Rain!

Whee! At last, the sky is falling!

I really want to open the windows so I can hear the rain, but the air in here is cooler than the air outside thanks to a morning of sealed egresses and our brave little air conditioner.

Must… not… open windows… to hear… rain…

Well. No need to open the windows. Now I can hear it hitting the ground through the glass. I wonder how long this will last?

Fight The Cute

Nixie just yawned and arched her back so hard that her front and back paws slipped on the polished wood floor and bumped into each other.

There ought to be a law against such cuteness.

Good Thoughts

Just got an e-mail from the acquisitions editor of that US publishing company confirming receipt of my CV and cover letter. She’ll be reviewing them within the next couple of days, and might contact me with more questions. She also thanked me for a prompt response.

Think good thoughts… think good thoughts…

Scattershot

I’m currently reading The Club Dumas and enjoying every moment. I do wish I had a copy of The Three Musketeers on hand, though, for easy access. The illustrations referred to in the other pertinent title in the story (the mythical “Book of the Nine Doors”) are actually included in the text, and believe me, there’s lots of reference and flipping of pages going on. I highly recommend it if you have any interest in the occult, the antiquarian book trade, or French history. And serial stories, of course.

I’ve been having trouble catching my breath all day. I wonder if it’s the humidity.

And about the Vatican issuing an official document opposing the legalisation of same-sex marriages: anyone else remember the phrase “seperation of church and state?”
