Tuesday, Obviously

Well, today is Tuesday. Today is also the first day of the week, due to the Easter break. In that time I do absolutely nothing, save walk into town to feed a friend's cat and gecko. I felt so guilty every time I left my friend's apartment. Poor Fei Fei (cat) would ignore her food and frantically rub herself against my leg looking for cuddles. I felt so badly for her every time I closed the door to her pitiful meow.

I'm suffering from guilt even now. Poor Fei Fei. If only she got along with our cats, we could have kept her at the house and she'd not be wanting for company.

Sigh.

My Easter weekend was very quiet, what with J.M-B. off to Boston to visit with family.

I had an idea for next year's April script writing challenge. I'm doing all the research and planning now. It's a silly thing, but fun. I've never written a script before, ever, so this should be a good challenge.

Of course, I'm putting that on hold until I've finished Overlord, which should hopefully be this week. Hopefully. We'll see.

Speaking of, I should be off to write the darn thing. Here is today's Forgotten English:

Kilted

The participle kilted is sometimes used metaphorically to denote language that borders upon indecency. [Derived from] kilt, the English or Saxon name for the most conspicious portion of the Highlander garb, called by the Highlanders themselves, the fillibeg, or little coat.

- Charles Mackay's Lost Beauties of the English Language, 1874

We Interupt This Regularly Scheduled Programme for Some Late Breaking News

Happy Easter, everyone!

No, that isn't the news. The news is that All Things Books has very kindly allowed me to serialise a part of my eBook. Every Monday, I'll be posting a short bit of the titular short story The Dying God for you to read. Be sure to check out their blog every Monday (and every other day, while I'm at it!). In case you missed the two other links I provided, their blog is here.

Hey, if you like the story, perhaps buy the book!

That is all the excitement I have for the day/week. Received another rejection yesterday, but I'm not going to spoil my excitement over the above with the depressing reality of trying to get an agent!

I hope everyone's Easter is wonderful and magical and tonnes of fun. See you all Monday (in two places at once!!)
