blech

woke up out of weird dream (wish I had written it down) with a hellacious sore throat and laryngitis. OMG WHAT? Body have you given up entirely? Thankfully I still have a) antibiotics b) a dr's appt tomorrow. I think this is just my usual spring allergies. Have I mentioned how much I hate spring? almost as much as I loathe summer.

since I feel like left over crap let me just spout off some nonsense.

First off, sorry to raceulfson and winters_queen for missing your birthdays yesterday. Happy Birthday a day late. Hope it was happy (I think I missed rahirah's too).

today was fun in class. My office is adjacent to two labs, one running fake sewage removal experiments today and the other using flesh eating beetles to clean roadkill coyotes (whee) and my own lab was dissecting medium sized animals. Can I just say I smell?


Almost done with the writing meme

29. How often do you think about writing? Ever come across something IRL that reminds you of your story/characters?

I think about it all the time. I feel guilty if I'm not writing when I'm supposed to be. I often come across things IRL that remind me of my characters. I was reminded today I totally need to use the one house I drive by in Jackson that has a cemetary abuted to it and it's front porch gives you a view of the hooker hotel across the street.

evil_little_dog and i had WAY too much fun in the first Ice Age because the characters were EXACTLY like three of ours right down to some of the things they said. We howled the whole movie.
