So, no thousand words yesterday but I gave it a good try.
Job interview for Katie today; so pleased.

Job interview for Katie today; so pleased.
Also wrote a song “The Angry Chicken / When I’m Dead” day before yesterday. Job interview, to the extent one can tell, went well. I’ll know late next week.
I’m so proud of the kids for giving blood yesterday.
I just realized that a feature of sixer communication is affecting how information is diffused through their culture. Since communication is strongly dyadic, and they only have mass meetings once in a very long while and not very well, even with all of the communication options open to them in modern times they want information gathering to either be directed toward personal contact with a single individual, or self-directed research.
Thank you to Paul for singing and playing yesterday.
Yes, some progress. (Varisha and Theo) No word on the job yet, but I am not expecting it until today, sometime.
Really enjoying Fringe. I didn’t watch it while it was on – Jeff watched it or most of it. The interactions between the characters are wonderful, and the pseudo-science is all delightfully creepy, sometimes straight up horrific – very well done for television. We’re in the second season.
When will I be a grownup again?
20489 words. This is disgusting, I have to buckle down.
Pata Pata is one of the background songs!!!
I’m worried about friends in that useless time of day when you can’t call them to check up on them. By the time the sun’s up I’ll have forgotten to call them again.
I’m seeing Marian Call today in concert. I saw her at the second Conflikt and she’s only gotten better since then.
Today’s excerpt from WIP
Phokas was tricky in some ways. He refused to do scripted advertising, and each time someone tried to get him to give a technical review of any product hoping for a quote, he’d start with an encyclopedic description of what was wrong with it, starting with screw placements, then working his way up through components, cabinetry, UI, placement of buttons, finish, appearance, packaging, accompanying documents, and ending with a grudging, “It works okay, I guess.” But if he liked a product he’d use it so that the product name was easily seen, and the advertisers loved that to bits.
I was JUST ABOUT to go on Patreon and now the fucking bean counters have destroyed the platform for small contributors.
I do not want to give up white bread. I really don’t.
Anyway, I am very slowly pushing my diet away from sugar, meat and cheese toward fresh fruit, four ounces of meat protein a day or less, more whole grains. This on top of abandoning alcohol is making me feel rather sad.
But my digestion is tip top, seriously.
A dear friend is experiencing puzzlements and unlooked-for portents of ill-health. I don’t know how else to put it, and I don’t have permission to say anything else.
The job interview went fine. Now I wait for about a week to get a second interview, and then I probably don’t wait at all; if I get it I’ll be starting the next day.
I’m going to a house concert on Sunday, yay. Very amusingly I wrote a house concert with this particular artist into my fanfic, so now I’ma hafta redecorate that scene somewhat with some reality.
Just turned a bi poly gal onto the Simple little system scene in Bells are Ringing which has both Lesbian and Black representation IN A FIFTIES MUSICAL god I love being able to twist people like that.
Tammy is home from Thailand, and how good to hear her voice on the phone.
Writing has slowed to a crawl because obliviously, while I’m trying to stay calm the prospect of employment has me somewhat agitated upstairs.
Katie and Alex over briefly yesterday so Katie could trim my hair for the job interview. I briefly considered dyeing me hairs and just as swiftly folded the idea away.
Katie then took to me church for the bake sale. To thank Peggy for her hospitality over the past weekend I volunteered for table duty.
As soon as I sat down the woman I was sharing duties with said, and I quote, “What are you doing here?”
My response was a stunned, “Can I assume from that that you don’t want me here?”
She mumbled something and we ignored each other for the next hour. She got up and left, and I stayed.
Numbers of other people, including Ivy (who’s 90 this year God love her) and Rob and Marylke and Jean and Laura came by and hugged me and said they were glad to see me, but picture if you will how I literally had to steel myself in advance to go and…. well….
I spent twenty dollars on treats. I am putting them out a little at a time…
I made contact with someone who heard my plans for a parody TedX talk with great amusement and who can actually get me into the venue to film if I want to so I was like WAAAAA HOOOOO
After church, until after supper, we went back to the Lunders and there was very little filking, we mostly talked. It was very interesting and we talked a lot about intersectionality but I sure would have enjoyed seeing more of the Jeri Lynn & Jeffsters
Day before that singing and playing and eating at the Lundervilles…..
In a few hours I’ll be getting on a bus and going to a job interview unless I can coax Jeff into giving me a lift in his BRAND NEW USED RAV4 yes Jeff purchased a car. I’m pleased he got the car he researched as being his best option but one always has feels for such a big ticket item.
19674 is word count
So the Lunderbake of 2017 is underway, and here’s me and Jeff C tandem playing dulcimers.
There were so many lovely moments yesterday, herewi(s)h a string of pearls..
Paul took me out to Oakalla, and then Pho Edmonds, then a little schlepping, then his place for neckrubs and musical stylings, and then I got to talk to Katie for a while, and then he gave a lift home.
Sometime yesterday I learned that Keith purchased his first vehicle. It is a forest green Echo. There are now three Echos parked outside — shit, can I still call it Planet Bachelor when there’s a toddler running around? It’s not seemly. Perhaps something else?
19391 words on HOTM. Plugging away on my hurtfic for Destiel, plus another more Harlequinny Destiel, plus the Robot Love Destiel. Also I’m working on edits for SOTW.
Jeff took me to Thor Ragnarok yesterday. I super enjoyed it, it was a noisy fun bit of spun sugar. It was interesting to me that it was more important to save the people than Asgard. Also, Tom Hiddleston flatly refuses to stop being yummy, and Chris Hemsworth is LUMPY WIT’ MUSCLE but still really cute. I think Taika Waititi did a great job of directing, and I think the fight scenes went on too long, so that’s me.
Season 6 of Longmire is excellent and Katee Sackhoff’s eyes crossing as she was ‘bleeding out’ was some of the wildest acting I’ve ever seen. Zahn McLarnon, A. Martinez, Lou Diamond Phillips, Tantoo Cardinal and Graham Greene are all fucking standouts.
love long hair on boys sigh
progressing slowly – writing two chapters at the same time and they’re different in tone to keep me sharp
