Today it's warmer, but rainy. A warm day without rain would be nice.
My office smells of absinthe, but I did get 1,223 words written on "La Peau Verte" yesterday — better than average. I think I'm liking this story.
Yesterday I went looking for a line to a poem I couldn't quite recall and ended up reading Emily Dickinson and Dorothy Parker for almost an hour.
Books on my desk at the moment: The Book of the Damned and New Lands by Charles Fort, Fairy and Folktales of Ireland by W. B. Yeats, Absinthe: History in a Bottle by Barnaby Conrad III, Art Through the Ages, Vol. II, Renaissance and Modern Art (8th ed.) by Horst de la Croix and Richard G. Tansey, Paradise Lost by John Milton, and Blake's Poetry and Designs by William Blake.
I need a bigger desk.
