Friday Wrap-Up

[artyartie]

Another Friday - these past few months have flown by so quickly it's a bit frightening - and this week was no exception. The 'highlight' of this week had to be getting rid of my neurologist after he told me that the tingliness and pain was all in my head. Yeah, nice. So it's off to see a new neuro a week from Monday and hoping this flare-up doesn't last too long!

I'm both happy and not happy with my story for last week's tsukimineshrine challenge. All my works tend to take place in the context of a single timeline with some rather large story arcs. But I can't write it sequentially, and so I get little bits and pieces. Tomoyo has a *huge* development in the middle of the work, which I wanted to mention in the story, or at least hint at at the very end, and I changed my mind, which I think made the story weaker, especially the end. Meh. Once I finally get to the backstory, I know I'll revise it. What I really need to do is make a general timeline so I don't start contradicting myself, especially since I keep adding things - though I like the idea of Tomoyo and Naoko being at Oxford for a semester in college.

Tonight I'm off to Pints Pub, the possible venue for my Trafalgar day party. I'm just hoping they'd be amenable to the idea - they're likely the most British pub in Denver (there's even a little red phone booth outside!) so I think there's a chance, at least.

Anyway, hope everyone else had a good/decent/bearable week, and has a better weekend!

did you read the article in the october national geographic about the battle of trafalgar? there are photos on-line at ngm.com/0510 though i haven't seen them yet. i was distracted by the elephant dung paper (true!) and elephant orchestra (same ngm site), which is really incredible. you should listen to that, too.

my friend's father is a retired neurologist, and his favorite bad joke when my friend had a headache was to tell her he could step on her foot (or some such act of minimal violence to induce pain) so she would forget about the pain in her head. but he's honestly a very caring and sincere person, so i know there are good neurologists out there. i hope the next one you meet is like him.

I did! My friend Eric at work actually brought his copy over to me, since he knows I'm an Age of Sail fan. The pictures were just incredible, and I'm going to pick one up soon! Tonight was a success and if I can get the people for the Trafalgar party, we have a venue! The bartender thought it was a great idea.

Hopefully the new neuro will be like your friend's father - I have a vague feeling I may have seen him before and liked him, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
