Bloglines
I use bloglines to keep track of the blogs that I read. That way I don’t have to stop by constantly to see if they are updated. It’s handy. A little notifier just lights up in the bottom of my screen that someone has updated I can check in whenever I want. Sound like a
Ambassador Visits Set
Well, this is old news, but it came to mind because I was RSVPing for the Fourth of July party that the embassy is throwing. Back in March, the US Ambassador visited the set. Unfortunately, that’s not David in the photo. There are an amazing number of photos of David floating around the internet, which

Dr. Who
I started my Dr. Who story today. It’s going smoothly thus far. I did have to pause in the middle of it to look at photos of the Charles Bridge, where a lot of my action takes place. I had researched it when I wrote the synopsis, but needed to get a better handle on
Locked In and Breakthrough
I just finished another story. This one is short, 1100 words. God. It feels so good to write. I had this conversation with Ken Scholes the other day, and realized that despite my connection with Codex and Shimmer, I miss having someone to shoot the breeze with about a story. We talked about “Ginger” and

Errands and writing
Nothing much today. I got to take care of some errands, like running the car to the rental agency so they can replace the brake pad. I spent the rest of the day writing. I finished one story and worked on editing it. After some excellent feedback at Hatrack, this is the current opening. If

Bara finnt!
I feel totally triumphant. I had to make arrangements to pick up Audrey tomorrow and actually managed to do it in Icelandic. Granted, I figured out what I wanted to say beforehand and wrote it down as a script, but still! I spoke and was understood.

by Ken Scholes and John A. Pitts
I just read The Fortean Bureau: There Once was a Girl from Nantucket (A Fortean Love Story) by Ken Scholes and John A. Pitts It’s wonderful. Read it.
Up all night
All three hours of it. We went to the hot river with a group from work. It’s about an hour drive from Reykjavik and then an hour hike up into the mountains, but so worth it when you get there. Rob had to work late, so we got there about two hours after everyone else.
Happy Solstice
Today is the longest day of the year. The sun will rise at 2:57 and set at 12:02. Even though it dips below the horizon, it doesn’t go far enough for ReykjavÃk to get truly dark. I don’t know what we will do, but I hope we will go someplace to watch the sun flirt
