The Scraps

It has come to my attention that I need to stop using the word "never", at least in reference to this blog; for it turns out, upon reflection, that nearly everything I insisted I would never do has come to pass, and that my capacity to actually keep to my Thursday updating schedule is roughly equivalent to my capacity to fly. This is, I guess, a lesson from the universe.

It has also come to my attention that it is Thursday, and I should be updating. The trouble is, it has been a grueling work week thanks to two folks being on vacation (not their fault), and I have spent eight hours a day feeling as though I've had my skull filled with glue while someone with no grace or etiquette force-fed me bricks. The frenetic energy this stress fills me with has been channeled into working on Eyes of Stone, which is still a beast but is at least a tame one. So I'll be posting later, I hope, provided that I am able to find something clever to say. That is, I will be posting "later"...it's just "later" in this case may mean "Saturday".

Until then, I give you today's xkcd, and the world's most expensive coffee table book. Click in good health.
