Things I did yesterday.

1. Sketched and started inking my third possible Borderlands bookmark. See, Borderlands Books in San Francisco does limited-edition bookmarks with interesting art on them, and—after my signing/book release party/circus sideshow earlier this month—they invited me to design one of the upcoming bookmarks. As is so often the case when I am paralyzed by choice, I said "screw it," and am doing multiple bookmark designs for them to choose from. The first one, involving clownfish mermaids, is completely done; the second, involving seahorse mermaids, is in rough pencils with some inks; now, so is the third, involving Allomai and a fuck-ton of ribbons. I find this soothing and infuriating and an excuse to buy more art supplies. Everybody wins.

2. Bought the new Kelley Armstrong book, Frostbitten. This was sort of a comedy of errors, since the guy at Borders hadn't put it on the shelves yet, but had put it on the "we're putting this on shelves" cart, which meant there were no copies in the back of the store. I eventually located the cart, thus locating my book, and money was exchanged, rather than bloodshed.

3. Read the new Kelley Armstrong book, Frostbitten. What? I read fast. Also, it was so awesome I couldn't put it down. I love Kelley Armstrong's work so much.

4. Watched the final episode of season three of Primeval, the second-to-last episode of season one of Warehouse 13, and two more of the audition episodes for the current season of So You Think You Can Dance. A few people have informed me that they don't believe I watch as much television as I say I do. To them I say: you're probably right. I think I watch substantially more.

5. Sort of accidentally knocked out a thousand words on Deadline, which will get included in the next word count post, because I'm feeling too lazy to bother with doing that much math right now.

How about you?

Got up, checked e-mail, performed usual morning ablutions, drove to work.
Created ppt for meeting, went to meeting, went to another meeting, went to another meeting.
Sent e-mails to various people around the country based on discussions in meetings.
Sent out meeting notifications for today's meetings.
Collaborated on creation of another ppt for today's meeting/telecon.
Arranged splinter meeting, to take place after regular meeting.
Engaged in several hallway conversations, setting expectations for upcoming meetings.
Drove home.
Had dinner with pagawne and my mother.
Washed dinner dishes.
Watched part of Ken Burns PBS series on National Parks. Glad I'm recording it, because it's the only way I can see it all.
Read some while conversing with mother. (My mom engages very like Lily, from the way you've talked about Lily. Conversation with her is not an option.)

That's about it. As you can see, I didn't write anything of general interest to humanity in all that. So you're way ahead of me.

Lilly engages. She just engages on a Siamese level, which is to say, I work for her exclusively.
