Divisions and Precisions

I'm just a reading fool....

I updated the book blog tonight, based on the two books I finished reading over the weekend. Funny, once I quit trying to read fiction, I've fairly blazed through books. I'll be kind of glad when the novel is finished, I'm chomping at the bit to read some of the fiction I've got waiting on my shelves.

Today was an excellent day all around. I crossed the 70,000 word mark on The Exile's Daughter, and feel like I'm rounding for home (which is not precisely true, but I'm probably at least sliding for third).

Dinner was an experiment which was largely successful: leftover pork tenderloin cooked into a rice pilaf with portobello mushrooms, celery, carrots, and peas. We desperately need lids for the skillets though, the rice was a little crunchy. Did I mention that I'm still really enjoying cooking? I like playing. It's like a combination science project/art work.

For now, I'm off to do my nightly thing (translation: either my PM chi tape or the QiGong routine that's in my book, one or the other). Tomorrow I have to go to the library, so hopefully I'll get some work done there--maybe I've broken my bad luck as far as library work goes.
