Bits of this and that

[valis2]

The neck is feeling better. I wore a stick-on heating pad at work yesterday and it seemed to help a lot. Will wear one today as well.

Tomorrow I am going on a cemetery walk. I'm pretty geeked. I really hope the weather is decent so I can bring the camera.

I ended up having to break the next chapter up into three pieces. The first piece is still with mariannelee, who graciously is beta'ing it twice. It's kind of an important chapter and I really want to get it right.

LJ seems dead all of a sudden. Either that, or I'm not getting comment emails or something. Yesterday during work I went hours without any new emails, which is rare. Everybody must be running around enjoying the last of the non-freezing weather, I guess. My flist wasn't even over skip 30 this morning, which is also rare.

Have a great day, flist!

I love cemetary walks! It's fun to try to imagine what the people were like based on the little information on the stones.

There is a very old graveyard near me - apparently it had been neglected and forgotten for yonks, and finally the township did what they could to restore it. Sadly many of the stones were broken or lost, but it does give it that suitably creepy vibe. Several of the stones are for soldiers of the revolutionary war, which is pretty cool.

Once we were walking through there, and Charlie picked up the American flag from one of the soldier's grave, and I had to laugh. I told him he needed to put it back, and thought to myself 'or the soldier will start haunting us.' I explained why the flag was there, and now he thinks everyone buried in a cemetary was a soldier.

I should take him to Arlington.

Enjoy your walk!

I love cemeteries, and this one has been on my list for a very long time. It's very quaint and has a nice section of older stones, which is what I like best.

I will be taking pictures if the weather cooperates, and will share, of course! :)

Well... since you insist :)

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, I do, though it may be too late now. ;)

Everybody must live somewhere warmer than me, we have a high of 52 today, and it's 40 right now. Big high of 43 tomorrow. Too cold, too fast, dammit.

I just keep thinking of long months of having to dress in big heavy coats with boots and scarves and gloves...wah.

Heh. My LJ has become much deader since I stopped posting so often... and started leaving less comments. Sometimes I might even go for two whole days and not see a nice little white line in gmail! Oh, the horror of it all!

It has been quiet though... The fandom isn't as active as it used to be, and that seems to account for about 50% of my f-list postings. Probably yours, too.

Chapter broken in three? Hmmm... Hope it goes down well!

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Two days without a gmail? I'd go crazy! *laughs*

Yeah, I think that HBP really took the wind out of the sails somehow. I think it tied up a lot of loose ends that people were playing with a lot...

[aramintasnape.livejournal.com]

My flist is fairly quiet at the moment too. Mind you, I haven't posted anything much either - nothing interesting happening at preasent!

Glad your neck is better :)

[aramintasnape.livejournal.com]

Er...make that 'present'! *headdesk*

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Everybody is off at the cider mill, I guess! :)

[aerynstales.livejournal.com]

Woah...it got split into three?! *blinks* Dang!

Yeah, I've noticed this too...I went from about 20 emails to one yesterday. Haven't had too much to say, plus my wrist is flairing and it hurts to type. I'll probably spam lj later today though! :D

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Oh, poor wrist! That sucks. :(

Yeah, I realized that, even though the readers would have no problem reading a chapter of that length, there are two points with rising action, and I really didn't want it to look like a roller coaster. So I decided to chop it up, which will make it flow better. Er, I hope, at least.

Maybe Teh Bean was attempting to massage your aching muscles back into place in your dream? :)

He sure beats the hell out of a heat pack!

Oh, I would so use him as a heat pack..."But Sean, my entire body aches!"

*burps in a very unladylike manner*

Pardon me.

Hello!! The bitch is back. Being on call blows House Elves but thanks to me the whole county of Bedfordshire is free from toothache.

Now I have a very nice Frascati and I'm spamming my flist.

You're first...feel special.

P.S. mariannelee is a sexy bitch.

P.P.S. Be nice with your comment I've been doing NHS work and I'm traumatised

Hello dahling!

I'm first? Why, what an honor! *preens*

And you are totally right about Marianne. She rocks.
