Not Tinkers to Evers to Chance, but Frances to Ivan to Jeanne... Thinking very good thoughts towards the Florida coast and maybe farther up. The positively last thing the East Coast needs is yet another hurricane.
Finally got around to finish watching the ESPN's Poker shootout with the top ten players. Fascinating to watch a table with just the big guns, not any Internet players or amateurs mucking up the works. They certainly knew each other's quirks and ragged each other mercilessly. Phil Hellmuth should be "Hellmouth", given his penchant for mouthing off after he's been outplayed and outmaneuvered. Annie Duke knocked out her older brother again, and then proceeded to shock me by winning the whole thing. I kept thinking "Please let the girl not be the first one out". Instead it was the mostly unknown guy whose specialty was the big cash games.
CVS meeting went well. I was the only one who submitted a research report. I chose the Russian female fighter pilots in WWII, a topic I've been interested in for a number of years after stumbling over a book on the subject on one of my library assignments. I still haven't used the information for story ideas yet, although the bunnies have been lurking around the fringes.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ladyofchulak survived her first critique session without incident. It doesn't get any less nerve wracking sadly. We had a long dinner afterwards to discuss a community idea we had, which prompted some interesting, maybe scary, plot noodling. I handed myself a crossover from hell that I'll be curious to see if I can write, both fandoms I've never attempted before.
Overdue: Library humor. Flash movie. Very silly.
