Jul. 10th, 2008 04:18 pmToday has largely been shaped by health. Not just my health, but my computer's health too. I got caught out by Microsoft's lovely new update, you see, the one that did strange things to ZoneAlarm clients.
What with one thing and another, all I've done today is to think thoughts (good thoughts, useful thoughts, thoughts that will advance various projects, but thinking, not writing so it looked as if I was being frightfully lazy) and to finish watching The Vision of Escarflowne. Conor recommended it to me and said it might make me rethink some of the other anime I had seen and he was entirely right. What's more, I enjoyed it greatly. I feel as if there's a little gap in my life that needs filling now it's gone, I enjoyed it so much.
I guess I'll have to fill that gap by writing those reviews I owe. I keep talking about them and all the review books are getting read, but I kind of seem to put off doing the writing-up. I do them at the end of my work day and energy has seeped out through my skin by that stage of the day and all I can do is worry about that skin. Other things, like stories and blogging, get done before the energy has entirely gone. Yesterday a zillion small Conflux tasks ate up that spare energy, but it was a very happy day notwithstanding (also notwithstanding some interesting family stuff) and I didn't regret falling behind a bit.
Tonight won't be review night at all. Tonight I shall fritter away my energy (because my skin is almost behaving - and I have a little less fatigue) in dinner at a friend's. I'm providing goat curry. My friend hasn't promised to eat it...
When I get home I have to revise my story and get it back to the editor. It's stranger now. Why am I so happy that I creeped a friend out last night, to check I'd done the right first edits?
