Raising the Storm
New Words: 0 words
Reason for stopping: Er, see above....
Tea: Chai
Music: Mostly what was on the really crappy dance radio station Carried had it tuned unto. Cleared that out with soem Midnight Oil, though.
Can't stop fidgeting: More drilling on the sumamry, then I made two significant lists; a compilation of all the character names and titles, and one of weird terms, be they apparantly English or otherwise.
Inevitable Asides: Had![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
abacchus and _aura_ over, as the smallest salmon Colin could buy was still too much for two people. Played a round of Starfarers of Catan, which was much fun, and generally had good company. Thus the not writing, wnad not feelign too guilty over it. This time.

Raising the Storm
New Words: 850 words
Reason for stopping: Brain melt. I had to look up a word that's been on the tip of my tongue for weeks, and it felt like the right reason to stop. (I did finish the sentence with the word in it. But that was as much as I could manage.)
Tea: Decaf Green with Lotus.
Music: Sarah Slean, Night Bugs, Richard Thompson, Walking the Long Miles Home (Collection disc 1)
Mean Things: Being told he's a nobody.
Can't stop fidgeting: Added some more proper names and terms to the lists I'm compiling of same, currently within the summary file.
Inevitable Asides: It sounds as though Jeff has arrived safely, if later than planned, in Houston.
Also, found a skirt for the wedding coming up tomorrow, and started bridal dress shopping with Sis. This time I get to play dress-up with her! She has some idea what she wants, which helps, as I had none, but so far we've tried a couple of very nice gowns that don't have that particular look.
I may end up in red (which would make this far too much of a direct reversal), depending which part of the Stewart tartan they choose to use as a unifying colour for the party. (Which they'll probably need. Both sides of the wedding party are mixed gender, and I'm pretty sure the guy on Sis's side won't go with a dress... I do keep wanting to show her this or this as ideas for something that could be converted to a unisex look, provided the men be confident about slightly historical styles - and I suspect something of the like would look killer with a good kilt - and the women be fitted right. Oh, and tailored somewhere that doesn't cost a grand or more per. Then again, this will be an August wedding, so velvet jackets are probably out.)
