So winter is over?
Feb. 20th, 2008 02:07 amHa! Not buying it.
The Texas ashes are starting to swell with buds. The pecans and Shumard oaks are saying "Don't fall for it! It's a trick!" The Bois D'arcs (Osage orange)are among the very last to bud -- like a month after everything else starts. So they are muttering: "Huh? I didn hear the alarm go off..."
I am the proud owner of a hanging tomato cage, to hang from the rafters. Will this stop the squirrels from eating my tomatoes? It will if I hang it in the office. We'll see. I'm thinking cherry tomatoes.
Not posting but either writing scenes or notes. I spent the past three or four days on getting new cookware (Emeril's stuff ranked higher than ALL-CLAD in Consumer Reports!) and cleaning up enough to let a macrobiotic chef trash the kitchen. It smelled wonderful and tastes just as good. This effort is the "macro diets help people with cancer make their systems more alkaline, and not tasty to cancer cells. Perhaps this will work for Lyme?" W decided this was a good idea. I will try. Although I like the foods, the grains -- even gentler on my stomach -- still cause a lot of bloat. But tomorrow/today will be writing, maybe some errands (ha -- too many errands) ironing a silk sari for the convention in Dallas this weekend, to be worn with pants, not the skirt, because bloat girl is not going to be the same size all weekend. More writing. Coming up[ with makeup to make me look less dead. ("I got better!") I have two different books demanding their next scenes. No...tonight do the top two Tai Chi movements, at least, and then bed.
Tomorrow I will try to post my convention schedule. I even volunteered for the porn panel. I like to make people laugh, and I also like to semi-seriously discuss this topic. Where is the line between sensual and erotic -- between erotic and porn? Are fans uncomfortable reading sex scenes with too much detail? Does same-sex sensuality bother them, or is just another form of fantasy? And equally -- is hetero sex uncomfortable for gay writers? (I can think of a great SF novel that did not feel quite right in its hetero romance/relationships. Was this just the author's way of showing changes in mores, biology and new planet influence -- or was this not understanding what might seem unreasonable to a straight observing a relationship between a man and a woman?)
Come to the panel 10:00 pm Saturday in Dallas/Richardson TX and we'll talk.
