The Mickey story is for my own amusement, because my favorite amateur gay romance writers are not updating their series lately. Also it's a chance to look at a few other aspects of the world of Esperanza Highway.
I have this sort of free-floating feeling of not doing what I'm supposed to. I know it's because there are things I ought to do that I'm not doing. I need lists. That will be my next move. Lists of all the things I should get done. Meanwhile, I'm creeping closer and closer to the denouement of Afterwar. The next bit will be very dramatic. Well, by my standards anyway.
I was reading all about Sorbian language and Lusatia because Brian Scott at rasfc said my name is derived from a Sorbian word for "stony brook." Sorbian is an obscure Slavic language -- indigenous to the part of Germany between Poland and Czechoslovakia, and possibly what my folks were before they were Germans.
There's a Lusation independence movement which has apparently resurged since the unification -- under communism, the use of the language spread, because it was taught in schools, and it was used for signs and other official purposes bilingually with German.
Oh, also, I made another gallery for the Bella and Chain graphics. So far I'm made three repeating patterns based on pysanky, and the sketch of the index page. I'm not sure how I intend to use the pysanky patterns. They have something to do with Harry Smith, a protrait of whom I've nicked as well. Look, I change my galleries all the time, so I think it's stupid to put up a link that will be bad soon. Just go to my user info, find the pictures link, and when you get there, notice that under "every picture tells" there's a gallery called "stuff for bella and chain." Then you can see my pysanky-inspired designs, the sketch of what I want the index page to look like, and a picture of Harry Smith, who is not a character in the novel, although there is a character named Harry Smith.
Maybe the least disruptive way to use them would be to fill a column on one side of the page. I could do a different one for each chapter.
