almost succesful

[cornerofmadness]

Well i was in two respects: I managed two of the three things I wanted to do in Columbus. Heck, last night my migraine and nausea were so bad I didn't think i would be able to go but i felt okay today.

Thing One - return to Greenlawn Cemetery. Mission accomplished. I was bragged to m3sektet last night about my good sense of direction. It's been nearly ten years since I've been in there but i did find everything I wanted to by memory. And there was more damage to the cemetery than I was prepared to see and one from...acid rain? vengeful dumping of battery acid? it melted! I will post pictures soon (when i can go to work and use the bulk uploader on photobucket...)

Unfortunately it was hot. Excuse me weather but last week you were a pleasant pre-Autumn mid to high 60's. Yesterday for the Apple fest it was 100 degrees. Today was in the 90's. I overheated worse than I have had in years. The whole kit and kaboodle, chapped lips, cracking fingers, profuse sweating. hell I didn't stop sweating until I was in borders for about a half hour and after drinking the water fountain dry. and as atpolittlebit pointed out Greenlawn has a wiki entry and hey, it's own website

Thing Two - I took advantage of the buy 4 manga get one free but of course Borders didn't have Chrono Crusade #2 at the Kenny Rd one but Sawill's did. So I bought my 4+1 at the first store and figured to use my coupon on CC #2...only to find four more manga I had not seen before and/or wanted so i ended up with TEN manga and a cd by someone called A Fine Frenzy. She reminds me of Jewell and Sarah McLachlan. I like her stuff.

Now I'm hungry so I go to a Chinese/Indian fusion restaurant that i saw tucked away near Borders. It was good except for the service which absolutely sucked.

But that heat exhaustion cost me too much time trying to recover. I didn't get to do thing #3, go to Trader Joe's and stock up. Sigh.

eta - word count for the month

24,847 / 25,000 (99.4%)

looks like i'll hit my revised goal tomorrow

that manga sale at borders has been tempting me for a while, but i've imposed a moratorium on manga buying until i finish my unread manga. and they never have the series i want to complete, so grr. i think i'll hafta order Eden on amazon.

90 degrees? oy vey. it was around 75 here, not bad. my big exciting venture today was going to the mawl to buy boxer briefs.

this borders had the Aegis thing you were reading. I did splurge but i won't be back up there for weeks and weeks (okay in a few weeks but that's for work)

hey i'm editing ch 21 of Hyperion's Son

[chaos-by-design.livejournal.com]

heh, yeah i haven't finished vols. 2 and 3 of that. they really need to make Izare look less like a drag queen, especially since he's supposed to be this badass soldier.

ooooooooooh, HS. Really, I do want to illustrate that. I do. I just really, really suck at drawing VK.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Or just crown him queen (which they just did in a Rurouni Kenshin with one bad ass samurai...)


Aww that's too bad.

[chaos-by-design.livejournal.com]

heh. for all i know, maybe they do eventually.

yeah but the thing to do is to keep practicing, but of course instead i get all discouraged and stop completely. because i'm all well-adjusted and stuff.

snort


well that's one thing I can say about myself. I don't get discouraged and stop (points to monthly word count)

[chaos-by-design.livejournal.com]

hm. mind if i borrow that personality trait from you? i could really use it.

[chaos-by-design.livejournal.com]

I'm excited to see the cemetery photos and the damage they suffered. That has both of us curious. (Also, Barry said that marble does erode very quickly which is why they don't like to use it anymore.)

They have a really nice website - Birding looks pretty sweet:

there are some that will stun you nad Barry. I'm not kidding. Maybe it was marble. I'm using it in my ecology lecture about acid rain. I'll have to go amend the slides.

Wow, i didn't even see the birding stuff. I used to just go there and chill out. I did the same at Mayview in Cleveland Hieght's. They have a tiffany chapel there
