Captain Jack Octopus

[toosuto]

Still no end to the Pox Upon Our House: the girl has two last blisters that just refuse to pop. I'm feeling all sorts of things I haven't gotten done lately but here is a list of things that I have managed:

1. Watched the first two Pirates movies with Sara (she never saw the second).
2. Finished Hunters of Dune and realized that it was only half a book: irritating.
3. The octopus below.
4. Sold my dance pad on eBay.
5.Finished HPatDH and thought it was pretty good. I enjoyed leaving the business about Snape until the very end and was satisfied that I was right: he was a good guy and a total dick. The bloody swath laid behind Harry was satisfactory as well. Sara pointed out that 1981 seems a poor death date for James and Lily and we are both hoping she meant 1991 as that makes the math correct. What does it say in the US edition? Anyway, I quite enjoyed it, and now it's over: yay! Maybe some attention could be turned to other YA authors like Garth Nix.
6.Cleaned up my resume for a Spokane job that was pointed out to me.
7. N-n-n-no tomorrow!

Things I have to do still:
1. 8 more octopi! (Yay!)
2. Not panic about having no defined plan after say, 20 August. Well Keep not panicking anyway, I am actually doing okay on this one but I do keep having to remind myself.
3. Ship said dance pad once the buy picks a shipping address.
4. Punch a puppy, kick a kitten, some sort of alliterative violence.
5. Get the comic/illustration gig churned out by 15 August (because I am awesome enough to get the bid¹).

She's always had that date, for whatever reason. Techincally, the books are set in the 1990s - the first book is set in 1992 and the last one is in 1998.

Weird, I know.

Strange indeed.

It just never (especially in the later ones) seemed like that was true. Oh well I'm not going to worry over it much at all.
