It's been a primarily great weekend thus far: updated my website and my Wraeththu fic Friday night— at work. We had an ice storm Friday morning and I wasn't sure whether or not we'd have power at the house, much less that my satellite dish would work; when I'd left in the morning, it, like my car, was covered in a sheet of ice. The weather warmed up, though, and at long last all of the snow is gone. I've been working more on my Wraeththu WIP; many to most of you have commented to me that you feel a bit badly at seeing me so gung-ho about something you haven't read and, therefore, aren't/can't follow my newest writing sojourn. I did make a Wraeththu page on my website last weekend, and I'll post a few of the links I put there, here, as reference points for you:
‡here at Wikipedia
‡here at Storm Constantine's blog
‡here there be gorgeous pictures from a German-created photo book
‡here is fanfiction
Other cool intersections:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stuckinsea pointed out that the gorgeous, lithe dancer who plays Bagoas in "Alexander" was also the actor who poses as Panthera in the photo book, listed above. I fell totally in love with "The Persian Boy" a few years ago; I listened to it as a book on tape while making my Éowyn green gown costume, actually. The creation of that dress and falling solidly in love with Bagoas/Alexander as well as Mary Renault will be forever a combined event for me. But I've watched the youtube video of Bagoas' dance for Alexander a few times, and it's very inspiring. Guh.
The only bad thing aside from the fact that it's back to work tomorrow and no news from the recruitment part of HR (I emailed twice as follow-up last week, into a yawning maw of silence. I'm quite underwhelmed. I'm an internal applicant, for goodness sake! Just let me know the damn status of the positions, is that so hard??) is that I slid down the lat few stairs of my staircase yesterday while I had a basket of laundry in my hands. My left foot curled under me, and I did some serious bruising/crunching of toes and hurt my ankle. It's still really, really sore. Thankfully earlier in the day I'd taken advantage of the lovely day to go for a 45-minute walk, ostensibly to clear my head, though I continued to think about "Maelstrom and Mage" anyway. But it was refreshing to get out and about. I won't be doing that today, though, as my big toe and whole top of my foot is still quite sore.
I've been hand-writing letters, so a few of you can expect to hear from me in that environment. I do keep up with you all here, though with the frenetic pace at work I no longer comment as much as I wish I did. I also watched my housemate's copy of "Cruel Intentions" last night. Darkly enjoyable.
So how are you all? ♥
