Writer's Block: Passing Time

[Error: unknown template qotd]

In high school, I used to transcribe poetry I'd memorized in the back of my text books. My French teacher once caught me doing that. He was so flummoxed by the strangeness of it he didn't say anything. It was English poetry, mostly, too.

Sometimes I still do that.

Sometimes I doodle trees and vines.

Sometimes I daydream about fandom of choice, or book of choice. Or make up stories.

Tuesday...

Today I met commodorified at Bridgehead for coffee, and then we went for a walk in the park and along the canal. Afterwards, researched Hadrian's Wall a little at my place. We have plans to walk there. Practice beforehand will be necessary.

Lunch was lovely, too. maaseru and Catherine and I meant to go to Von's, but when we got there they were crowded, and we realized we'd never been to the place next door to Von's, Infusion Bistro. I liked the decor - not fancy, but with a nice brick wall and blown-up art photos I liked on the wall. Many's the time I don't like art photos. The french fries were delicious - and it's becoming harder and harder to find good french fries in Ottawa. I had lamb with spinach salad - delicious lamb, and even just having lamb on the menu earned them my seal of approval. Catherine had an appetizer of some sort of goat's cheese and mushrooms in pastry, incredibly good. I couldn't taste maaseru's spinach and coconut soup, as it was spicy.

Then in the evening I played with making screencaps from Torchwood, and I made some icons. Me, an icon-maker! Wonders never cease. I might even have the nerve to use them one day. Maybe.
