So, last night’s eliminations on DWTS weren’t much of a surprise. Michael Irvin and Mark Dacascos. But Aaron Carter was in the bottom three and I held out hope he’d get the boot, but no such luck. Oh well. There’s always next week.
I have a new obsession. Steampunk. I want to read it. I want to write it. I might have to live without that last one, though. I’m not at all sure I’m up to the job. But there’s something inherently fascinating about a world powered by steam and gears instead of gasoline and electricity.
Tonight is the season finale, I think, of Primeval and the series premiere of another show on BBC America called Being Human. The latter is about three roommates trying to get by in London. Oh yeah. One’s a vampire, one’s a werewolf, and one’s a ghost. *g* I’ll be recording both shows, though, so I can watch part of the Torchwood: Children of Earth episodes I recorded.
Much to my amazed delight, I managed to write a page and a half last night!
Italian archaeologists have discovered an intact 2000-year-old container of lotion. It was found in the cosmetics case of an aristocratic Etruscan woman.
The parents went to Home Depot this morning in search of legs for my desk. I’m currently using two file cabinets as a base. I’m also constantly banging my knees because there’s not enough leg room, hence the legs for the desktop. Then it’ll be time to rearrange furniture in here. Again. For the umpteenth time. Surely, someday I’ll hit on the perfect arrangement. Right? Just agree with me. Please.
Tonight we have a new episode of Primeval which I’ll be recording. And I think I may use one or both of my PPV vouchers. In addition to Inkheart which I definitely want to see, they’ve added Bedtime Stories which I’ve thought looks very cute and Quantum of Solace which should have lots of action.
I managed to write a page and a half in record time last night. I managed the page itself in about 10 minutes!!! That never happens! Then I added the half page. We now know the identity of the killer! (Well, I’ve known for awhile now, but you know what I mean.) We just don’t know why. (And I’m waiting for elucidation—that’s my ten dollar word for the day—on that point, too.)
Reading: Finished up Making Money and have now started The Demon King and I by Candace Havens. One of Texas heiress Gillian Caruthers’ jobs is keeping demons out of our world and in their own dimension. But what to do about the hot new demon king who looks all too human?
That never happens! Then I added the half page. We now know the identity of the killer! (Well, I’ve known for awhile now, but you know what I mean.) We just don’t know why. (And I’m waiting for elucidation—that’s my ten dollar word for the day—on that point, too.)
