The Dark Avalon Scrolls

partially transcribed from my Morning Pages... because I can!


I got up very early for me this morning. I basically got up at 0700-ish. I heard shatterpath moving around and decided to get up, even tho I was still pretty tired. I can always nap if I need to, right? So I've done email and FB now, but haven't gotten to DW/LJ yet. I'll do that once I get this posted, no worries...

So last night we watched White Christmas. It's been a while since I've seen the movie, and shatterpath'd never seen it before. It was awesome to watch it with her, and get to hear some of my favorite holiday music. And my god, but I keep forgetting just how pretty Rosemary Clooney was when she was younger! I would so tap that if I had the chance! And Vera-Ellen may be a good dancer [and she really is], but the anorexia made it really hard for me to watch her, especially her thighs in a straight-on shot when she was wearing the little leotard-type outfits. It was more than a little creepy and made me uncomfortable to look at her. Maybe that's partly due to how big and fat I've become, I don't know. But yeah, definitely not for making me comfortable.

And back to Rosemary Clooney for a moment...shatterpath said that Joan Cusack reminds her of that young Rosemary Clooney, while I saw Molly Price. And now this morning, I actually realized that it was Elizabeth Perkins that I was thinking of last night, too. Like eerily so, she looks like that young Rosemary Clooney.

I did something to my left wrist yesterday at some point. The area under my left thumb, where and and wrist connect to forearm. If I bend my hand forward, no pain. If I bed it backward, or to the sides, it hurts like whoa. Bending the thumb in -- curling it in -- hurts, too. I put some expired arnica cream [expired in '08 or '09] on it last night and had it wrapped all night. it made typing a bit awkward, but that didn't stop me, of course. LOL! And I kept it wrapped when I went to bed. I unwrapped it this morning as my skin was all marked up from the wrap all night. I'll wrap it up again in a little while. Still have no idea what I did to it, tho I don't believe it's arthritis, like shatterpath suggested, since I would have felt it before this. Particularly in the cold weather we had over the last month or so. I'm sure I just overdid something, that's all. I'll do my best to take it easy for a few days, and keep it wrapped. That should help, hopefully. Thank goddess, it's not my right wrist, or I'd be kind of fucked...

Lots of writing to get done ASAP, particularly the last two chapters of Inamorata and my yuletide piece. And I have some fandom_stocking stuffing to do, and all of my licenseartistic pieces to deal with, too. I want to be caught up on licenseartistic by the end of the month, damn it! It's ridiculous how far behind I've fallen with that. I'm kind of disgusted wth myself for letting that happen like I did. I need to be better about that, damn it! And I'm wondering if it's worth leaving a vaguely snarky comment about mundane_bingo and the fact that I've been waiting since August for a card? I don't know that it would really accomplish anything, but I definitely want to do it. I'll probably end up talking myself out of it, which is probably best in the long run. *sigh*

I am considering a printed copy of Inamorata. I can get a free proof-copy from CreateSpace because I was a winner for NaNoWriMo this year. I'm actually considering it. I just need to finish it up first. I shall ponder this a bit more...

And now, I need to get some stuff done...
