little things please little minds, such as strawberry tarts

[incandescens]

Rather a good day. There was rain, but I avoided it, and I did the shopping, and started sewing together the new quilt top, and had a lovely salmon teriyaki for supper. And I got myself a strawberry tart from the nice (possibly pseudo-)French patisserie that I hadn't tried before, which was a very pleasant dessert.

And I have all of tomorrow to look forward to as well.

And I'm up to about a thousand words on current bit of writing. Brain is working again. This is good. (Even if nose is not fully working yet. I'll take what I can get.)

Esmeraude /great control. "…it seems that I have missed some major shifts in court politics."
Saphir: "Indeed."
Esmeraude: "…"
Saphir: "…"
Esmeraude: "…"
Saphir /breaks coffee mug. "We had everything under control, and now it's all going to go to Hell! DAMN that shady fortune-teller!"
Esmeraude /snaps fan in half. "Damn that Sailor Moon! She's bewitched my Prince's heart, and she hasn't even MET him yet!"
Saphir: "He comes out of nowhere and completely EMASCULATES my brother with his cunning words! And what kind of name is 'Wiseman', anyway? Talk about self-promotion!"
Esmeraude: "Come to think of it, he was also the one who came up with that 'ancient legend' about the Silver Crystal."
Saphir: "…That's true."
Esmeraude: "Yes."
Saphir: "You know, history's filled with tales of so-called prophets manipulating great leaders for their own ends."
Esmeraude: "…That's true."
Saphir: "Yes."
Esmeraude: "…"
Saphir: "…"
Esmeraude /questioning glance?
Saphir /significant look.
Esmeraude /quiet chuckle.
Saphir /confident scowl.
Esmeraude /claps hands. "Well! You heard our Prince! I'd better get on with my job of killing I MEAN HA HA kidnapping Sailor Moon."
Saphir: "Yes, you go do just that, Esmeraude. And I'll, hmm, inspect our forces' readiness just in case they are needed soon for some unforeseen circumstance."
Esmeraude /bows. "Lord Saphir."
Saphir /bows. "Lady Esmeraude."

Yay for writing! And brain!

*eyes the quotation bit with amusement*

[incandescens]

Those recaps are entertaining. Shadowjack's just got onto Sailor Moon S. I await the full arrival of Uranus and Neptune. :)

[archangelbeth]

I shall have to wander over and observe the recaps sometime! Not that I remember much of when the kid was marathoning Sailor Moon...

[incandescens]

Trust me, they're excellent. I think you'll particularly enjoy his Mercury.

[archangelbeth]

Must Read! But first, Must Write.

[incandescens]

As must we all. Sigh.

Ami /scanning. "Right! I think I've located the Dark Kingdom's base."
Usagi: "Good job!"
Makoto: "You detected their evil energies with your tricorder?"
Ami /flips visor up. "I did that to confirm, yeah, but I could already guess that it's the giant, dimly glowing crater in the ice over there that's exuding a column of purple vapors. You guys can probably just see it yourselves if you squint."

Mmmmm... strawberry tarts...

(hopefully looks for rain to jump right into...)

I am glad that you are recovering. It is good to have a brain. (pets own gently)

and I *loved* the quote. *laughs*

[incandescens]

I would send you some of this rain if I could! But in the meantime, have a metaphorical strawberry tart . . . and do come and visit some time. :)

Thank you!

Ahh, a fellow Shadowjack fan. Nice to hear that the brain is also working.

[incandescens]

Absolutely. I'm really looking forward to seeing what he does with this season.
