Ovsanna's Latest Beautiful Fan Art!
My wonderful Russian artist, Ovsanna, had some fun with Seregil: "Well this is a belated congratulations-you know what for(Casket of Souls of course) and also a little cheer up gift (glad to know that your Superman is OK)
Well I did this doodle like pic. some time ago-just allowed myself to speculate a little about "Lord" Seregil's adventures in "preAlec" times. I somehow wanted to draw him wearing a "tricorn" hat though I know that it does not suite the described fashion. But I think it becomes him(anyway he is in disguise).Hope you do not mind my a wee bit frivolous prank."
Thank you Ovsanna!

Because Knitting Keeps My Head From Exploding
I put in a long and very productive day today, and earned a bit of knitting time tonight, watching recorded Prime Suspect. Finished up the baby sweater for my friend Nancy. Here it is, all blocked and drying but sans buttons. Same pattern as the green sweater, but a size larger.

Tea Break
Today's tea is Tejava's unsweetened tea over ice. It's a bottled tea, because I don't have time to make my own. It's a "microbrewed" tea, whatever that means-- brewed in a small cup? Made from tea leaves from Java, hence the name. It's ok, not great, but convenient, and improved somewhat by a succulent slice of Meyer's lemon. Not worth hunting down a link for this one.
I have written and edited my way back up to the climactic scene, and am putting on the final whistles and bells. Nothing but one last wrap up chapter to write, and that won't take long.
I hope that's the light at end of the tunnel I'm seeing, and not the light one goes into at the end of every Ghost Whisperer episode.

A Little Fun
You and I end up in a police car together: Using only 4 words, what would you say to me?

An Important Medical Breakthrough
I share this in the interest of science and in case anyone suffers from this malady. (this is for real)
From The New Scientist: "Masturbation calms restless leg syndrome"
Apparently it also wards off prostate cancer and helps hay fever.

The Real Tuesday Weld
I hate to admit how many great groups I've discovered through commercials, but here's another: The Real Tuesday Weld. Their music is as wonderfully weird as their name. (Actually, I think it's one guy). Sort of a mix of Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, and the Squirrel Nut Zippers. Enjoy!
