Live Another Day....

First off, many apologies to all who pinged me on Gchat last night. I was off bleaching some undershirts that had gotten mysteriously stained, and then vegged out on the couch for a while.

I'm over at my sister's. I'm feeling relatively sick today, and I don't know if it's just because I got so little sleep last night, or there's something that needs seeing to. My insomnia has returned with a vengeance, and I managed maybe a few hours last night.

I wanted to bring D the Halfblood Chronicles, but I'm lending out every single copy of the first book. (Except for my nice hardcover, but that stays on my shelf.) I still need to replace the third book, too. I figure it's high time she moved on to glittery elves. ;)

I was tempted to bring her some other Mercedes Lackey books - she's been warned - but really, I don't think she'd she enjoy the SERRAted Edge series - sure you've got sparkly elves, but they're sparkly racecar driving elves. A pity I can't find my copies of the Bardic Voices books, I think she'd like those.

My god, is there a classic rock band Dream Theater can't cover? I adore their Pink Floyd covers, but their Queen and their Zeppelin, their Genesis and their Kansas are just as amazing. And for bizarre, fannish reasons, them doing a cover of 'Carry On My Wayward Son' makes me extremely happy. (I know half my Flist associates this song with SPN, but for me, it will always be James' song.)

The kids are doing chores and I'm trying to kick my brain into gear. I have a ton of epic plots going on right now!

And I shall share another one of my little Henry observations: Henry is, arguably, one of the nicest, gentlest, sweet guys. And yet...he's most comfortable with one of the bloodiest, most violent melee weapons there is.

I wonder if I can make a plea for Burger King for lunch....

Yo Ho Ho....

OKAY! SO!

It's Pirate Week over at CU, and anyone who's been here for a while knows I love Pirate AUs more than anything else, ever. And while my ladies are not too thrilled with this turn events, Henry is having a grand old time. so I've been happily playing, and nijawial and I have been talking about it, and....

SHE DREW ME PIRATE!HENRY!

( First Mate Henry Townshend and...Um... Shutterbug )

Yes, his rabbit has an eyepatch. (In the long, long tradition of my primary male character ending up with a pet, Henry has a pair of rabbits.) Isn't it adorable?

I need to iconize this STAT!
