So tomorrow is Saturday. And more, tomorrow is a Saturday where I have no social plans at all (not only a rare occasion, practically an unheard of one). So...<br /><br />...my mother is coming over to help me get some pictures on the walls (I have a bad back and I'm not allowed to work the hammer), drive me to look at a cat tree, and keep my stepdad from chopping his own leg off with a machete while he's working in my backyard. (We're a very close family. We're also the sort of family that believes flea marketing and gardening with a machete is a great way to spend a weekend. I love my family.)<br /><br />...I'm finally going to get my new scanner installed and, hopefully, functional. I managed to clear a space for it in the cupboard right next to my workspace, which means I will no longer need to balance my laptop on my hip while trying to scan standing up. That's sort of scary. It also means I need to get back into the habit of inking while I watch television (I've been slipping lately, largely because it's not like I can <i>scan</i> anything).<br /><br />...I'm planning to hit <i>Late Eclipses of the Sun</i> with an even bigger hammer, in the hopes that I can actually get some of the lumps out of the damned thing. It just did that thing where I realize that chapter sixteen is actually chapter twelve, and all the events I thought I had nailed down suddenly shift around. This has never failed to result in a better book. It's still a headache while it's happening.<br /><br />...the Science-Fiction Channel is doing an all-day marathon of bad horror. Guess what <i>my</i> sanity check is going to be?<br /><br />Have a fabulous weekend, all. I'm going to get some sleep before the hectic starts.
