I Wrote No Words And The Wildlife Rebelled.

[mmerriam]

I was a good workshop member today and did two reviews. I enjoyed both stories, which always makes it a little easier to do a crit.

No new words today. I did a little pre-writing and a lot of thinking about the story. I plan to start the actual draft on Monday. Of course, now that I've said that in public, I'm sure the story will mug me tomorrow.

Wildlife adventures: Walter, our very nearly tame squirrel, walked up to me today and put his little paws on my pants legs and look up at me with big, adorable eyes. "Peanut?" he seemed to say. I carry them in my pocket for just such an occasion. He very solemnly took it from my hand and then vanished in a flash of grey tail.

We've had geese lately. Lots and lots of geese. As I was crossing Landmark Trail to get to the mailbox, something spooked them and they took off from the ridge they were on. I looked up to find about two dozen frantic, honking, low-flying Christmas dinners coming right for me. I ducked, they climbed. No one was hurt.

I had a phone interview with the Guthrie Theater for a position in their marketing department. We shall see if anything comes of it.

"I ducked, they climbed."

Yes, but a part of me wants this to say, "I ducked, they goosed."

And that, my dear, would have been comedy!

Theatre, huh. Sounds interesting. Holding thumbs.

You're lucky you didn't get purged on :P As I was leaving MN to go to AR for guard, I had a flock of 30 take off from the side of the road and dump all across the front of the car and windshield. I was blind until the wiper fluid hit :)

I actually fully expected to be bombed, but I guess the Gods decided I had enough going on as it stood.
