I stole this from Judy:

Well, enough of that. I’ve probably forgotten something terribly easy to put down for the ones I skipped, but that’s life. Onward and upward!

I took last night off from the world of writing. Cleared off some space on my DVDs instead. Tonight The Dresden Files and Batlestar Galactica are on.

Anyway, writing. Yes, Relic Hunter Chick & the Billionaire Benefactor are in the Congo searching for a lost city. And I discovered the other day RHC has a thing about bugs and other creepy crawlies which is pretty funny given her job. *g* TBB thinks it’s pretty amusing, too. He’s told her he’ll protect her from them. Personally, I think she can protect herself from them just fine, but she won’t be offended if someone else does the smushing, hacking, etc. ;) Then again, I’m not keen on creepy crawlies myself so I may not be up to writing about them. I may have to stick with murder and mayhem. *g*

Today’s horoscope:

You don’t have to be a genius or do something extraordinary for people to notice you. It’s time that you abandoned the notion that you can’t play a musical instrument because you don’t have Mozart’s pitch or that you can’t sculpt because you don’t have Rodin’s hands! Dare to engage in any hobbies or interests that catch your fancy.

Hmm. One assumes this could apply to writing, as well…

I wrote almost two pages last night. They still haven’t been attacked yet, but that’s okay. At least they’re getting ready to hit the road… well, forge a trail, at least. Not much in the way of a road and they’re on foot, so. :D

What it is about spammers that come up with the weirdest names? Okay, I know they use some kind of program that makes them up, but still. I’ve gotten mail from:

April Variations (of the Boston Variations, no doubt)

Delineation E. Theft (he probably works for Dewey, Cheatem & Howe )

Heirloom U. Flatten (I wonder what kind of heirlooms s/he flattens? )

And my personal favorite:

Ashcans S. Crawfishes

For those who might be interested, The Dresden Files‘ premiere episode is being repeated tonight at 7:00pm Central on Sci Fi.

I wrote about a page last night, I think. Relic Hunter Chick and her billionaire benefactor got all kissy-face on me. Not that that’s a bad thing, per se. But I think it may be time for some Congolese rebels to attack….

Okay, the deal with my foot. It’s called plantar fasciitis (also known as, or similar to, I’m not sure) heel spurs. I’ve had it before, several years ago. Back then I had to pretty much just live with it until it got better. Stay off it as much as possible. Stretch the calf muscle. So, basically, doing what I’m already doing. It IS getting better. Just very slowly. Which was just like last time. In case nobody’s figured it out. I’m not a good patient. LOL.
