No fiction writing done today, I’m afraid. I had other projects to eat my attention, but that’s just how it goes. Nonetheless, I’m pretty happy with my productivity. I’ve gotten a solid Draft Zero on one project, and finished Draft One on a second one. It took me all damn day, just about, but I’d rather get it right than rush it.

Last Night: Went to an Irish pub out in West Seattle with Aric, Ellen, and the lovely Maudelynn — who was kind enough to invite us out in the first place. Together, we were THE HELVETICA QUARTET. We successfully placed in the top three in three out of four rounds, but the MC got us on the “movie quotes” category. Last time I did the quiz (with Maudelynn alone) we ROCKED THAT MOFO. This time, strangely enough, we blew it like a birthday candle. Ah, well. There’s always next time.

Today: In addition to the freelancery, I got to go visit with Kat Richardson and serve as her personal Ferret Taxi. The divine Ms. Kat is leaving the country for a couple of weeks, and those ferrets needed some TLC from the boarding shelter at their vet’s place; so I was on the receiving end of some exceedingly cute ferret kisses before waving them goodbye. Afterwards, Kat and I did McDonald’s before calling it an afternoon. So bon voyage to you too, Kat! Take lots of pictures and collect lots of gossip and stories to share with Team Seattle upon your return!

And now, because I’ve been lax in this area lately, I give you Cat Blogging. Behold, my husband’s new desk. Behold, the feline who is strictly forbidden from going anywhere near it, for she’s been known to nibble exposed monitor and speaker cables.

Eh. Whatchagonnado?
