I waited until Jo Walton came to San Francisco before I bought her book Among Others. Now I have a signed copy and I stayed in bed almost all day to read it.

People are right, you should totally read it.

I gather a lot of people say "that was me!" But it wasn't me, exactly, though I had many things in common with Morwenna. But it was surely a teenager.

After her talk and booksigning at Borderlands bookstore, we repaired to a restaurant and had kind of fancy but not really expensive food, and I ended up bringing home a Santa Cruzan I hadn't known before and whose acquaintance I was glad to make,Tané who is personhead pyrzqxgl . I came home earlier than I thought I would.

Beforehand I went out to lunch with my friend Irene who I do not see enough of because we are both less mobile than we ought to be.

I am trying to be more social and a better friend.

On another front, I finally got Yanek moved out of the nursery and also had the first of the proximal altercations with Sasha, and I think I wrote that part completely wrong, but I'll probably rewrite it when I get the other confrontations figured out in more detail. Anyway I'm at the end of chapter 13, and at 70, 000 words, and the next chapter is one damn thing after another until boom! we're in the army now.
