Get Your Kicks on Route 66....
Despite a shaky start to things Monday and the fact that my hip is experiencing epic problems, yesterday turned out to be a pretty good day.

summoneddestiny dropped by after work to hang out for a little while. We spent most of our time on our favorite subject: authors! And, subsequently, writing. I actually did overcome my writer's block a little to get some fic written last night. But mostly we discussed the ever-popular Mercedes Lackey - dissection of the specific cultures she's clumsily and ham-fistedly appropriated - and a hilarious comparison between Anne Rice and Stephanie Meyer. Interestingly enough, when dissecting their work side by side, there are some glaring and detailed similarities that can be eyebrow raising.
We grabbed a quick dinner, went into the square to take some pictures, and just had a relaxing afternoon. Then N came over for a little while, and we hung out on the porch having one of those meandering, deep thought type conversations. We somehow managed to start out on a very introspective discussion comparing and contrasting the philosophical schools of Jainism to Carvaka and end up on the archetypal symbolism of supporting characters in The Venture Bros.
I love my friends.
Then there was just vegging in front of the TV untilnijawial got in and I very, very much needed to get to bed.
I've been hearing a lot about the new FMA series, but haven't been able to watch any of it. My computer doesn't have sound. I consider this a mixed blessing situation. ;)
I also got the bathroom entirely cleaned! And got to creep people out my showing them the effects of my deformed hip. :D It's just gotten to the point where my right leg is now significantly shorter than my left. I have to bend my left leg to stand properly, and when I straighten up I only stand on one foot. This amuses me - except for the pain in my hip, but I have stuff for that.
