Jul. 14th, 2010 11:59 pmWe went and saw The Sorcerer's Apprentice today - which was a lot of fun.
Then this evening, we went to a Border's in VA for a book-signing Naomi Novik (The Temeraire books) was doing. And I'll admit that I'm odd in that while I love the fantasy genre, I don't like books with dragons or unicorns. But it was still fun hearing her read from her book and then answer questions. And the traffic on the way to the event was horrible and we hit practically every red light. And, of course, we breezed back.
On an unrelated note:
It amused me that a 302 number was given for the cover call girl agency on "Covert Affairs" last night. And the detective said, "Delaware?" And she replied, "Wilmington - tax purposes." (Which, for whatever else they got wrong, I thought that was an amusing thing to throw in there, since a lot of companies do incorporate in Delaware for tax breaks.)
And I read through the prompts on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
leveragekink out of curiosity. Bad idea. I now have two definite ideas (one somewhere between a drabble and a ficlet and the other a longer fic) and one maybe fic (it deals with a touchy subject, so...). But I think it'll be fun. And I think the shorter one will be a good way to help me get my momentum kicked into gear to write in general, since I've been doing a lot of planning lately, but not a lot of writing.
