What was the point of being a precog if the things you see, you can't prevent? This wasn't true all of the time, thank God. But she'd seen the last few minutes of the mission, seen Evan die and being unable to help left her feeling a little lost. She'd stayed in her room, feeling as though telling Stryker would be a lost cause. she'd told her room mate she had a headache when really, she just ...

Bookverse fic: Miss Elphaba (2/?)

...with a strap." Glinda gasped, her eyes flying wide, her flushed face burning even hotter, and she thought she might faint. Was Elphaba really-- did she really-- oh Oz, that wasn't one of her ill-timed jokes... she was serious. "Oh Elphie you wouldn't," she breathed, her mouth open in a perfect 'o'. Elphaba hadn't meant she would do it herself, but since Glinda had interpreted it that way, well, ...

Day 6

... part, if you ask me at least, is the speed. See, I have this small case of OCD. I'd be able to call anything I wrote before crashing tonight day six, if the NaNo website wasn't timed. I like making sure I have an updated word count before Midnight so that the word count will show on the appropriate day. Now, today, I'm not particularly sleepy yet and therefore I was taking my sweet time getting ...

"Most people guard against going into the fire, and so end up in it." -- OTA

[Timed to the early morning hours.] Sometimes muscles twitch so violently it's like the whole body jumps into the air. Draco's body twitched and he woke, eyes wide and mouth clamped shut even though his lungs ached for air. He swallowed numerous times, unclenched his hands from the bedsheets. When his heart calmed, he took in a deep breath and slid as silently as he could from bed. Sweat ...

World Fantasy Con

...the outdoor History San Jose museum; nice cheap lunch at tacqueria at Willow & Vine; now at The Tech for the Star Trek exhibit. 10/29/09 9:46 PM: Ellen Klages's Google Hand beats Google on iPhone in timed test! 10/30/09 8:01 AM: Awake. Spent entire evening in the bar. Much good conversation and laying of fiendish plans. Shower now, then search for breakfast. 10/30/09 8:25 AM: Kate found a place...

Buying science records

... that the song/video are incredible. 3. The back of the 7" record will have a copy of the inscription on the gold records on the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecrafts. 4. The release date of November 9 is timed to coincide with what would have been Carl Sagan 's 75th birthday. I was a Sagan-head when I was 14 or 15. I distinctly remember reading his Cosmos , a big, tall hardcover book, on the beach at...

A "shout out"?!?! Seriously????

I used to throw things at the tv in past years when the President would make stupid statements, or misstatements, or ill-timed statements.  It's nice to know that I can continue this practice. I know it was at a conference for Native American issues, but I think 2 minutes of remarks, and a "shout out" was inappropriate given what was going on at Fort Hood.  I think the conference would have ...

... be swimming" to "decidedly unhealthy." And Ferines biology probably is pretty good at dealing with cold water in a way I can't predict if you say it's that they have blubber, Fenimore will smack you . So if it's a really warm climate, this might actually be forward-dated for all I know. So let's just go that this is timed "so that the weather is getting chilly, whenever that happens to be."))

Done yesterday (20091105)

..., boring stuff. And also because debugging them can be... interesting. Took a nice walk around the pond. Rather scattered thoughts, but I ended up pretty calm and somewhat refreshed. Got a well-timed call from cflute , while we were on the way to our date-night dinner at Estrellita's, a Mexican place in Los Altos that's been there forever and has a wonderful mole poblano and ...
