For the record, body, that is not what a good night's sleep consists of.

On the bright side, La Dolorosa! Joscelin! adkfjadsfdsf!!!! I just squeaked with joy and started crying happily and couldn't stop! I may yet be disappointed!

...possibly I should not read Kushiel's Chosen on the bus on the way to the interview. :3

But seriously. Joscelin Verreuil: King Fucking Ninja, Yo.

....and now that I've used this icon, I can't unthink it. But Sydney Losstarot would make a fabulous Phédre. .......except now I am sad because I would have to write it with Ashley as Joscelin, and Sydney/Hardin is the ultimate VS OTP. :< Whyyyy.

The interview was fine; five people, two and a half hours, and many repeated questions. It was all very casual and friendly and I have reserved high hopes. (If nothing else, I have recommended Sarah Monette to someone else. XD)

I am reading Kushiel's Chosen and far too tired for the usual fantasy nonsense. (In my head I am composing a letter that goes, Dear Fantasy Author, if I wanted a travel book I would buy one from Lonely Planet.) Really, really love the book. Do not love Phédre's propensity for being kidnapped and taken to exotic places because it is all too much to concentrate on and this is why I like Doctrine of Labyrinths: because the journey is coherent and purposed and there are dull, unimportant bits that Mildmay very helpfully skips over.

And... yeah. Tired. Tomorrow goes like this:
- fire door check
- nothing
- staff meeting
- drinks

and thank all the small gods for that.

[EDIT] EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

(It took me a LONG TIME to find this song, okay, damned if I am not going to share it with all of you.)

Here is a video of how awesome(ly retarded) it is!

Here is a download link!

The Bees FTFW!!!!!

Weird to realise that while you've been going mad, not writng prose for the sake of your hands, your mind has still been percolating away, and so when you finally sit down with a piece of paper, seven totally unrelated points come to light about the workings of the 'verse and relationships within, despite the fact that you would normally forget all this information within ten minutes.

(This was exactly like walking into the office on a Monday morning and being trailed down the corridor being handed pieces of paper in order of urgency, and reassured that there was tea waiting on my desk and he would be screening my calls.)

(VERY WEIRD.)

[EDIT] HAH. I am FINISHED THE DAMN BOOK. And before midnight, too. One more to go, and then I can move on to rereading the Doctrine of Labyrinths. Thankfully they seem to get slimmer as they go on.
