Bleeding Fiction

It's sometimes a danger to have as large a music collection as I do, especially when you combine that with a five-disc CD changer. I bought a Phish album, Billy Breathes, the other day. Today I put it in the CD player along with a few other CDs, ones I'd owned for a while but hadn't listened to recently. Billy Breathes came on, but I thought it was something else. "Damn," said I, "this is really good. Why don't I listen to this more?" It was about fifteen minutes before I realized that I don't listen to it more because I'd never owned it before yesterday.

My drive comes as a result of my new desk. It's remarkable how much energy one suddenly has for getting things done when one can sit upright and spread papers around a flat surface rather than reclining all the time. The weekend was a little busy with finishing a fellowship application, going to Best Buy, getting my internet to work (sadly a temporary state of affairs - I'm back to pirating, for now) and a few other things, but even still I managed to write four fables (so far) and re-read most of Fire and Jade so I can get back to the second draft. I haven't touched that manuscript since around May and I'm happy to report that it's not as bad as I remember it being.

Now, I'm bound by a rule to not frolic like a school girl. I extend that to giggling like a school girl, squealing with delight like a school girl or doing anything else that a school girl may do in her own fashion. If there's anything that could've made me come close, though, it was these first two episodes of the new Ah! My Goddess series. Bless you, Ben, for pointing it out to me. It's expanded from the OVA (more like the manga? Not really from what I remember, but that was years ago.) and comfortingly familiar. Many of the voice actors are even the same. Neat!
