Hmm. Was that insightful, or pointless?
Nobody said I couldn't do footnotes!
[1] My dream cars are all from fiction. I said the Torchwood car (affectionately called the Jackmobile by most, for all it has "Torchwood" written all over it), but I could have said the black car Ray drives in Stingray, or one of Lex Luthor's fancy sports cars, or - stretching the definition of a car - the TARDIS.
[2] Said only because I went to see Casion Royale, of course. I saw it with
maaseru, maaboroshi and Sarah, so that would be a more honest answer. It's also that James Bond is high in my esteem right now, for obvious reasons.[3] Also known in the U.S. as MI-5. I want to see this.
[4] I bought a new telephone yesterday at Future Shop. Today I programmed it and its answering machine. It felt like an accomplishment.
[5] A few years back the Ottawa Little Theatre mounted a production of this play, which I worked on as crew. The back of the shirt has the royal Plantagenet lion and the name of the play. The front has the old OLT logo.
[6] I could say windy, or foggy, or any number of things, but autumn weather seems to encompass most of the weather I enjoy. Good walking weather.
[7] Because I have to finish editing a story and I'm writing this instead. Back to the story in moments. Really.
[8] If there's a way to say that in one word, I can't think of it. I guess I could have said 'sitting' or 'typing'.

Date: 2006-11-20 01:09 pm (UTC)Medlar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medlar) jelly is spreadable heaven in a jam-jar. It is truly the jam of the gods. It is especially good on wholemeal toast or on proper muffins. It's up there with rose-petal jam and quince jam (the chunky, non-jelly sort). Apparently, it is appreciated in Piedmont, but then that is a paradisical region for so many reasons!
Re. 29: I'm trying to deploy my arguments coherently in this chapter, and not rant against the writers I hate. Not even Scott and Shelby. I have to behave myself!

Such self-restraint! You are quite right, of course. I think what I would do in your place is rant to my heart's content, and then cut the ranting from the final draft.
