Round 69, Hour 26

[lothithil.livejournal.com]

Dinner is et. Kittehs are petted. Movie is queue'd. I haven't written anything lately, but I've been reading. Lovecraft. Poe. A dabble of Omar Khayyam.

What have you read lately, that inspires/stimulates/distracts you?

I've been reading (or listening to) Terry Pratchett, Lois McMaster Bujold, Dorothy Sayers, Georgette Heyer, and Ian Fleming.

And I have just sat down after a couple of hours of carefully painting a dragon. My back aches. And it's only a rather small dragon! It'd be tough painting a big one!

The hard part, I hear, is getting them to hold still until they dry.

That's easier in this case; it's a wingless dragon, so it can't fly away. But I have to get it drunk so that it doesn't roll over on its back and mess up all the work.

Do dragons drink wine, beer, or that peaty whiskey you like? *g*

[lolmac]

They'll drink just about anything except lite beer.

I've about caught up on Ursula Vernon's kid/teen books and am pondering reading her ebooks for adults... I wish they had 'em at the library, but they don't.

I need to write her and mention that her latest middle-grade book, "Castle Hangnail", reminds me a lot of the Chrestomanci series in tone and in the handling of the magic. I think she'd be well chuffed to hear that. :-)
