sweet fields arrayed in living green and rivers of delight

Finished Emma Bull's War for the Oaks, which was pretty damn good once I got into it (ditto LMB's A Civil Campaign). Although I’m not sure how much of a surprise it was supposed to be that Hedge and various other characters were what they were. But Tithe makes a LOT more sense now. Ditched six-hour film class today in favor of finishing Miles, Mystery & Mayhem. I am such a bio geek. Who knew I actually liked non-parody science fiction? Admittedly the parts I like best are the sf-of-manners, but whatever.

I have also begun writing Wilde Birds, which is rapidly turning into Two Men on a Quest (To Say Nothing of the Hoopoe) and features over-worked valets, a butler, lots of luggage, Tennyson galore, and the Cloudcuckooland Society. I need Victorian swear words, lots of them.

Finished Samurai Champloo. Oh Jin. Oh Mugen. Oh Jin. *cries*

Wellesley has been much on my mind of late. I bet that fragrant purple stuff in front of the science center is blooming about now.
