dreamflowerabout all sorts of things, personal or fandom related or political or otherwise...
1. I decanted the rose-petal vinegar I made a few weeks ago-- it smells lovely. I still have several plants that need to go out in the garden. But my lettuce finally bolted and my broccoli and cabbage are being eaten into lace by *something*.
2. Re: work. I *hate* the truck not coming until late afternoon. I go in at 11, and there's very little for me to do most days except clean. Which I don't mind doing when it's needed, but very much mind when I know it's just busy work. Plus which, we keep running out of stuff that people come specifically to Braum's for. The worst is running out of whole milk. In the month since they switched us to afternoon deliveries, we've run out on truck days before the truck arrived almost every time. Customers get testy-- and guess who they find it convenient to complain to? I wish we'd get back to morning deliveries. Only 5 more months to go.
3. My keyboard is randomly leaving out letters when I type them in.
4. This game: http://www.deadwhale.com/play.php?game=50 is a time sink.
5. Re: Church. A lot of folks at our church are disturbed about the fact that our new pastor is a woman. (This includes my DH, bless him, who was raisd in a much more conservatve theological tradition than I was). I'm disturbed, but not by that. What bothers me is that ther were certain people who wanted to see our former pastor (whom I like very much) gone, and now it's some of these *same* people who don't like that we got a woman to rplace him. But there are some really good folks in our church in spite of church politics, and I think when she gets here in a couple of weeks things will shake themselves out.
6. Re: Politics and the oil spill. I find it both infuriating and amusing thatDelores Umbridge Sarah Palin is pitching a fit about th blowout in the Gulf. Excuse me? Miss "Drill, Baby, Drill?!?!?!", Miss "Get the government out of business"?!?!?!?! She thinks th government is not doing enough? The hypocrisy, it burns!
7. Re: Fandom. I REALLY NEED to get to wrk (see wha I mean about random letters?) on my WIPs!
8. Also re: fandom. I antcipated this happening, I did. Still found it annoying when it *did*
I posted "Little Dogs Laughed" at SoA. Anonymous struck again.
Ah well! So it goes.
It looks to be a quiet weekend here.
I wish all my fellow Americans a happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Little Dogs Laughed by Dreamflower 2 Review(s)
Reviewed Chapter: 1 on 5/28/2010
I'm sure this is a wonderful story, but it doesn't belong on this archive even if Tolkien did write Roverandom - this is for stories set in Arda... Middle Earth! :)
Author Reply: I doubt if you see the answer to this comment, since you posted anonymously, but I will answer anyway: I have the express permission of Nilmandra to post this. I did ask first.
Author Reply: By the way, it is quite possible that this story *is* set in Arda, as at one point, Roverandom is granted a brief glimpse of "far off in the last West the Mountains of Elvenhome and the light of Faery upon the waves". Nearly everything JRRT wrote impinged on his original legendarium at some point.
Ah well! So it goes.
