Assorted random Tuesdayness

annathepiperYesterday I devoted my day off to writing like a mad writing thing. I broke 2K in one day, which I hadn't done in a while, and which was extremely satisfying. I have aspirations of breaking 20K on Queen of Souls before the end of the month. And it would be extra nice to have enough of it done to query by spring. We'll see if I can pull it off.
For the sake of getting out of the house at least for a while, though, I stepped out to run errands with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
solarbird. We hopped the 331 to go over to Home Depot and pick up light bulbs, and on the way home we stopped at Lake Forest Park to drop off a library book. I ducked into Third Place on general principles and scarfed a couple more books: Anne Perry's A Sudden, Fearful Death (the fourth William Monk book) and one called A Cup of Light, by Nicole Mones. jessicac recommended the latter, surmising that I might like it. After reading about it on Amazon, I decided she might be right.
And in other book news (specifically of interest tocafiorello, as well as amiable_geek in case he happens to read this), I've finally started on The Spartacus File. It took a bit to get me hooked, but it finally did when I realized that I need to read it without taking it too seriously. Once I did that, it started being fun. It's a light, fast, engaging read, and I'm looking forward to finishing it off.
It was actually Not Raining this morning, wonder of wonders. Which is good, because I had the feeling i was trying to fight something off yesterday. This is what I get for walking to and from work in cold rain in JANUARY in shorts, I suppose, but I have only a few viable pairs of pants. I guess I need more. Foo.
Snurched fromgamera_spinning, I report that there is a trailer out for a movie called Slither. However, I am not sure that even the lovely and talented Nathan Fillion, who appears to be starring in it, is enough to get me to go see a horror movie involving leeches. Even a comedic horror movie. Sigh. And we get this instead of more Serenity. Sniffle sniff.
On the other hand, the lovely and talented Mr. Crowe has announced his and his wife Danielle's impending second child. I'm for it. Here's hoping additional daddyhood will help further calm that boy down.
Tonight: more writing, and possibly finishing off the prologue for QoS!
Monday miles: 1.8
Tuesday morning miles: 1.6
Miles out of Hobbiton: 624.85
Miles out of Rivendell: 166.85
Miles to Lothlórien: 297.15
