Just another day

Didn't do the "lunch with Kat" thing because she was stuck at SSI all day. We're going to try again tomorrow.

However, I did manage a smidgen of Known and Unknown. My output over the last couple of months is so meagre that even a few hundred words looks good. (It helped that jdsgirlbev wanted to know about Nancy McGill in yesterday's writing meme.) Despite not having worked on it much of late, I've thought a great deal about it. Once I've gotten it to a certain point, it'll roll right along, it's a matter of getting to that point.

Also glanced through Nature vs Nurture...didn't really DO anything with it, but it, too, is getting the benefit of a lot of brainpower.

Spent the evening fixing hamburgers---the whole house smells of them because my range hood hasn't worked since 1996---and watching the AFI's countdown of the top 100 films of all time and feeling smug when I could name the film before the title caption flashed on-screen. And vindicated: The Shawshank Redemption scored better than Forrest Gump; I've been incensed for years that Shawshank didn't get the Oscar for the best-adapted screenplay, which Frank Darabont richly deserved.

Life is good!
