Agglutinative journalling.

We'll see where this goes over the course of the day.


Still arguing with the gods-be-feathered migraine fairy. (Also have an intermittent sore throat.) When I was younger, my migraines were much more painful, but only tended to have an effect for a few hours. With occasional visual effects, mostly tunnel vision. These days I get them for three to five days but generally less painfully, with moderately common technicolour spiders, but I don't get them anywhere near as often. (The frequency thing is partly, I suspect, stress; I found my schooling days tremendously hard to deal with and stress is a major trigger.)

Apparently there's a new domestic violence survey out in the UK, and it's been reported as "one in four women should expect to be victims of domestic violence" and "very few men". Looking at the figs quoted by the BBC, that "very few" is "one in five". And abused women are twice as likely to report as abused men. Details, details.

Spent a while talking to oneironaut last night about one of the subplots in the WIP, and got told that it was interesting. I just hope I can write it well; I'm a little worried about having bits of it that come out come out as raw infodump, and that wouldn't be half as much fun. I also know how this chapter ends, I think, and how to carry it over into the next one.

Trying to decide if I want to get a one-day for Boskone tomorrow. Need to talk with teinedreugan about whether he'd like to do something of the sort.

I like sinboy's thought about anti-war sentiment through commercialism. Buy French and German products!

Speaking of world politics, I would like Colombia to stop now please.

I'm often perplexed by the things teinedreugan is certain I've seen. I haven't, really. Though I suspect I should know who the hell Nicholas Cage is for other reasons, which is why I asked who the heck he was.

Ten Things I Hate About You is not so bad for a V-Day flick. I think there's something satisfactory about the whole knee sequence, though I don't know if I'm pleased by the same one keeps is. ("I shall stop thy mouth with a kiss!" Different play. But even so.)

Okay, following Ten Things with "This is crime Friday!" just about cracks me up. Bikers! Big ones! Full of sperm!

I'm amused by my character on Tenebrae, yes, yes. Inbred, indeed. And scavenger. I'm going to enjoy her. (Then again, any character who might say "I expect to spend several worthwhile decades here" in casual conversation is entertaining.)

Still headachey. Not going to feel guilty about spending time roleplaying when I'm stuck on this transition. I'm just going to get through the transition before I go to bed.

My much tinkered-with hot chocolate recipe thing is a tremendous goodness, but I am somewhat uncertain how well it goes with egg noodles. Ah well.

I think I'm somewhat perturbed and amused that I can interpret some of oneironaut's unflagged twitches accurately enough for communication. Is this part of being cute?

A little under a thousand words yesterday, a little over a thousand words today. And I know I'm not up to formulating a description of this building without more thought that I'm not competent to do with my head hurting like this, so I'll stop here and go to bed in another hope that it will stop.


So, in summary of the day: I want my head to stop hurting. I got a decent bit of work done -- 2037 words in the last two days. I am very, very stray sometimes. Those of us who are easily amused have more fun. The changer is as often, weirdly appropriate.

Very few means...

That it's less than women ight have, and the aurhor doesn't want to admit that 20% isn't that much less likely than 25%.
