Sunburned Anna

mamishka came over to hang out, which was very fun! We all went down to the Sunday market in Lake Forest Park, where we got the usual assortment of tasty market goods. Then, since Meems hadn't been through Log Boom Park yet, we walked back to MurkNorth via the Burke-Gilman trail and hung out by the lake for a while. We spotted several big birds, most likely eagles, flying in low over the water--we're pretty sure they were fishing. And we also saw a bunch of ducks, including two baby ducks, and OMG THE CUTENESS. Especially when one of them cheeped I'd never seen a real baby duck before or heard one cheep! And After that we hung out at the Murk and watched the first two episodes of the new season of The Dead Zone, finally. Fifth season gets off to a bit of a shaky start, but it's still pretty watchable. We'll see how it holds up through the forthcoming episodes.
As a result of that little frolic out into the sunshine, though, I am totally sunburned. I was silly enough to go out wearing a tank top and no sunscreen, and so I'm not only sunburned, I've got weird tan lines to show for it. It doesn't hurt--but I do feel it. It helped thatsolarbird smeared fresh aloe off her plant in our bathroom over my pink bits, though. That was unbelievably refreshing; fresh aloe is indeed incredible stuff. Dara's making me put it on my surgery scar on my throat, too, to see what that does. Dara, Meems, and spazzkat all claimed that it's already doing something, though I haven't really been able to tell yet past wondering if it's starting to change color. And that might just be because of summer sun exposure.
No sign yet of either of the manuscript acknowledgement postcards I included with the partials that went to Bantam; we'll see if either or both of those show up this week. Happily, I have plenty to work on in the meantime to keep me distracted--and although the lion's share of my writing attention still has to go to Queen of Souls, I am totally in the mood for the Shenner book right now thanks to re-reading all of my and Meems' old Paul and Shen logs. The oldest of which, I might add, are nearly ten years old. Yoiks. :)
And I am also totally in an Elvis mood, thanks to those pretty, pretty icons. Damn. I've missed him. That got fed by reading all the times I had Shen do (mutated) versions of Elvis songs in the logs, too! :)
