April 5th was the first perfect day, a good day as any to be that. Better than April 30th, anyway. But it's still not the beautiful season, as April 6th smells of fish and is rainy. April 4th is cool and I bought Palimpsest while Borders played Arabic pop over the speakers.
I misplaced my bookmark and I had to find a passage I recognize (it was about stones), and I'm really quite annoyed. I know it could be worse and I could have read fifty pages before realizing "oh, I've read this before" and I know I've lost more important things (actual books, friends, one of whom I found and that is what is important, most important of all, and one I have a frail hope of contacting and one I am completely unable to contact) in recent years, but still, I'm really quite annoyed by that. Besides, if that's the worst that happened, I should consider myself lucky.
I had a dream that was a bit like Obsidian and the first thing I do is subvert existing procedures for creative gain and for finally being able to write Journey's End. Influence? You bet your ass it was.
Burning Question: To all who remember "Not Every Day's a Victory," would the Bureau provide beer to people who beat their coworkers to a bloody pulp with a blunt and rounded shovel or people who subvert Bureau procedures by perhaps using a different orientation? Sarah says they would, to keep the prisoners sedated. I'm not very sure of that.
