• Had octopus at dinner that looked like Cthulu. Elder god is tasty when flame-broiled. #

Today was one of those odd days where I was occupied all day but got nothing done. I hate those days.  Oh wait. I did laundry¹ and a little bit of story editing.

Then this evening I went to KGB. The readings tonight by John Kessel and Joselle Vanderhooft were both quite enjoyable.  And they’ve both donated items to the KGB raffle. By the way, the raffle has added a carnivorous plant from the Texas Triffid Ranch.  You think I’m making it up, don’t you?

Liz Gorinsky seduced Genevieve Valentine, Dustin and Julia to go with her to the Desert Truck.  Their goat cheesecake may well be the best dessert I’ve ever had. And the chocolate bread pudding.  Oh my.

And finally in my sum-up of today.  Dr. Horrible Act II!!!!

I’ve been writing love letters to Rob every night and tucking them in places that I know he’ll look when he gets home.  There’s one in the refrigerator.  One under his journal — but not inside, as that would have required opening it.  One on his computer.  I’ll leave one on his pillow.¹

I used to do this when we were first courting and I’d head off on tour. It’s been a while since I’ve taken the time to write my fondness for him down with pen on paper.  I’m enjoying the tangibility of these expressions.

1. He doesn’t read my website so I may safely confess such things to you, dear reader. [↩]
