Bed now

And 33,180 words, very close to tonight's needed goal but I simply can't write another word and MUST! SLEEP!

The Surprise is coming over the horizon...

I can see her sails now! Tomorrow, I go to see Master and Commander with mamishka and solarbird. Today will be devoted to twitching in appropriate anticipation and casting constant glances at the poster on the wall beside me. Er, not that I don't do that anyway, but! ;)

I am given to understand that M&C got beaten out by Elf this past weekend. This is a truly SAD state of affairs, and I may have to go see M&C an extra time or two just to make up for this, because CLEARLY Captain Aubrey requires my assistance!

I have now read Strong Poison...

... the fourth of the Lord Peter Wimsey novels, in which he meets Harriet Vane and falls in love with her at first sight. I was absolutely and utterly charmed. Especially by his first scene with Harriet. And the line "She smiled suddenly at him and his heart turned to water." Awwww. And the half-bold, half-self-deprecating, and completely charming way he had of confessing his feelings to her. Especially when he joked about running home to his mother. "It's the one and only woman and she's going through the most ghastly, awful thing and for God's sake hold my hand!" Hee hee hee.

Word count for the night

It's short again but this is what I get for being tired tired tired: 34,231. I must sleep, perchance to dream, and on the morrow there will be MOVIE.

We'll have to see how many words I can write on a day that involves a Russell Crowe flick. ;)
