My, the sunporch upstairs is nice.  Why don't I write here more often?  Oh, yes, because there's no artificial lightning and this recliner is broken.

It has been a busy and productive weekend-- in the friend-visiting, economy-stimulating, social-work sense of "productive."  I affirmed my visceral hatred for Sterling Heights and its environs and I intend to withdraw from respectable society for the rest of the evening.

Also, I bought four different scents of bath salt today (rose, lilac, lavender, and "stress relief") and one of 'em is getting used tonight.

Feeling very distracted in terms of writing-- actually sitting down and finishing anything I really want to finish is a challenge at present.  I got a lot deeper into "Palindrome," I've been kicking around Chapter 14 of "Starchild," and I've been toying with a dive into the backstabbery of FE3/12, but something's disconnected right now.  It may be the heat.

I am feeling resentful about my upcoming business trip to Las Vegas, not least because the place where I have to stay charges fifteen bucks a night for 'Net usage.  Yes, I realize they want to give me no incentive whatsoever to stay in my room and not drink/gamble/hit the shows, but it still pisses me off.  I'm not there because I want to be.  I'm there because someone is making me go to a conference.  The least I should be allowed is to write kink meme fills on my off-hours.  

Also, Vegas in June?  Too.  Damned.  Hot.

I wish the conference was in, like, Anchorage.  Or Reykjavik.  Or Australia... it's almost winter there now.

I went to a cooking class at Sur la Table yesterday.  Made prosciutto-wrapped scallops, Thai beef skewers, awesome chutney-topped crostini, and chocolate-chunk bread pudding bites.  That was great, great fun, but I won't do it again unless invited by my Oakland County friends because it's clear across "town" at the Somersault Somerset Collection.  On the plus side, I got to keep the recipe book.

Hah! Casino Khadein-- I like it.

Yeah, I may just hole up and write sans Internet. It's what I used to do before we got the wireless, anyway.
