- How can people have never heard of The Ring Cycle? Who _are_ you? (note: I am not addressing people who have never heard or seen it, but people who don't even know what it is.)

- This Sydney housing situation is becoming REALLY STRESSFUL as several of my potential places are under rennovation and not available at all. I've not yet heard from my first choice though.

- Actually everything about Sydney is becoming really stressful, in that I had my first dream about it where nothing stressful in fact happened, but I haven't been out of the country in a decade, I haven't been on a plane in about six years, and I haven't -- well this is just crazy, alright. Crazy crazy crazy. And unlike a lot of my other crazy, totally dependent on me. Because really, I am going to the other side of the planet to remind myself of exactly how I always feel distant from other people? Yes, yes I think so. Hrrrr.

- Riding today.

- Starting to feel peripherally optimistic about Stone's Alexander, know I will regret this.

- Realizing I will miss Regency House finale tomorrow. Urgh.

- If you couldn't tell, all my disparate preoccupations have just slammed into each other really, really hard, and I'm feeling a bit on edge for it. Or, as Kat likes to say to me (and this makes sense in the mental universe Kat and I share), "you got elephant in my courtesan!" (think old Reeses peanutbutter cup commercial).

- I don't have a headache, but I feel as if I should.

Well, I've got Harry Potter in my space elevator right now, which I'm fighting off, but now I'm once again unable to concentrate on space elevators, and find myself wandering into Regency-era Harry Potter -- a very dangerous path I think. or, ooh, Napoleonic-era Potterverse!

It's the idea equivalent of having two stereos playing different music a little too close together. Sometimes it can work well, most of the time it makes headaches. I've had to walk over to the boy and say "Could you turn it down please? You're getting techno in my Handel." Or Koyannisqatsi in my Zeppelin. All the more amusing to me because I know what certain flavors of music mean we're working on, and sometimes when he's programmng and I'm writing romances it starts to feel like the bedroom is the left-brain and the front room is right-brain, and going through it to get to the fridge becomes hazardous to the idea flows.

Lol -- also, you want Regency Harry Potter? Read Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell -- it lacks the immediate charm of Harry Potter, but has the amusing manners and foibles of Regency stuff (which is when it is is set) and then about 200 pages in manages to become absolutely terrifying.
