Sunday morning, spam post of the day

“Great hammer of Thor, that is powerfully hlefpul!”

Glad I could be of service.

In other news, it’s a sunny, calm morning…as long as the dog across the street doesn’t bark at folks walking/biking on the trail, setting off mine in the process.

I wish this were Saturday. I need a weekend reboot.

Music. Ivy released a new collection after years of gafiating. I like All Hours quite a bit, but I’m an 80s/90s pop/electronica fan. Lush. St Etienne. Delerium. Belle & Sebastian. The aforementioned Ivy. Good background music for sunny fall days.

Oh well, need to work. One load of laundry in the washer, another in the dryer. Morning’s almost gone. Sundays are, I swear, at least 30% shorter than other days.

Kale chips

Yes, they’re pretty good. But if you’ve ever roasted the hell out of Brussels sprouts, the outer leaves peel off and crisp up pretty much the same way. Taste is pretty close. And they’re more like chips/a little easier to handle.

Roasting sprouts do smell stronger, however.

Story seeds

When I think of stories-as-novel, I think in tight 3rd person. Short stories, for some reason, all seem to want to be 1st person.

Yes, something kicked me when I should have been working on something else. Dammit.
