"It's very hard to keep momentum when it's you that you are following"

(and incidentally I played the Evita soundtrack in the lab the other day, and was reminded how much I like the song "High Flying Adored"... not that this is actually related to anything)

So I'd find it easier to stay awake later and interface with everyone else in the world if I didn't keep waking up in the wee hours of the night. But this particular moring, I had a sudden moment of thinking "Hey! It's November!" and thus it is time to drag my brain back into gear (or, um, turn onto a different road, more like; it's not as if I haven't been thinking, although my metaphors are getting odder and odder...) and WRITE THINGS!!! NaNonanonano... (I even have, based on the last version, an estimated 51k or so still to write)

Um, yeah, don't mind me. :)

Argent and the Frogs, that was it.

sigh...

killing time before rock climbing (since it's only 10 mins or so from the lab...)

Brian's band (which plays something rock-like... not entirely sure what) has a gig in Georgetown tonight, with a couple other bands of different genres... One of them he started telling us about: "It's not Albatross, not Asbestos-- Alabaster!" Jillian and I laughed at him.

And I'm thinking about chapter seven, and I don't remember quite how I worked it out before. But I have this sudden and horrible desire to model Dionysis after one of my less-favorite coworkers... I don't know if I have sufficient talent for voice to make that apparent to anyone else (which is probably just as well...) but, um, well never mind. It's entirely possible that no one outside my head would know that was insulting, anyway. Meanwhile, I looked up the bit from chapter 8 on my character list, and I'm horribly confused by what order I seem to have put the events in. Not that it matters... I have a relatively good theory on how to make all that work (well, except for the question of why Sinbad takes it into his head to go fishing-- wait, wait! I just remembered; I think Ceridwen suggested it to him! ok, that's all right...) but I have to get there first.
