State of the Sooky

[valarltd]

This will be a regular, perhaps nightly feature.

Today:
Work: Rough. It's been rough all week
Shower. Love my shower.
Weight Watchers. Down 4.8 lbs! This puts me at 265.0. (264.2 is my low)
Dinner: out for 'za with Mudd
Scent of the day: Bordello. A decadent, deep perfume, lusty and luxuriant. The scent evokes images of velvet-lined Old West cathouses, tightly laced corsets, rustling petticoats and coquettish snarls of pleasure. Bawdy plum with amaretto, burgundy wine and black currant. Smells like Bonne Bell's Sugar Plum lipgloss that I wore in 7th grade...very iffy on this one but Dollface likes it on me.
Writing: edited Showdown at Yellowstone River. 505 words on the airship pirates. Count=23530
FLYing: made bed, shined sink, did the Kitchen Mission (scrub counters). Had kids do the laundry mission.
Reading: Deviations IV: Bondage by Jodi Payne and Chris Owen
Tarot Meditation for the Day: Six of Swords. A young man sits in a swan boat propelled by a spectre toward a green island, six swords in the gunwales. Movement away. Coming out of danger or the past. Alternatively, simply getting by. Functioning without dealing with the problems. The blues.

Tomorrow:
Work
Gas up car
Shower
Dinner
Writing
FLYing
Laundry
Cancelled out on ShadowCon

Visions of bordellos danced in their heads?

I think I remember that lipgloss. The color looked awful on me, but I felt so sophisticated wearing it.

I'll blog about the werewolf anthology in a day or so, but I've finished it. I liked it a lot! I was so tremendously tickled by "Cake Under the Mistletoe", with all the old in-jokes about Vampyres--even one about Dragon bringing the Chinese, of all things!

Fun, fun, fun, and good writing as usual! I must lend it to firefly67, who will enjoy it as well.

I am so intrigued by "Meanwhile Back at the Ranch". It's one of the most interesting zombie stories I've read for a while. I read Cherie Priest's Boneshaker right afterwards, and it bored me stiff. I would far rather have read more about Cat and Amanda and Half-Moon and family.

I'm glad you enjoyed Howl. "Ranch" is one of my all-time favorite stories. I considered doing it novcel length, but I don't think there is enough to support a full novel.
