As with every other freaking language, Irish has separate expressions for know, one as in "to be familiar with" and one as in "to know a fact." And since I speak Spanish as well, we'll go with that.

Conocer - Tá aithne agam ar Sheán.

Saber - Tá eolas agam ar chúrsaí dlí. I know something about legal matters.
Tá Gaeilge agam. I know (lit. have) Irish.
Tá a fhios agam faoi sin. I know about that.
Tá sé sin ar eolas agam. I am aware of that. (lit. I have that on knowledge.)

Cé acu an líne is faide/is giorra? (... they're the same freaking length.)
Is í líne B an ceann is faide.
Is í líne A an ceann is giorra.

Is é rothar b an ceann is saoire.
Is é rothar c an ceann is daoire.

All right, let's at least attempt to get back on schedule, yes? Yes.

Spent most of this weekend meaning to do a lot of writing and not doing much of it because exhausted. Which given the last couple of weeks, I suppose that's a fair reason to need to take a weekend off, but I still feel like I need to do fifty frillion things. Though, thinking about it, only one of those is going to be a long term thing, several of them are stories that need finished and submitted and that'll be gone when it's gone, and once I'm done with the draft of White Lightning that can sit on a shelf for a while. Plus blogwork. So, okay, maybe not so much. It's just the next week, week and a half that's going to be hellish. Woo.

And this week had better be better than the last week. I'm just saying. Did I mention the boy's father was in the ICU the last couple of days of last week? It has literally gotten to the point where I cringe whenever the phone rings in case it's bad news. The boy's father is doing better, though, or at least the doctors say he's past the crisis point.

Right. So. Gods and Monsters is go live on the 2nd, which is fucking THURSDAY. I have no idea how that happened. Apart from time is getting away from me and it needs to stop doing that. Still, I'm largely ready. Or will be ready by tonight, tomorrow morning? At least in terms of stuff. In terms of mental capacity I'm ready to do this let's do this thing? AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAno. Just, no. Still terrified. Still worried this isn't going to go past my flist. But, yet again, it's a story I love. So hopefully other people will love it too.

And beyond that, um. Okay, today's work is White Lightning and the submission that closes May 1, first of all. And once those are done, or at least a chunk of WL and the edits on that other submission are done, then I can alternate between other submissions and G&M and get more of that done. Plus blogwork, which should start pretty soon. Tomorrow night, maybe, since I really do need to get cracking on my episode of Person of Interest if I don't want to be doing it all at the last minute ~~like I always do.~~ Heh. Oops. When the hell did my life get so damn busy?
