morning sundries
Jul. 25th, 2006 11:18 amOkay, the new HP short fic I'm working on is Severus/Regulus, Harry/Viktor Krum and may possibly imply severus/Harry (I'm trying not to go there, actually, but it may get the better of me). The "present" of it is post-war; obviously the Severus/Regulus is the past part. It's slow going but interesting, and so far less emotionally gutting than the last two (which really, what was up with those?). Meanwhile, the conclusion of the current Descensus chapter is probably about 10 days away, and I can't wait. It's gotten really interesting and funny and hot, and the next one is a snap comparitively speaking. I'm sorry we've so kept you all waiting.
I'm not sure I have other news to report, other than rest of money from Germans arrives tomorrow, and while things may be patchy with money with them over the next month or so, we've landed some new contracts and things should be stable again soon.
Additionally, the horrible thing I was working on for one of my other jobs is essentially done.
All of which means I think tonight I get a much needed night to be left alone. I really thought now that I was gluten-free I was somehow less of an introvert -- and maybe I am, but I finally hit my people toxicity level in a big way -- and it was coming on as evidenced by the long, serious emails I've not yet had the mental ability to reply to.
I'm not sure if I mentioned this - I went to the museum the other day with Marrilynn and had been really excited to see lots of Anubis stuff in the Egyptian wing. But there was hardly any and that surprised me. Then I got to thinking about whether there were ever any temples dedicated to Anubis, or since he was busy doing all this stuff about death, if he was the sort who didn't have any temples just for him, but was merely present everywhere. I don't know, and a google wasn't helpful in telling me quickly, but wouldn't that be an interesting, and fitting notion -- at least in terms of the anubis archetype obsession thing I'm on about right now. Which reminds me, I'm trying to find an essay about that to give to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
schpahky, but finding one that is compelling and neither spoils HP for her (she's only read through book 3) nor is filled with crappy Wiccan bullshit about being careful when embracing the dark has proved moderately challenging. You kids got anything for me? Regardless, I need to get a little Anubis for what is becoming, not an altar, per se, but a bit of a miniature statuary around here. I have my Ganesh and my Jizo, so I suppose I should get my skippy the wonder dog. I also suppose I should be a little less verbally familiar with death gods, but it's a bad habit. ;)
As some of you also know I am planning a new tattoo, but I am having placement issues as what I want symbolically and my logistical needs are not entirely in sync in the matter. Since I won't do it until the fall at the earliest, it hardly matters right now, but it's making me a little nuts.
Oh, and to go back to the museum for a second, the Tradition and Transgression fashion exhibit is fabulous. Too small, and less historical items then I wanted to see, but it's beautifully laid out and the room with the raven woman is seriously cool. Seriously, seriously cool. You should check it out.
