story progress

Ah-hah! I have been informed of the antag's motivation (the cat cracks the case!), and determined the secondary protag's fate, and in doing so realized that I have finally written my first-ever piece of crack!fic.

Oh, um, dear.

Now to get some people et, and wrap it all up, so I can go back to the Stuff Under Deadline....

EtA: and we have achieved Draft of "Mad Cats and Englishmen." Now to wash the rind and store it in a cool place to age for a while...

I like the coolth. I does not likes the humdidity.

Paracodol FTW. I can has brain again.

Also, the Baltimore Marriott Hunt Valley FTW, as recent unpleasantness with their national reservations line were not only handled efficiently by the on-site manager, but he followed up with a letter of apology and breakfast buffet coupons. No great expense to them, but a small miracle of good customer management.

And, for those of you who a) actually are reading short fiction or b) want to start, my story
"Wolfling" has gone up at Abyss & Apex. Go, read, and read klingonguy's Xenosomnabulism too, and if you like what you read -- or you appreciate A&A's chutzpa in publishing them -- drop them a donation via paypal. Remember, the more arts you support, the more arts you get!

And back to work now, me.

*geeky joy*

"Camelot" on "Live From Lincoln Center." (thanks to dancinghorse for the brain-kick on the proper name)

That music just.... every time I hear the overture I go to a seriously happy place.*

And Gabriel Byrne as Arthur? Uh-HUH. (the singing voice may not be magnificent but I can live with that for every other aspect so far... he makes a totally adorable Arthur.)

King Arthur (Gabriel Byrne), Guenevere (Marin Mazzie) and Sir Lancelot (Nathan Gunn, in leather pants, as he ought be). Also: Pellinore (Christopher Lloyd), and Morgan le Fey (Fran Drescher)

EtA: and the New York Times has their comments here


Also: there is nothing that lime-sage butter cannot make fabulous. Fresh river trout, and steamed haricort vert with that lime-sage butter? *dies happy*



*and I discover that even now I remember almost every word of the entire score.
