and thought wondrously how

Some things I like:
- Benjamin Parzybok's story at Strange Horizons this week, Birds;
- a link I found wandering through his blog after reading it: Authors, Poets Write the News, which rather made me feel that I would like to live in that universe, and then I realized that that is this universe, so I don't even have to move;
- my roommate-for-next-year and I got the room we wanted (which has a bay window, which we will sit in and drink tea and, probably, talk about Science, and I will write stories);
- tomorrow is when a friend from high school is coming to be a prospective student and sleep in my room, and I shall show her all around and introduce her to people;
- book-art-ing Dhalgren, although it may take me years.

More on that last: so far I've just been using markers, and when I have a spare moment or wander into my room I draw or scribble something on a page or two.

One of these days I will find watercolors or pastels or crayons or something and do some more serious work on it. For now, though, each page just takes me a few seconds, and I feel like I have done something, if not Done Something, and slowly of course the pages will add up.

Though there are eight hundred of them, so like I said, it might take a while.

I think I am particularly fond of acrylics because I used oils first, so acrylics seem to dry miraculously quickly for any project that wants actual handling.
