lenora_roseWe have a houseguest; a pinkpurple-haired SCA member from Calgary who'll be moving here later this year and needs to look at houses. She's rather friendly and quite nice and loves cats, so it's been going pretty well, considering this was the first time we met face to face.
The three-jobs thing is working okay so far, but it is going to run into some tension in July when the SMD people go on holidays but the RCC's big seasonal rush is only petering out, not petered.
I hate canker worms. Not as much as I do tent caterpillars, mind, but the city is not currently infested with tent caterpillars nor likely to be again for some long time. But tomorrow I'm trying a totally different route to work, because it is very much NOT nice to be walking past a heavily-treed park on a heavily treed street.
Not much writing done lately; a scene finished by hand and partly revised onto the computer. But I made 3/4 of a mouse head, pottery wise, the other day. And put up more of the cell-cup photos on flickr.
Been reading various Alan Moore comics lately, mostly fromt he library. Promethea's first two volumes were good until it hit two issues of ramblings about magic and myth; I'm hoping for more story if I should pick up volumes 3-5. League of Extraordinary Gentlemen volume one was the same as it was when I read it the first time (I own it but hadn't read it in a while); good, squicky, excellent and not by turns, and volume 2 was similar, not as much weaker as some people suggested. But it did highlight a common theme in Moore's work of attractive women getting involved with unattractive men - only Watchmen seems to have escaped, and even it made the guy overweight, if good-looking.
I also picked up Bear's Dust from the library so I can finish it.
