Library Thoughts

"The Librarian was, of course, very much in favour of reading in general, but readers in particular got on his nerves. There was something, well, sacrilegious about the way they kept taking books off the shelves and wearing out the words by reading them. He liked people who loved and respected books, and the best way to do that, in the Librarian's opinion, was to leave them on the shelves where Nature intended them to be."

from Men At Arms  by Terry Pratchett.

I'm thinking of making this my personal motto

Mellow afternoon ahead?

Or perhaps its a mirage.

Just getting ready for lunch (yes, my favorite time of the day).

After the ructions of going to the UK, all the hasslesome travel and losing my mobile (horror of horrors)  and possibly an amber bracelet (I will cry A LOT if I really have), today seems to be settling down nicely. I ordered a laptop and a new phone over the last couple of days so am very excited about their (probably not so-)imminent arrival.

Imagine, having a computer I can use all by myself

ANYWHERE!!!!

They are not allowed on it. Oh no! It's mine I tell you, all mine!

Except for... 

You know its going to happen, of course. On holiday, or a day when one of us is working and the tv blows up or something... They'll get their hands on it eventually, but I'm going to put that moment off for as long as humanely possible.

I finished the story for Liberty Hall. Have to do a couple of amendments and then post it. I wrote a little more of Moy Tura Echoes last night. And my crit group will be looking at the first chapter of May Queen this week. I got a rewrite request for the poem "Dr. Dee's Angels" - did I say that already? Can't remember. They like the last 3 verses. I haven't made enough time to look at it yet. I want to get the novel ready to go first. It's eating my time away and whenever I sit down to it great chunks of time seem to be devoured. But I will get there eventually.

So, not a lot of news, but in a better mood. Aren't Libraries great?

OK, but how could I work when there was this...

You scored as Babylon 5 (Babylon 5), The universe is erupting into war and your government picks the wrong side. How much worse could things get? It doesn't matter, because no matter what you have your friends and you'll do the right thing. In the end that will be all that matters. Now if only the Psi Cops would leave you alone.

Babylon 5 (Babylon 5) 100% Moya (Farscape) 94% Heart of Gold (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) 94% Nebuchadnezzar (The Matrix) 75% Serenity (Firefly) 75% SG-1 (Stargate) 75% Millennium Falcon (Star Wars) 56% Galactica (Battlestar: Galactica) 56% Deep Space Nine (Star Trek) 50% Enterprise D (Star Trek) 50% Bebop (Cowboy Bebop) 44% FBI's X-Files Division (The X-Files) 38% Andromeda Ascendant (Andromeda) 38% Which sci-fi crew would you best fit in with?

Oh Yes!

And so it begins...

Note to self...

Never Never NEVER

start editing novel while cooking tea for children. It's a bad scene all round!
