misscamHoly Niflheim, it just hailed. In the middle of a very loud thunderstorm. In the middle of summer.
Look! And the result after. Those were large. My cat totally freaked out and went and hid under the bed. Then it turned brilliant sunshine for a bit and now it's pouring rain again. Figures.
Meme knicked from the flist: Five Things I Did This Week I Suggest To You
1. Read Anthony Beever's D-Day. I'ved liked several of his previous books, and did this one as well. It manages to give accounts of people who experienced it while painting the bigger picture as well, and it actually gives some insight into Eurpean-US relations even today. History isn't just what happened, it's also why we are where we are. It also underlines how horrid war is and how all sides will do terrible things.
2. Wrote. Finished my remix, got a speedy beta (thankslyricalviolet!) and can now feel in good conscience. Kept writing on my AU Daybreak with resurrection returned. It's nice to play around writh words.
"Laura seems physically fine," Ellen says, and sits down. There's always so much to say to John, to keep him as informed as she knows he'd like to me. Always wanting to know everything, Cavil. She made him like that.
"I don't know about her state of mind," she continues. "She didn't volunteer for it. Should have known Saul would lie to me for Bill. Do you know what it's like to remember thousands of years with him and feel jealous of a friendship? No, you would only love if it was in your best interest."
She sighs a little. Her flawed children. Create life, that is one thing. Form it is another.
"Resurrection is adaptable to humans. It'll ensure their survival. You almost killed them, John. Now you'll help them survive."
He would comment on that if he could, she knows, but the part of him deep within that can still understand her can't speak and the rest of him hasn't learned to yet.
It'll be a few months yet.
Cavil always wanted to be a machine. Now that's what he'll never be, a purposely botched resurrection into an all-too human baby. She thinks she's locked the memories Cavil has just right, from what she learned when he did it to her.
She's going to raise him right this time. All of them.
3. Rediscovered polar bread. I used to eat it when I was young when my parents would drive in summer from southeastern Norway (where we lived) to northern Norway (where my father's parents lived) and then back again through Sweden. (It's actually faster, weird as it sounds.) Yum. Been eating loads of them this week.
4. Bought Bruce Springsteen's Greatest Hits for my iPod. Bruce will always be to me my mother, who loves him dearly and would play him in the living room so many evenings as I grew up. It's the sound of my childhood and teenage years and I was feeling nostalgic. Listening to things you associate with good things can be really uplifting, so heartily recommended.
5. Slept outside. One night it was warm enough, so I slept in a sleeping bag under a roof. Falling asleep with the sounds of birds and silence around really is something not quite like sleeping inside. I like it.
In other news:
- Iran election, why you should care.
- And to remind you why we got ways to go with gender equality still, to sell fruit-flavored alcoholic beverages, Bacardi launches an ad campaign at women with the message that all that women need to be more attractive is to find an more unattractive female friend to stand next to. Oh, gag me with a shot glas.
- A real Romeo and Juliet tragedy in India.
- Inspired by Obama's famed oneshot of a fly, ten fly-swatting techniques.
