- ipod is love.

- no, really.

- chicken & cheese tamales!

- handing over my weapons to Michael today for Sicily. I am brining my French foil eventhough it's a course focused on Italian swordsmanship because, it's mine and it sings in my hand and I want the ability to do something I'm competent at when I hit whatever bad frustration point is probably inevitable. Anyway, it will feel weird to have nothing by my horrible cheap telephone pole of a weapon I never use in the house.

- work has been a relentless ball of crisis due to people just noticing I was going on vacation.

- In freelance writing news today I have to write an article on comfort shoe construction and another one on gays and lesbians with disabilities.

- Really meaning to write the thing I've seen stewing on about why Torchwood matters to me (as opposed to just being major candy). I can feel myself feeling slightly sheepish about it, not because oh god, it's fannish since I'm rather used to that battle, but, because, I think, it's much easier to say "I identify with an ugly unlikeable character and this is why" and expect people won't necessarily come down on your head than it is to write a rant about murky personal power issues and identifying with a character who actually isn't the guy with the worst life EVER (just, you know, sometimes).

- I look totally hot today.

Just mentioning -- iPod = GLORIOUS. I've even converted Beth to it (and her interest in technological wonders generally borders on just this side of Luddite).

I also definitely use it as a writing tool -- even when I can't be writing right then, I can at least influence my thinking while doing household chores, traveling, etc.

Yes, yes totally. Also for me, this is how to cry on cue at auditions. Music can get me very worked up.

The best writing mix I ever made, I can't listen to. I get so utterly depressed that I just -- slow down. But wow, is it a perfect mix for that particular project. Man.

Now I kind of want to go listen to it again, just once, and try that story again.
