Still reminding myself that flinching is understandable but not necessary, that just because you're hurting doesn't make it about you, and that being sorry is good but learning from your mistakes is also a part of making them. Fail better next time. (As far as fails go, this could have been worse. Learn from it. Like, reading comprehension is your friend and don't get sidetracked.)
Anyway. That's finished up that grammar point for the week. Yay weather? Our weather is hot. Today, 18-30 degrees celsius. Hopefully low humidity though. Haven't learned how to complain about the humidity in Russian. For bonus points and thanks to Kiki, I said the climate in Florida is hot and oily.
There's talk of seeing Jonas Hex tonight. That ought to be fun. If nothing else there will be hanging around with Midget Hagrid, which is always fun, and possibly wandering around talking in hyperbole and drinking girly beer. I love it, he shares my fondness for Smirnoff type beverages, which he calls alcoholic Sprite and I call girly beer. This means I get to have more of it, since every time he comes over for game or for any length of time he has at least one, and I get to cycle them around more often. Anyway, so, yes. Jonas Hex. Is good. And slowly but surely getting progress on writing, and there's not much happening this weekend so hopefully I can actually finish the Holmes Big Bang and do the![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
novelbigbang pretty heftily. And, actually, now that I think about it, I'm not actually sure what they mean when they say 85% done. Plotwise, or word count wise? Huh. Something to think about. I'm going to go for 85% done plotwise, and see how that works out. My word count is going to be hefty enough, anyway, that I think even with 85% done plotwise I should be close to 85% wordwise of how it's going to turn out. Argh. Food for thought.
I am kind of amused that, looking at all my tracking information, my Pratchett books, my Madness of Angels, my bento box, my satchel, and my chip case should all be arriving at the same time on Monday. Roughly arriving at the same time. I'll be less amused if the UPS delivery for that day consists entirely or even mostly of my stuff, but there you go. At least I'll have all that out of the way, and I'll be able to see if this chip case thing really works. If not, hey, I'm not out any money and only a small percent of my gift certificate. I suppose I should get ready for work, too. Don' wanna.
