Through a combination of odd timing, chance conversation, and another's lack of interest, I am now the proud owner of a Promethean Brain.

========

S--t. Intentions. Forgot intentions again.

========

I realize that it is actually a nifty and engaging story of political intrigue, intelligence, and determination, in an engaging if not belaboured setting, and handles the human aspect of things very well--all Bujold's Vorkosigan books do, to my mind.

But I cannot help but think of Barrayar as "Cordelia Naismith Goes Shopping".

========

Damn bad reactions to drugs. Damn photosensitivity. And triple-damn hydrocortisone cream, as it smells like shaving lather and triggers all sorts of weird associations.

========

You know, I'd love to do stuff for the Wraith Project. I really would. I just can't *think* of anything, and believe me, I've tried.

========

Damn headaches, while we're at it. I've had this thing all day. I have no idea what's causing it. I am about to test the theory that my mother made much stronger coffee than I was used to, and that I am going into withdrawal despite having had a larger than usual cup now that I am back home.

========

I realize the commercial cuts are doing it no favours at all, but Firefly is not quite hitting the same peak as Deadwood in my mind. I think part of it is the constant travelling; Deadwood's location is a given, and the characters there don't have to get along, and you can still reasonably expect them to all be there unless some of them get killed, probably by each other. I do not believe that the Serenity's crew and passengers are all each other's favourite people, but there is much more co-operation necessary, and (given the "this episode's job" feel) much less time to focus on the character interaction.

It is still good and enjoyable, but right now I am in withdrawal and would throw over watching the entire rest of Firefly if I could just get those missing episodes of season three of Deadwood goddammit.

========

While not usually a particular fan of perfume, I am seriously contemplating grabbing a sample vial of BPAL's Miskatonic University. Irish coffee, old books, and oak just strikes me as a pleasant combination. (Yes, there is a fangirl factor there.)

========

Mayfair's playing Monster House. I want to catch that before it's gone.

ST Meeting is not until Sunday.

Which epps, be spesific or you might get a DVD of season 3 :P

(I could live with a DVD of season three. At least until the boxed set comes out. Which, if the timing of the last two is anything to go by, will be sometime next year. Possibly in February, possibly in May, I'll cry if it's in August.)

Three, four, five, not-six, not-eleven, and not-twelve. I think we've got one other between six and eleven, but I'm not sure which; I've just been getting stuck on the "Argh! Can't jump three episodes and hit the middle of the season!" thing.

"You know, I'd love to do stuff for the Wraith Project. I really would. I just can't *think* of anything, and believe me, I've tried."

I am always looking for cover art -- and The Doctor got such rave reviews that it would almost be a crime not to do more.

However, HUSK and a lot of other work is going to change (in fact the whole PROJECT will be turned on its ear, I suspect) once the webmaster has his own shiny copy of Promethean in his hands to review, integrate and other such assimilation.

Really? *perk* I have a couple of vague ideas, but none of them seem to fit the Schlock month thing (the back of my mind is getting a mental image of Haight, but he's already been painted and I'd feel dirty...).

Hm.

Sorry I haven't been getting back to you on the book thing; working on the theory that you are still (as always) reliable and the timing is good, I have placed the order and e-mailed you the details of the balance owing.
