A vial or two low.

There is an avenging angel, or perhaps a tormenting demon, reserved for doctors who have their patients give two urine tests within fifteen minutes of each other.

Without mentioning the second one at the time of the first.

Well, I got a fair amount of reading about the development of Byzantine dogma done, at least.

And I crave Chinese food something fierce. Good Chinese food, not merely decent Chinese food. Tried to call teinedreugan at the office to ask him to pick something up for me at Mary's, but he'd left already. In fact, he picked me up halfway through my walk home, which means that he probably was nowhere near Cambridge when I tried calling.

On a lighter note, elisem posted one of her occasional conversation-provoking questions, and now I want to know how people would answer it too: What would you put in a bottle to represent me? What would you put in a bottle to represent you?

You: Um. For some reason I'm thinking a big black and orange butterfly, but it would need to have teeth. It'd also need to be a big bottle.

Me: Right now, stacks of wooden beads, all different sizes, all painted different matt colours, not strung together.

A.
I keep wanting to say flutterby, but I'm not thinking fluttery.

I can't help but be reminded of the thread on rasfc where it was revealed that a butterfly once bit Mary Gentle.

Might I ask if there's a particular reason your beads aren't strung together?

[ailbhe]

If you tip my bottle and shake it around, the beads make different patterns. Change in form but not in substance. I think that's why.

I can see it, but I don't know how to say it. A liqiud which has swirls of opacity, translucence, glitter. The swirls twine around each other without mixing.

That's you. I've described mine on Elise's journal.

Hmm ... for you? A big, dark feather and maybe some small ones too, a papyrus top (what *are* those poofy things called? Are those actually blossoms?), and a cut red stone, a garnet or a very dark ruby, something like that.

For me? Erk. Um .... the only thing that keeps coming to mind is simply a bottle of sunlight. But that's so ... meh, I dunno. *small shrug*

You: One eight-sided and one twelve-sided die, in speckly green/brown range. A curl of birchbark. Small downy feathers in cloud-colors. A very atypical bell. Little bits of jet. Mead.

Me (from Elise's post): Ferns and horsetails. Broken-down wood and fir needles. Sea-wet grey sand. Heartsease and rosemary. Limeade without much sugar in. Rainwater.

[kiya]

mmmmmmmmmm, limeade.

(The mead I'm making at the moment has limes in.)
