hildy89: (fox in winter by coi)

Friday

I'd say winter came in like a lion. A very breezy cold brutal one at that. I looked very nervously at some of the stop signs swaying in the breeze. The flags were really flapping yesterday, though it doesn't seem *quite* as bad today. Fortunately I had only planned to write this weekend. Catching up on Nano is the Prime Directive, assuming the muse has actually received the memo from Starfleet or the Ministry of Magic or Psi Corps or whichever group my Muse reports to.

The Nano would go better if I could ignore the dreaded R word aka Research. I hadn't thought about how much has changed in train travel even along the narrow DC-NYC line until I started this thing. Oye.

The disorganized BDaltons has reorganized again. The humor section is gone, allowing the manga to take up a full four shelves. When the stock looked slightly depleted today, I was concerned, until I saw their new TP spinner rack. Granted they plunked whatever manga they had overstock of, rather than limiting it to Tokyopop titles, but it'll theoretically look better than the book dump from hell. I wonder if someone complained or if someone finally just accepted that the manga wasn't going to stop coming anytime soon.

I'll take Manhattan...

Did I dig right
Did you say the Hipprodome?


*sighs* It's a bad sign of something that I found myself singing "Come up to my place" from On the Town today over my Nano woes. Except I'm sorta in the reverse plight as Chip who keeps finding out sights are no longer there. In my case, they haven't been built yet! The Met didn't go to Lincoln Center until 1966, so I have a completely different opera house to not describe. And we won't discuss the train station situations. I find it doubly ironic because the taxi driver in the musical is named Hildy, originally Brunhilde. My Wagnerian muses are delighted.
