selkie at 08:40am on 28/10/2004So far this morning, I have done the following:
Scanned a couple chunks of the Aeneid, my timewaster of choice, looking for something my brain wanted to snarfle around. Dido took For-Frigging-Ever to die. No wonder the Romans were all 'Carthago delenda est'. Dude.
Flicked through YIVO-Bleter and Di Goldene Keyt for interbellum folk variants on a shape-shifting woman. Fruitless. Well, you had your basic and ever-present lilitu, but I wanted a human woman changing shape, not a demon-critter.
Listened to a lot of my available playlist, trying to find something good to write by.
Done some... editing... on the present for my girl, which is now technically belated because I am a sodding perfectionist who can't stop tweaking. I am a tweak twink.
Elgar! I want some Elgar! Failing that, some Rachmaninoff! Bring me it!
....seriously. If anyone has the Du Pre Elgar, would you slap it up on Yousendit? For lo, I crave it for writing.
...And the cat says:
My human likes words.
I like food in my bowl. Dark!
When these needs conflict.

Dude, WERD. She probably tops my list of Most Hated Fictional Characters Of All Time just because of her ridiculously extended death scene. Also, the whininess. DER GOD the whininess. O_
