What are you wearing?
I'm wearing blue striped panties, lilac bra, long flowy mostly-red patchwork skirt, snug black tee, hair in stealth pigtails, strappy sandals.
What are you reading?
Here, at lunch: "One Door Away from Heaven" by Dean Koontz. Yes, yes, I know, but Jeanette lent it to me months ago assuring me that it was good, so I may as well get it over with.
At home: "Carpe Diem", the third and final book in that Liaden omnibus. I think I'll need to go look for the other books in the series...
And a new question: What are you doing? We all know, on one level or another, what we want to be doing. What are *you* doing to bring that to fruition? If you're not doing anything, what should you be doing? How can you make this happen?
My answer, everyone knows... writing Shayara, making it real. I'll be starting on issue #6 this week; after that, I think I'm going to write the graphic novel of the night of the Purges while![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Reading: "Bitting the Sun", a novel borrowed from the fiancee about people who live in a society where every whim is catered to, as long as they display sufficient gratitude. Most of them are miserable. =:)
Doing: Homework. =:P Lots and lots of homework. Since I don't really have time to work on the comic, I am thinking about why I want to draw it, and what it should be about, since my efforts so far are REALLY unfocused. So far, I'm coming up empty. =:P

So if someone asked you what you've been reading at home, you'd say you've "been Liaden'?"

I'm currently reading: that same old book at home, but I really am almost done--I've gotten to the part about Celtic vaticination (prophecy) and it's way cool.
Commuting: Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression by Andrew Solomon. Recommended (i.e. forced down my throat) by
What I'm doing: the big thing is trying to move. Looking for an apartment can be drudgery though. It'd be so much easier petless, but that's just too bad. I'm doing my earthy-crunchy druid stuff (the specifics of which stay in my paper journal, so there!) Also working on a few poems my mom commissioned from me to go with a series of her paintings.
A co-worker just brought in chocolate banana rum cake! Delicious!!!

Black socks, dark gray boxer-briefs; piercing; black and gray checked pullover golf shirt with corp logo (happy sarariman, no?); pressed and dry-cleaned dark tan khakis with cargo pockets; four-buckled black leather boots with zipper on inside of ankle (scuffed from dancing on Saturday, they need to be polished tonight and/or I need to switch to work shoes).
What are you reading?
Re-reading a Charles deLint novel (and was just re-skimming David Brin's two Uplift War series), and listening to two 1 hr voice-plays by Neil Gaiman in the car. Then I have a mystery to listen to. And I found an 11 CD set of the Odyssey for $15!
And a new question: What are you doing?
Hmm... building a present and future of friendships?

2) I still haven't picked up another book to read. _Ender's Shadows_ is in my car because I keep forgetting to bring it into the apartment. So I'll read that whenever I go someplace and need to wait around for a while. I'm still just reading comics. I haven't been motivated to pick up another novel. I feel literarily drained.
3) I'm trying to learn several songs that I can play at the filk portion of Trinoc-con. This leads directly to my goal of being a musician. I feel wonderful just practicing these songs. I need to set up that altar to Ritchie Blackmore though. I've also started teaching

Reading: The Tower and the Hive by Anne McCaffrey. I've been on a McCaffrey kick for some reason.
Doing: Work: boring stuff. At home: Played EverCrack with Chris for his anniversary present. Created book database in Excel and entered over 400 mass market books into the database. Whew!
Tonight I'm going to tea with

Nothing.. reading LJ.. wishing I could take the job I interviewed for today.. but knowing I really can't because I leave December 7th for Florida *sigh*

From inside out: Black bra, grey thong panties, black cut velvet bodysuit, swishy green knit skirt, mid-calf length. Black granny boots, hawk necklace, amber sun belly chain, moonstone stud earrings, and wedding ring. (Of course, those last two never come off, and the belly chain I wear more often than not...) ^_^
What are you reading?
To/from work: Brothers in Arms, Lois McMaster Bujold. Still working on getting all those quotable quotes--I've got half the books, Amber's taking the other half. I'll put them all up on a website when I'm done.
Home: The Warrior is Silent: Martial Art and the Spiritual Path, Scott Shaw.
And a new question: What are you doing? We all know, on one level or another, what we want to be doing. What are *you* doing to bring that to fruition? If you're not doing anything, what should you be doing? How can you make this happen?
* Spiritual:
-- I went walking in the woods with Amber (actually *hiking* is a better term, as we definitely got our exercise in and got hot and sweaty, climbing up and town pretty steep slopes) and found a good place for holding private outdoor circles. One of these days I need to take a rattle and go out to dance the hawk.
-- I've started keeping a dream journal
-- I've been meditating more often, learning how to get answers from my sources more readily than through a full spirit journey
* Writing:
-- I've decided on a plan for the damned book
* Musical:
-- My drums will be paid off and brought home in 8 days, at which time I'll start practicing at least a half-hour a day (I will, dammit--this is a commitment to do something with Chris, which I can't start doing until I get good at my part, and I'm much better at keeping commitments to other people than to myself.)
* Fitness:
-- I worked out with Meercat on Thursday, did a mild exercise routine Friday, went hiking for over an hour on Saturday. *Meant* to exercise with Meer on Sunday, but her phone was out of order, so I couldn't call her to verify...and I *hate* showing up without calling. I don't mind it when people do it to me, but I hate doing it to other people.
-- Tonight I plan to hit the exercise room in my own apartment complex. It's smaller, but should be sufficient for just me, myself, and I. ^_^
I think I've been doing pretty good at working toward my goals the past few weeks. Go me! :)

Reading: Girl in Landscape by Johnathan Lethem. Just a few chapters into it and loving every page.
Doing: How strange. I talked about cutting out negative things in "your" (all-inclusive you) life in my journal today, though I didn't specifically answer my own questions. My whole journal has been about being in a better place lately; my journal is what I'm doing, but while I'm doing that, I also want to be writing. I am writing phrases, sentences, scraps of poetry, short stories, notes about the Big One... everything. I should probably start submitting things (just talked about that in IM with

i haven't picked up the Golden Compass for weeks, as I am currently headlong into the Quest of 16 Comic Boxes. But I read all of Byrne's Spider Man Chapter One last night. And I have the Sandman Companion by Hy Bender in the bathroom.
Doing alright.

Over-sized blue t-shirt and tan pants. Not exactly exiting, but comfy.
What are you reading?
"Passage to Juneau" by Jonathan Raban I haven't decided what's next for fiction, but my to-read pile has plenty to choose from.
At home: "Carpe Diem", the third and final book in that Liaden omnibus. I think I'll need to go look for the other books in the series...
That's probably a good idea. Or you could wait 10 years for the next book like those of us who read them when they were new.
We all know, on one level or another, what we want to be doing. What are *you* doing to bring that to fruition? If you're not doing anything, what should you be doing? How can you make this happen?
If I knew the answer to that, I'd be doing it instead of reading LJ.
Re: Questions for a busy Monday
a smile. Oh. Clothing. Tevas on the feet. Black jeans, a black belt with chrome buckle, and a Perl Conference 1.0 t-shirt. Glasses and a hair tie if you want to count those. Oh, some of that dignity stuff too but I'll be taking that off later.

Journyx documentation. *shudder*

Right now, I am simplifying and consolidating. I don't have the balance that I think I should have. Yes, I am rather centered and balanced in comparison to many others. But I'm not the rock solid foundation that I think I should be. I manifest earth really strongly and I need to get back to being virtually unshakeable.
So, what am I doing? I'm preparing myself so that later and I do better and greater things with stamina and vigor.
