Shinies

Too tired to finish scanning all the necklaces, but the scanner scans so prettily I wanted to share at least one pic.

The Gimpy Eye of Balor, revisited

Our Heroine went to the doctor this morning. The doctor asked questions and shone lights in OH's eyes, and soon ruled out (as OH had already) bacterial conjunctivitis (because really, you'd know if you had it). Also ruled out was viral conj. Nothing particularly icky going on in the eye. Allergic conj. was suggested, and OH was sent home with an ocular decongestant.

OH drips cold drippy stuff in eyes, tra la la. Five-ten minutes later, the eye is much clearer, OH's persistant sinus headache is gone, the foulest crap imaginable is draining down the back of OH's throat. Ewwww.

(Our Heroine's doctor's office happens to be on the same street as Hobby Lobby and Target. She was mugged by beads and tanktops as she ventured home. And yes, OH has been referring to herself in the 3rd person all day.)

Sailing

I've started Sailing to Sarantium. This just so happens to coincide with some research on Byzantium. This may prove entertaining.

So far I'm vaguely annoyed by Martinian's sudden, inexplicable urge to do something that gets the plot rolling. I don't like sudden inexplicable urges in characters, especially when there's an omni narrator telling me how inexplicable it all is. I think limyaael has a rant about that.

As long as StS doesn't leave me hissing and frothing like Tigana did, it'll be okay. (I could not finish Tigana, and thinking about it too long makes me want to hiss and spit some more.)

Amalasuntha is a prettier name than Gisel.

Still too lazy for the webpage

But I have these pretty pictures...

I love the clarity of the cat hair in scanner pics.
