Urgh. I had an interesting morning moving a certain food item from "suspected IBS trigger" to "confirmed IBS trigger". So I only had time to make a brief call on brooksmoses and suzimoses before heading to San Jose to meet up with a bunch of Rumor Millers. Had a most excellent time, though I left early because I didn't fancy driving home in the dark on unfamiliar roads when it was raining and I still wasn't feeling that wonderful. A good decision, I think, because for a second or so at an intersection I forgot which side of the road they drive on in this country, and it was only seeing which way the parked cars were facing that reminded me *before* I found myself on the wrong carriageway of a dual carriageway.

No fiction writing yesterday, and Friday's fiction word count was 163 words scribbled on my Palm while I was sitting on a tram with nothing better to do than write porn... Only 163 because I started getting travel-sick after that, but it's useful to get on with the Graffiti program on the Palm. 1100 words today, finishing both sex scene and chapter, and starting chapter 8. Dealing with pronouns in an m/m/m is not fun, but with any luck the next chapter will be easier because it will not involve having to make clear which body part belongs to whom.

And I won a book by accident on the Romance Junkies mailing list. By accident, because I don't normally enter mailing list contests - not when I have a To Be Read stack dating back to the road trip before Boston Worldcon. It's not fair to other people on the lists who might actually read their prize sometime this decade. But this was a random draw from people who'd posted that day, and it happened to be one of the rare days when I was making conversation. And it was by an author who had already been discussed on the list that day in terms to make me think I should at least check her out at the library. :-)

It was very good to see you this evening. In a way I'm sorry I didn't leave with you - driving home in the dark in the rain was no fun. But I got home without incident.

For some reason (possibly because I'm still angsting over the fight scene, and pronouns are part of the problem), I find myself wondering how people deal with pronouns in skirmish scenes. Must dig around for some Warhammer tie-in novels (acquired for that purpose) to remind myself.

What, no mention of the book that we tried to convince you to take home so that you could to a parodic takeoff of it?

It was quite good to see you, even if only for a brief time.

It was late, and I was tired. :-)

I'd intended to go around to your place earlier than that, but I didn't actually feel well enough to go out until about 3 o'clock. :-(

If I'd realised you were now living quite that close to me I'd have called in long since. But I think you moved when I was elsewhere, and it didn't really register on me at the time...

I've done the 'so tired I drove onto a road and had to think about which side to drive on before.

I managed to logic my way to the right side of the road before anything came along, but I don't ever want to do that again.
