Fluffy bunny

Thanks to everyone for participating in The Pam's First Poll. At least as many people requested that I stop eating their brain as designated themselves craftspersons. Those who thought of themselves as an Artist-Craftsperson combo dominated.

Other news of the day: Since coming back from my vacation from Night Warrior on Monday, I've been cranking it out. I did 1,000 words today in not quite an hour and I'm probably 3/4 to 2/3 of the way through chapter 25. The ms. hit 104,000 words today. I'm still not as close to The End as I'd like to be, but I'm getting there.

Thought of the day: There must be a law of physics that says air conditioners can never and will never work properly—except, perhaps, in Bizarro World. The country is sweltering, this city is sweltering, but everyone in my office is swaddled in extra clothing and my legs, I think, are starting to form icicles. This is a new building and the AC has never worked right, and even though we just moved into the place in October, things are always breaking. We've begun to refer to it as the $50 million fixer-upper.

But it looks good. On the outside.

Cliché du jour: Their eyes held a silent plea.

Darling du jour: Behind us, all sound stopped except the occasional jangle of horse's tack, the shifting of hooves, the commentary of the crows.

I don't usually like to designate darlings because often they look pretty stupid in retrospect, but this one's okay. It's held up for a couple of days now, anyway. Next week, it may look stupid.

Picture of the day



This is a panorama of the Cornish moors near St. Just, taken last year. I hope you can see it all scrunched up like this. I'll know once I post this sucker, won't I?

This was my last vacation taken with a manual camera. I love my manual camera, but I still haven't got all the photos scanned in and posted at my photo site. I should have had the damned things saved to disk when I developed them, but I'm such a little fluffy head... la di da la di da...

I love that picture(s)! It's absolutely gorgeous...

Thanks! I've been thinking for a year now (but I tend to move rather slowly) that I'd like to take the jpg I made to a fine photo place and have an oversized prints made and then do jazzy mounts as Xmas presents for my two companions, glimpsed in one of the panels. I like the slightly disjointed and patched together quality of the panorama. It gives it a kind of...arty feel, if you'll pardon the expression. :-)

And Lynn and/or Ann, if you're reading this, pretend you didn't. :-) (Besides, at the rate I move, it could be ten Xmases from now.)
