Juggling (Organising the Long-Term To-Dos)

[kiya]

Writing:

• Finish The Devil's Due.
  
• Sort out what I'm writing next -- finish The Night's Tale, the long version of The Chosen, Otter's story, what?
  
• Finish outlining the jackal-spawned project, sort out what research I need to do, start fleshing those bones.
  
• Refine "Reunion", pick a market, and start trying to sell it.
  
• Finish plotting the opening FSM arc and start arguing with oneironaut about art. Website gnaw.

Edumacation:

• Read BU's packet, work on application. This means getting transcripts from Wellesley, Northeastern, and Kennesaw, among other things.
  
• Finish temple classes.
  
• Take notes on and pursue relevant distance study courses.
  
• Prep CHS thoughts.

Religious:

• Setekh statue.
  
• Set & Herw-Wr statue.
  
• Asar statue.
  
• Get back into habit of doing Rite regularly.
  
• Prep major offering and thanks for Set for His help. Redye hair.
  
• Set up a natron evaporation.
  
• Try to find chest as base for akhu shrine.
  
• Work on design for naos.
  
• Chew on the design for the UPG site, learn how to play with SQL.

Business stuff:

• Start collecting reference materials and resources for clay and glazes.
  
• Study kiln designs and figure out what I need.
  
• Price wheels.
  
• Sort out basic supplies.
  
• Contemplate the metal-bearing clays that trinker told me about on alt.poly lo so long ago, too. Though that's probably a someday-pipe-dream as of yet. But so shiny.
  
• Chew on website a bit.

Misc:

• Get a frame for the print of the Hwt-Herw piece ursulav did.
  
• Start work on tinkering with incenses. (Work on the pine needle one for dirtydianadd.)
  
• Stop fucking up relationships.
  
• Contact the Jardine breeder who has black-wings.
  
• Replace the plants that died. Again.
  
• Finish painting the upstairs hallway.
  
• Clean office.
  
• Get rid of this damn migraine, or take ibnfirnas's advice and get a good veil.
  
• Anything I've forgotten.

That should keep me busy for a few years.

Hmm -- is this metal-bearing clay just something like a mixture of clay and bronze powder, or is it something more complicated than that?

[larksdream]

Replace the plants that died. Again.

Oh no, not the ones that you sent me a pic of? What happened?

[kiya]

Some of them died. (Like the one this userpic is of.) Others are okay.

Mostly I'm still learning how not to kill houseplants. . .

Silver and gold flakes, more like. It's called Precious Metal Clay. Basically, it's high-tech juju where one can work the clay with one's hands and fire it in a normal kiln, at which point the organics burn off and you're left with 99+% pure gold or silver finished pieces.

This is Vastly Nifty. It also costs an arm and a leg for the raw materials.

Is that Otter's Tale as in Norse mythology, or something else? (If you don't mind saying, of course).

[kiya]

Ooh, what's the Norse story? Can you tell it or aim me at a link? *scurries off to peer at google and see if she can find it* (I don't know it.)

Otter is a character who came to me a while back; she's the character referred to in this journal entry from a while back.

Here you go.

Thanks much!

Hnn, this is part of the story that Wagner bastardised. Good to see a more original version. So double thanks.
