Small things...

[sqbr]

An irrational fear I had as I wrote up my Phd is that Mike Slackernerny would beat me. Well not only did that not happen, but he named his daughter after me! (kinda)

Speaking of adorable little redheaded babies, I saw Shayolaura(*) today (plus her mum and grandma) She is HUGE. As in turning into a child rather than a toddler, not obese or 6ft tall or anything :)

Also, I spent all of yesterday writing a story! Which I finished!! And then I showed it to Cam and he was all "I'm not sure a hardbitten starship captain would describe walking corpses as "trundling around"(**)". Bah to that, he just doesn't understand my genius. Though he did help me come up with a better ending. Anyway, I'm going to leave it a bit then maybe go back to it, then maybe show it to other people. My first couple of drafts tend to really suck. I didn't learn to redraft until doing my Phd, maybe that's why I never fulfilled my childhood dream of being a writer...

Somehow, I am coping with the loss of my blog. Though every now and then I feel a twinge of guilt for enjoying lj's convenience.

(*)That doesn't look right...
(**)A constant in all my science fiction is a cheery tone and a high death count.

Reasons this is a bad idea:
*The world has far too many Michaels already.
*My family has more than enough Michaels (one).
*This would set the precedent for Cam naming our next daughter Cameron.
*We both know that if anyone in the immediate vicinity has babies any time soon gyges_ring will do experiments on them so they can't see stairs (I fear for the baby Basden).

I resemble that remark!
