Sleepy. Stayed up too late last night reading the rest of Geisha: A Life (so now I have inadvertently done a Wednesday Reads post!) because I was near the end and I was fascinated. It's a book by Mineko Iwasaki, one of the main sources for Arthur Golden's Memoirs of A Geisha about which there are several controversies and I will leave it at that. But Mineko Iwasaki's book is a wonderful read, very comprehensible and intriguing in the glimpses it gives into her world. Hence the staying up too late. I need to figure out what to read next, though. I have the rest of Fort Freak to finish, and a Tad Williams book, The Devil's Alphabet by Daryl Gregory, The Windup Girl, and Soulless also to go through. And The Name of the Wind. Any ideas where to start first?
And, you know. Things got accomplished yesterday. I finished today's blog entry and another scene in Gods and Monsters, even if I wanted to finish the whole damn thing. Ended up dealing with the weirdest incoming shipment to arrive lately, though that supplier is always a bit screwy. Finished spinning the singles for the next two Grimm scarves, now I just have to ply them. Made a pretty good dinner. Didn't overwork myself, did get my languages and exercises done. Not that bad!
Today, oh god. Finishing the goddamn Gods and Monsters draft, preferably in the morning, and other than that collating Black Ice into a document. Which is pretty much my task tonight and Friday and Thursday during the day, Thursday evening I'm going to try to get the next episode of Haven finished. Oddly, I still don't feel rushed. Just tired. Which in this case is less doing too much and, again, my own damn fault. Workload for the next few days is doable. Though I also have no idea when we're going to watch the new Phryne Fisher or what's going to happen this weekend when Haven comes back. Ulp.
