothing to talk about, isn't it?

Maybe harder if you knew me IRL. ^_^

Some Kind of Miracle

some weeds are pretty so I pretend that I planted them

Pics will be somewhat randomly interspersed with text in today's post.

By some freak twist of fate that I still don't quite understand, I don't have to teach any morning classes this week. At all. Yes, the dojang is closed every morning this week. O_O

I'm still unsure of what to do with myself.

oracle of delphinium

OK, that's an outright lie. I'll be writing.

I had a big breakthough in my novel-to-be this weekend. You know, the one I lost when my laptop crashed. (urgh) Needless to say, I now back it up early and often, and I have to say that in the long run, it's going to be a better book for having to do it twice, because I'm at such a different place in my life now that all sorts of things are being woven in that wouldn't have made it before. Yeah, that's what I tell myself.

So, yep, I'll be writing. (And feeling guilty about those 2 review books I still need to finish. Gah!)

MuNKi bread
In other news, in a stroke of sheer genius, MuNKi got the Linux box both rip and burn-capable, so now Sting is able to serenade me while I write (lucky Sting ;) ) AND, we can burn CDs that actually play in the van. O_O (this is huge, folks ^_^) In the past, none of the stuff we've burned has played in the car. It plays in the DVD player, but not the car. But all the cool Korean and Hindi and Arabic stuff that my friend burns for me - no problem. I'm still not sure what the deal is, but I have to say that I ♥ Linux. Tux is my homeboy. Or, er, whatever. ^_^

Today was our last day to feed our friend's Savannah cat and Pixiebob while she's on her honeymoon. (yes, the wedding we went to last weekend) Needless to say, the kids have loved that. >^_^<



And now we must go eat the Creme de Menthe cake I made.

That is all.

Expanding and Contracting

I got my first contract in the mail today. (Some of my other stuff has paid, but there haven't been contracts before now.) They're paying me £50. While this is not enough for me to begin living an expansive lifestyle, I'm pretty excited. ^_^
